"Co-creating soulful products
by sharing the smallest, greatest stories from around the world.
About people, by people, for people."
The story about the story: Talking Walls was initiated by Philippe Pelsmaekers, a former adman.
He was struck by the craftsmanship, personality and artistic endeavor of the quaint and often humorous signs of small shops from around the world, that he wanted to meet the people behind them and share their stories.
He jumped on a plane to India in search of the best tales.
Few years later, with the help of the most fantastic people on earth, Talking Walls puts the stories of the streets from four corners of the world on its collections, sells its products across Europe and expands to overseas markets.
Walls that speak?
