My love of Fortuny Fabrics

Fortuny fabrics are among the most finely crafted fabrics in the world. The richly printed fabrics were first created by Spaniard Mariano Fortuny.  Born in 1871, Fortuny had an eye for Old World beauty and textiles, and moved to Venice at the turn of the century to build his renowned reputation for creating a new standard in luxury fabric. 





Today many designers, including myself, incorporate Fortuny into projects.  Fortuny is one of the most sophisticated, colorful and lovely fabrics to work with.



On a recent project we used a gorgeous brown fabric on a custom lampshade and pillows



A bench we made for a dressing area



Another custom lampshade for a client



This is from the newly opened showroom in NYC...Gorgeous!!!




More from the Showroom, loving the detail on the bottom of the sofa!


And now... An iPhone/iPad App!!! I am officially happy!
