MARCH 2023 (TUALATIN, OREGON) – Hartmann&Forbes, maker of sustainable natural window and wall coverings is proud to announce the launch of its first collection with Erinn V., founder and principal designer of the award-winning design firm Erinn V. Design Group, and ERINN V. furniture brand, as well as the visionary behind StyleRow. Adding to Hartmann&Forbes’ diverse portfolio of designs, the collection reflects her signature California style, and includes an assortment of weaves that are designed to be a very usable and livable “modern neutrals” collection.

“I love an open weave texture on windows.” explains Erinn V. “There is something very chic and beautiful to me in the feeling of a mesh-like texture in window coverings. Unexpected and yet so practical.”

The collection features three Woven-to-Size Grassweave windowcovering series.

WOVEN-TO-SIZE GRASSWEAVE WINDOWCOVERINGS

At Sea – Inspired by traditional fishing nets, At Sea features an open weave hand loomed from natural palm and ramie fibers. Rendered in a range of coastal hues, the design’s rhythmic, grid pattern gives the textural tableaux a sense of structure that suits formal and informal settings alike. 

Whitecaps – Evocative of waves breaking on the seashore, refined ramie is woven with richly dimensional ramie slubs that ebb and flow across the canvas, producing an artful, abstract pattern conjuring the look of cresting whitecaps.

Dockside – Drawing inspiration from picturesque docks found along the west coast, Dockside’s variegated stripes descend the relaxed ramie weave, evoking the profile of a pier and producing a play of texture and tension against the tonal, open ground.
