Bartsch is a decorative painting workshop specializing in children’s rooms. This company from Paris, France, was founded by cousins Gala and Nicolas. They have combined their skills to create collections of chic and playful patterns in their Parisian workshop. Bartsch, whose name comes from their great-grandfather, is the result of the relationship between graphic design and decorative painting.
