The Bunny Williams Fabric Collection
Lee Jofa is pleased to announce the highly anticipated Bunny Williams fabric collection. Williams, in her first textile collection, shares her modern vision and appreciation for gracious Southern living through beautifully rendered prints, weaves and embroideries in a charming color palette.
Comprised of designs that resonate with Williams’ classic yet fresh sense of style, the collection offers cohesive patterns in soft, harmonized colors with endless design possibilities. Williams drew inspiration from her personal collection of treasured textiles to create styles that seamlessly transition from elegant to casual interiors.
“There is a subtlety to this fabric collection,” said Williams. “I thought of this collection in the same way I think about putting together a scheme for a room. There is color, but it is not too strong. All the prints have stripes and solids that work with them to make interesting combinations.”
“Throughout my career, I’ve continually admired Bunny’s singular style for creating wonderful interiors for her clients and herself,” said Stephen Elrod, executive vice president and creative director for Lee Jofa and Brunschwig & Fils. “They layer the best of various design periods in a luxurious but comfortable manner, totally reflective of Bunny’s superb eye and graciousness. It’s been a delight for us to collaborate with her and bring her unique vision for exquisite fabrics to fruition.”
Feminine designs like stylized roses, modern toile, and petite patterns mix with fresh contemporary designs to deliver timeless rooms. Raspberry, lavender, soft blue, and peach color stories provide a broad spectrum of versatility.
“Fabrics set the tone for a room, both in color and texture. A project could be a beach house, a formal city living room, a modern apartment overlooking Central Park and each require fabrics that suit that project,” said Williams.

Gold and Bronze
Metallics continue to be a hot style trend in fashion and now are firmly planted in home furnishings through accent pieces and accessories. We see this color trend in fabrics moving toward a younger aesthetic with more defined shades of gold and bronze.
Incorporate this trend for a touch of glam with fabrics and trimmings from Fabricut and Trend’s latest collections.
 
Fabricut:
Vega Metallic – Bronze (Vignettes Vol. XIII): Embroidered with bronze metallic yarn, this contemporary wave stripe is a great example of both the trend toward bronze and the trend toward organic shapes.
Studded Squares – Linen Gold (Modern Nuances): Inspired by fashion accessories, modern studded squares are heat-adhered to a rich textural blend with just the right amount of linen.
Glint – Gold (Cord Library): A small metallic cord elegantly refined in both its scale and gold color.
Trend:
03344 – Bronze (Contemporary Faux Leather): Beautifully, bronzed faux leather that is perfect for both upholstery and headboards. This shade of bronze works well with contemporary, transitional and global interiors.
Fabricut Decorative Drapery Hardware:
Gold Brass 36 (Classic Minimalism): Like a delicate gold necklace, the sleek profile of this hardware color adds a hint of sophistication; coordinates perfectly with gold accessories for the home.

Stroheim Celebrates 150 Years: 1865-2015
Reflecting on the past and looking to the future
Fabricut Inc. celebrates Stroheim’s sesquicentennial as one of the most respected fabric houses in the decorating world. A leading resource for exquisite, fine-quality fabrics, wallcoverings and trimmings for the most discerning clientele, Stroheim’s 150th anniversary is a major milestone in our industry as its history and future continue to influence the interior design community.
“It’s exciting to be part of such a distinguished and venerable brand as Stroheim,†says David Klaristenfeld, vice president of sales for Fabricut Inc. “Not many companies are in business for 50 years and to be celebrating 150 is a rare, wonderful experience.â€
In early 1865, a young Julius Stroheim opened a business in Lower Manhattan to supply decorative fabrics to upholsterers and furniture makers. The decades after the Civil War ushered in major economic expansion, the Industrial Revolution had created thousands of new jobs and the taste of the Victorian Age was for opulence; it was a good time to open a fabric business. Huge mansions built by the wealthy fostered demand for luxury fabrics to cover over-stuffed furniture and elaborate drapery treatments were in vogue. “Too much it not enough†was the decorating premise of the time.

The decorating world has transformed in the last 150 years but Stroheim has stayed true to its founding design principles: a classical aesthetic that evolves with changing styles but is rooted in traditional design. With a breathtaking range of fabrics, trimmings and wallcoverings, Stroheim enhances interiors created by designers domestically and abroad. Resourcing products from the finest textile, trimming and wallcovering producers around the world, the Stroheim collection features exclusive designs manufactured in a variety of quality fibers.

“With an eye to the ever changing interior marketplace, Stroheim continues to evolve stylistically while always reflecting the brand’s time-honored aesthetic,†adds Nina Butkin, vice president of design for Fabricut Inc.
In May of 2010, third-generation and employee-owned Fabricut Inc. acquired Stroheim from JAB Anestoetz, another multi-generation family business which joined forces with Stroheim in 1982 to broaden its American distribution channels. Today, Stroheim is part of Fabricut’s 10 corporate showrooms and over 60 agent showrooms worldwide, and an outside sales force that shares the brand’s story every day with designers and decorators. Beyond the years – and many yards of fabrics, trimmings and wallcoverings – Fabricut continues to maintain a level of service, which Stroheim began 150 years ago, that remains an integral part of the business.

“When Fabricut acquired Stroheim in 2010, we had been looking to increase our profile in the high-end market,†says David Finer, chief executive officer of Fabricut Inc. “Over the last five years, the Stroheim name and respected reputation has helped grow our company footprint in the luxury home furnishings marketplace. We continue to build upon the history, tradition and legacy the Stroheim family established 150 years ago and introduce the next generation of designers to this prestigious brand.â€
