This fall Brunschwig & Fils is introducing the Paule Marrot Collection of six cheerful prints and four coordinating woven designs. Paule Marrot designed these prints during the thirties, forties and fifties in Paris. Madame Marrot was influenced by the works of Matisse, Rouault, Vlaminck and Dufy. Bright primary colors were evident in all her designs. Quite simply, she loved joy; she loved being happy – and it reflected in her art.

In 1945 Paule Marrot introduced this French collection to American decorators and clients, including Jacqueline Kennedy who designed a living room around Les Tulipes Cotton Print (shown here) which was first created and introduced in 1938.

Intrigued by Mother of Pearl's natural beauty and potential for use in interiors, Maya Romanoff set out to create a Mother of Pearl surface material that could have limitless potential. After sourcing inlaid shell plates, Joyce Romanoff, President, brought the challenge back to their team of designers.

The Romanoff team quickly developed an alchemy of their own that protected the delicate shells to make them suitable for residential and commercial use, while enhancing the natural beauty of the shell. The result": beautiful tiles, hand inlaid with genuine shells. Sold as 24"x 12" tiles, Mother of Pearl is a true surfacing material. Beyond being a viable wall covering, it is also useable in furniture, on columns in place of wall tiles and in retail displays.

Carolyn Ray, Inc. presenting FUN AND GAMES (OR Modern Art Comes out to Play)
Our latest textile collection takes inspiration from minimalism's process-oriented reductionist concerns. With ethereal grounds and colors, a big dose of studio playtime, and tongue firmly in chic, we introduce the FUN AND GAMES Collection.

Minimalism comes out of the museum--out to play in today's interior. RING TOSS plays the positive/negative game. And HOPSCOTCH jumps effortlessly from dark to light. This design duo is at once collectible art and whimsically light-filled textiles. A note for our environmentally-conscious friends, and true to minimalism's beginnings, "found object" recycled industrial materials were the production templates for these ultra-elegant designs. RING TOSS and HOPSCOTCH, come and play with Carolyn Ray!

Lee Jofa® announces SOLARIUM - a premiere collection of indoor – outdoor performance fabrics designed exclusively by David Easton. In his fourth collection with Lee Jofa, Easton has infused six original prints and ten weaves with the kind of insouciant sophistication and grandeur that have made him a pre-eminent name in interior design. Inspired by an illustrious history of family gardens, Easton has fashioned these fabrics with the same perennial principle that has shaped his career in design: the garden's sublime powers of integration can shape our lives, both indoors and out.

When Solarium first arrived on the indoor-outdoor scene, it had a tough act follow. Our exacting standards demanded that any entrance into the field of indoor-outdoor performance fabrics be nothing short of spectacular. Now Lee Jofa has gone one step further. With the designing acumen and subtlety of a master like David Easton, Solarium has nowhere to go but ... everywhere.
