We are thrilled to announce our new partnership with DEDON! We've been working hard to expand our outdoor offerings (year-round now), remodeled our space with new flooring and paint, and gave it a name & logo, OUTSIDE Hoff Miller. Our goal for this portion of our business is to provide unique, designer lines that you can't find just anywhere. Adding DEDON to our lineup is such a treat -- we may be slightly obsessed -- and we can't wait to help you specify their beautiful designs for your projects.

Pindler: Hearst Castle™ Collection

5/3/2021

Pindler is excited to present new additions to the Hearst Castle™ Collection. Inspired by a recent visit to the Castle, this exclusive collection includes wool and linen embroideries, plush velvets, and printed linen patterns constructed of the finest fibers and woven all over the world. This collection is a beautiful assortment of designs with the timeless elegance and lavishness of Hearst Castle™ showcased in a sophisticated and saturated color palette.

A portion of the proceeds from this collection goes to the preservation of the property, which is dedicated to preserving and interpreting the areas of historic architecture, landscapes, and decorative arts.

Q&A With Design Director Sarah Williamson

What was your creative process for developing the new Hearst Castle patterns?

For this latest Hearst Castle collection, our design team spent a week with the staff at the castle and toured all of the property and its extensive archives for fresh inspiration. We left with so many great ideas and took our time finding the right mills to partner with on these designs, making sure we translated the items or imagery into fabrics that showed the detail and beauty.

What was the most exciting part of creating these new designs?

I think the process of translating an existing design into fabric is so exciting. A great example would be 7128 – Terrazza. This design was inspired by a geometric wood carving on a desk found in a bedroom in the North Wing of Casa Grande. The carving was translated into a midscale design, which is embroidered on a faux silk ground, and could be used in any space – transitional, traditional, or contemporary.

THE SLIM AARONS AMERICAN ICON COLLECTION

With its new lineup, Santa Barbara Designs pays homage to the iconic work of Slim Aarons, one of the most famous photographers of the 20th century.

Slim Aarons loved to photograph "beautiful people in beautiful places, doing beautiful things."

For Outdoor 2021, Santa Barbara Designs re-imagines several stand-out umbrellas in "those beautiful places surrounded by those beautiful people" in our 2021 Slim Aarons American Icon Collection. The collection borrows from three of his most well-known images.

Hickory Chair: Everett by Skip Rumley

3/22/2021

For the past eight years, Skip Rumley has led the fashion and design aesthetic for Hickory Chair bringing such talents as Ray Booth, David Phoenix and Susan Hable to create collections for the 109-year-old company. In this role, Skip has been responsible for leading product innovation, merchandising the product assortment and creating fashion-leading collaborative collections with each of our design partners. During his storied career, Skip has forged a career engaged with some of the most prestigious luxury brands in the furniture industry where he has designed interiors for showrooms and galleries as well as designing furniture, lighting and accessories.

The Everett Collection is rooted in Skip’s twenty-year journey through the world of design. He has learned to ‘speak a lot of languages’ as style, fashion and form have evolved. He lived in a modern glass house and recently moved into a 1940’s Cape Cod home. He loves the tension that occurs when combining traditional and modern forms. He loves references to classic design and the excitement that is created when they are mixed with both soft organic silhouettes and architectural forms. He believes that interiors should be both masculine and feminine - when married together it creates a lovely dynamic.

We want our pieces to be a canvas that truly become functional art once our craftsmen build it with the specifications from the designer.

Pindler: 2021 Fabric Trends

1/27/2021

NEW YEAR, NEW SPACE

We’ve said goodbye to 2020, and now it’s time to say hello to a new year and new opportunities to get creative with exciting up-and-coming fabric trends. Pindler’s design team predicts that 2021 will bring bold colors, comforting environments and a focus on cleanability. As these trends shape the industry this year, vibrant hues, serene shades, soft textures and performance qualities will all be in high demand.

GO BOLD

The start of a new year is the perfect excuse to revamp existing spaces and make a bold statement. Vibrant colors like intense purples, saturated oranges and lively pinks are a great way to add a touch of fun. These invigorating shades energize any environment, whether you make a big commitment — like paint or upholstery — or add in small accessories for a pop of color.
