Bianchini-Férier, the silk-weaving manufacturer, was founded in Lyon in 1888. From 1912, the company collaborated with artists such as Raoul Dufy, Robert Bonfils, Paul Iribe and Henri Gillet to produce designs for silk scarves and fabric. The designs were inspired by nature and featured stylized flower and animal motifs with an Art Deco flair.
