Brief Description: a fabric, wallcovering, and trim company mainly used in residential areas. They are pushing towards sustainability in their products. They can be woven or printed fabrics. Very nice quality fabrics, so I'm suspecting it to be more on the pricy side. Great with colors and patterns--a large variety. I would love using them in upper end homes. The wall coverings are very elegant and nice. It doesn't mention fire codes, so best to not use in commercial.

Sustainability: some of their products receive the green leaf logo which means the material meets a certain level of sustainability. Their linen fabric uses a natural, non-allergenic fiber. Jute is fully biodegradable and renewable fabric with natural UV protection. Velvet comes from mills that practices safe dyeing and bleaching. The wallcoverings use all natural materials, wheat-based glue, and environmentally safe dyeing processes. This includes grasscloth, sisal, and paper weaves

No safety or fire codes mentioned
