Why Designers Work With Us

A third-generation family workroom. Serving New York from Manhattan since 1987.

Made in-house. Drapery and Roman shades are cut, sewn and finished in our own workroom at 46 West 21st Street.

Fluent in New York buildings. We coordinate with co-op and condominium management, follow building requirements and carry full insurance.

One partner for the whole room. Drapery, shades, motorization and upholstery from one team, so fabrics, finishes and schedules stay aligned.

Trusted on hospitality projects. Our drapery work includes Cipriani 42nd Street and the spa at Casa Cipriani.
