Capabilities for Hospitality and Commercial Environments
Our workroom fabricates custom drapery and curtains, Roman shades, and motorized window treatment systems using Lutron and Somfy technology. We draw from the same designer fabric and hardware library used on our residential commissions — including Romo, Zinc, Mark Alexander, Kravet, Lee Jofa, Clarke & Clarke, Fabricut, and JF Fabrics, paired with architectural-grade hardware from Vesta and Morgik — and apply it to the scale and requirements of hospitality and commercial spaces such as hotel guestrooms and suites, ballrooms and event spaces, and restaurant dining rooms.
Our Process for Commercial and Hospitality Projects
Consultation and Project Discussion
Every project begins with a conversation about your space, timeline, and goals. We are glad to speak directly with hotel developers, hospitality designers, architects, general contractors, restaurant owners, commercial property managers, and interior designers to understand project scope before proposing next steps.
Measurement and Site Coordination
Where applicable, our team coordinates a site visit to measure windows and openings, review architectural drawings, and confirm access requirements with the property or project team.
Design and Specification Review
We review fabric, style, lining, and operating system options with you or your design and procurement team, and confirm specifications before fabrication begins.
Fabrication
Our standard workroom process involves cutting and sewing drapery in-house at our Chelsea facility. For any project, the specific fabrication and installation arrangement is confirmed with the client during the design and specification review.
Installation
Our team can install the finished treatments directly, or coordinate installation timing with your general contractor or property team, depending on the requirements of the project.
