Fabric industry great, Kravet owns 
Brunschwig & Fils, Lee Jofa and GP&J Baker
Aviva Stanoff textiles studio hails from the beaches and lagoons of California and offers signature textiles made by hand and designed to order.  Aviva taps into her extensive international travel, here childhood summers spent around her grandfather's Buddhist temple in Japan, and her current beautiful environment in California to make her designs. I look forward to hearing from Aviva, and about how she creates these bespoke textiles.

As Creative Director, Scott Kravet travels the globe building upon Kravet's extensive textile archives.  They have a 100-year history built on founding principles of providing extraordinary quality, unwavering integrity, and uncompromising commitment to the industry.  A few years back they bought up my favorite French fabric atelier, Brunschwig & Fils.  Five generations laters, Kravet has expanded to a global brand with Lee Jofa, GP&J Baker and Brunschwig & Fils in their offerings.

Since 2015, Susan Young and I have been creating and manufacturing wallpaper and fabric to the design trade.  Three years young, we hold a commitment to Made in the U.S. while bridging the past with the future, and we are proud of the personal customer service we provide to designers.  Many of our designs are inspired by our own antique collections, our travels, nature and fashion.  This spring we've expanded our offerings from printed linens and residential wallpaper to Type 2 Commercial Grade wallpaper and outdoor printed textiles.
