Hartmann&Forbes Ranks #6 on Oregon Business Magazine’s “100 Best Green Workplaces” — 13 Years of Leadership in Sustainability

June 2025 (Tualatin, OR) – Hartmann&Forbes, the luxury design house known for its handwoven natural window and wall coverings, has once again earned a place among Oregon Business Magazine’s 100 Best Green Workplaces. This marks the thirteenth consecutive year the company has been honored — a testament to its unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship and thoughtful innovation. This year, Hartmann&Forbes is ranked #6, reinforcing its leadership in sustainable luxury.

At Hartmann&Forbes, sustainability is not a trend — it is a legacy. Every product begins with a reverence for nature: rapidly renewable plant fibers such as ramie, abaca, and water hyacinth are hand-harvested and woven near the source using centuries-old techniques that honor both craft and conservation.

Each piece is then handwoven from these natural fibers and finished with time-honored methods — from sun-bleaching to plant-based dyes — thoughtfully designed for longevity, wellness, and a graceful return to the earth. Internally, this ethos is brought to life through Project Green, a 20-year initiative that galvanizes every team member to contribute to a higher purpose. From sustainable packaging, carbon-neutral shipping, and comprehensive recycling, Hartmann&Forbes continues to challenge itself with a simple, guiding inquiry:

• Can we choose better?
• Can we waste less?
• Can we care more deeply — and more consistently — for the world we share?

“The recognition is humbling,” says Michael Jones, Founder and CEO of Hartmann&Forbes. “But awards are not the goal. The real work happens every day — in the quiet decisions we make, the care we bring to the process, and our collective belief that design should be as ethical as it is beautiful. This honor reflects our team’s deep integrity and enduring vision.”
