AMY MEIER, founder and principal designer of Rancho Santa Fe-based Amy Meier Design and Amy Meier, a specialty boutique, is renowned for an aesthetic that seamlessly blends tradition and innovation. Her projects have been published in such magazines as House Beautiful, Veranda, and ELLE DECOR, and she was named a Traditional Home Rising Star in 2017 and one of Veranda’s Next Legends for 2022. Her collection by Hartmann&Forbes deftly fuses inspiration from Japanese design, the Bauhaus School, and traditional Korean cloth.

“Though I drew inspiration from seemingly disparate sources: Japanese Minimalism Design, the Bauhaus School, and ancient Korean cloth tradition, it’s what these movements have in common that excited me: Minimalism, Functionalism, and the use of raw materials.  And what better medium than the naturally beautiful Hartmann&Forbes handwoven products to express the organic yet highly structured design I envisioned.  It is my hope that these individual weaves are seen and used as a whole, as it was my intention for them to work and play off of each other, creating a far richer composition.” ~Amy Meier

The Amy Meier Collection by Hartmann&Forbes features seven Woven-to-Size Grassweave windowcovering designs.

For the past 21 years, the Hampton Designer Showhouse has been the showcase for some of America’s premier design talent and has raised nearly $2M for Stony Brook Southampton Hospital. 

This Fall more than 20 top interior designers transformed a magnificent, historic 1830s Hampton House into a decorating modern masterpiece. Originally part of the Wooley Estate, the historic house has been designated a contributing resource to the Southampton Village, and as such, features the original 1835 front porch design complete with Italianate brackets and swan spirals. While adhering to the strict façade guidelines, the renovation also included over 7,000 sq feet of living space, expanding on 3 levels with over 23 modern interior spaces. 

The 2021 Hampton Designer Showhouse was sponsored by HC&G (Hamptons Cottages & Gardens).

Inspired by the natural beauty of the Hamptons, Designer Kate Singer used watery blues, driftwood and rattan finishes. “Along with the creative aspect,” Singer told HC&G, “the showhouse gives me the opportunity to join my colleagues in support of a worthy cause.”

A classic weaving technique in which pattern and color are woven directly into the textile with a visible reverse pattern is known as jacquard. In 1801, Joseph Marie Jacquard invented the jacquard loom, simplifying the method for producing complex, consistent textiles. Offering a maximum width of 100 inches, our loom features an attachment of punch cards that correspond to textile patterns, controlling which warp threads are raised so the weft thread can be hand passed under them. By incorporating the use of a jacquard loom, Hartmann&Forbes can now realize a broader range of looks, including the graphic and creative designs of the new Max Humphrey collection.
