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 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.

Liora Manné: Custom Rugs, Wall Coverings, and Fabrics

7/29/2019

Richland Library - Rug

The Process

Liora Manné’s fabrics, wall coverings and rugs are created through her patented needle punch process. Polyester fibers are hand punched with a needle, much like the ancient art of felting, to create a design. These small hand needles are used to poke the fibers which bind them together; the needle punching pushes the fibers through each other making the fibers attach.

After the hand punching is complete, the fabric is put through a large needle punching machine which presses the fibers, flattening them and securing them together. No glue or sewing is used.

Once the fabric has been completely needle punched and passed out of the machine, it is coated with a binder for durability, and nano silver particles are added to make it antimicrobial. This process makes the product mildew free and stain resistant.

The Design & Ordering Process

Tell us about your contract, hospitality, residential, or healthcare project.

Send us (or bring in) your inspiration: a sketch, painting, photograph, etc. We can also look at designs already in the Liora Manné catalog.

Have a specific color scheme in mind? We can match any pantone, paint color, or fabric.

We'll work with the Liora Manné team in NYC who will then create a "strike-off" for review. The "strike-off" will be soft & lofty so that changes can be easily made before you sign off on the design.

The design and specs will go to the factory and you'll have your choice of a 60 or 90 day lead time.

We can't wait to see what you create!
