Introducing 111 Mercer by Tempaper & Co.
Brick, N.J., July 30, 2026 – Tempaper & Co. is proud to announce the launch of 111 Mercer, a brand of luxury wallcoverings created exclusively for the trade.
Building on nearly two decades of innovation and craftsmanship, the new trade-only brand introduces an elevated assortment of unpasted wallcoverings, printed grasscloths, and other exceptional materials made to meet the needs of the design community. The collection will also be available through select retailers and trade showrooms, ensuring an exclusive experience for the trade.
“111 Mercer by Tempaper & Co. reflects our commitment to continually evolving alongside the design community,” said Jennifer Matthews, Co-Founder of 111 Mercer by Tempaper & Co. “We are proud to introduce a brand created exclusively for the trade, a community that has been at the heart of our business since we first began 18 years ago.”
The Story Behind The Brand
111 Mercer is a storied building located on an iconic block in Soho’s Cast-Iron Historic District in downtown New York City. To Julia Au and Jennifer Matthews, it was more than an address; it was a destination.
The two spent their youth at 111 Mercer with their aunt, a legendary New York City set designer, immersed in design on film and television production sets. At 111 Mercer, they learned about the importance of details and final touches; it was here that they began to nurture an early passion for design and interiors. The demands of set production and constantly building new environments fostered a need for a beautiful, quality, high-functioning wallpaper that could be changed with ease. With their aunt, Julia and Jennifer co-founded Tempaper in 2008, bringing a patented, removable peel and stick wallcovering to market which had not previously existed.
Now, two decades later, the same ideation and innovation that brought Tempaper to life has created 111 Mercer, a brand rooted in beautifying living spaces through wallcoverings’ chameleon-like ability to alter interiors. The collection offers a stunning assortment of wallcoverings in luxe substrates, gorgeous patterns, and rich hues, exclusively to the trade.
“Tempaper was born from our firsthand experience working alongside the interior design community in set design,” says Julia Au, co-founder of Tempaper and 111 Mercer. “We gained a deep appreciation for the creative process and became attuned to the unique needs of the trade. While our business has evolved over the past 18 years, our connection to the design community has remained at our core. Introducing a new brand dedicated exclusively to this audience is an incredibly meaningful milestone. It feels like both a homecoming and an exciting new beginning.”
111 Mercer marks a dynamic new chapter for the company. Its luxury wallcovering collections will expand each season to offer the trade an exquisite assortment of materials and patterns to complement myriad projects.
