At the Heart of Hartmann&Forbes – Safety by Design
November spotlights Child Safety, but for us, safety and health are at the forefront of everything we do, every day of the year. We make key decisions throughout the design, weaving, and crafting process of our natural windowcoverings to ensure our products do not endanger those around them. Our Safety by Design™ Initiative is meant to communicate these safety considerations.
Our Dedication to Safety
We remain steadfast in our dedication to make windowcoverings that meet or exceed safety guidelines as prescribed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Window Covering Manufacturers Association (WCMA). We conduct ongoing testing to ensure that our windowcoverings are safe to operate, and continually strive to research and engineer innovative solutions and techniques to further improve shade safety.
Contributing to In-Home Health
We minimize the use of additives that may off-gas and reduce indoor air quality. We use natural techniques to achieve rich color tones and low or no VOC paints, stains, and adhesives whenever possible. As a result, our products have a minimal impact on air quality within an interior environment.
Cordless Innovations
Our award-winning Rollerfold™ Style combines the aesthetic beauty of a roman-fold shade with the sleek performance and child safety features of a Roller Style shade. This patented-innovative style is Best for Kids Certified when automated. Learn more.
Our Cordless Rollershade is operated by a smooth, silent spring system and delivers a simple and safe solution for spaces that solicit a cordless choice. With one easy pull, this rollershade lifts in a quiet and controlled motion. Learn more.
Eliminating all pull-cords with shade automation is the ultimate in safe, intelligent, and effortless shade functionality. Learn more.

Room: Master Bedroom
Windowcovering: Old Style roman shade in KW92 Blossom - Pacific Basin, from the Tailored-to-Size collection, pre-woven and in-stock offering a shorter lead time.
“We have drawn our inspiration from this view of nature, and executed our design with a nod to both classicism and a little of the far east. References to flowers are evident in the art, furniture and lighting. We are using geodes as accent pieces, botanical prints frame the bed wall, integrated with architectural moldings and an accent wallpaper depicting clouds is featured in the bathroom,” said Mikulich to Aspire Design & Home.

Since day one, sustainability has been a way of life at Hartmann&Forbes. We pride ourselves in being good stewards of the earth, which is why we are honored to be ranked #21 on the list of Oregon Business Magazine’s "100 Best Green Workplaces," marking our ninth consecutive year.
It’s with thoughtful consideration that we continually seek ways to minimize our impact throughout our harvesting, weaving and finishing processes, as well as drive change within our industry.
The creation of each H&F handwoven shade and wallcovering, begins by choosing only the finest sustainable fibers, each rapidly-renewable and grown in well-managed ecosystems – to create wellness in an interior space.
Congratulations to all the companies in Oregon who earned this accomplishment.
