HARTMANN&FORBES LAUNCHES NEW DESIGNS – RAINFALL AND CATHEDRAL

Hartmann&Forbes,® custom maker of handcrafted windowcoverings, wallcoverings and textiles of sustainable natural materials, announces the release of the Rainfall series, including four natural woven-to-size windowcoverings and the Cathedral series, offering six handcrafted natural wallcoverings.

Shimmering raindrops are the inspiration for the Rainfall series. To create a pleasant variance, softly reflective metallic and colored threads dance with white ramie weft fibers in harmonious, handwoven choreography. These custom woven-to-size shade and drapery styles are available in seamless widths up to 180," perfect for covering large modern window expanses.

Resembling the glossy bark of rain-soaked Aspens in the Cathedral region of the Colorado mountains, this innovative design is created with hand-sliced cork skillfully placed on metallic-backed paper, then printed with a design inspired by winter woodlands. The meticulous hand process results in a lasting artisanal impression. These natural wallcoverings are available in 8 yard rolls, 36" wide, and harmonize perfectly with the new Rainfall series.

The reflective characteristics of the designs acknowledge the winter season, embracing the natural beauty offered during this contemplative season,” said Hartmann&Forbes’ in-house Designer and Director of Product Development, Rebecca Welch. Further, she states that “These new products are exquisitely matched to enhance one another, and bring an austere simplicity to any interior, all year long.
