Since Schumacher was founded in 1889, this family-owned company has been synonymous with style, taste and innovation. Frederic Schumacher opened in New York, showcasing the most exquisite fabrics on offer from Europe. He was the first to partner with the finest names in design; fashion designer Paul Poiret was followed by Elsa Schiaparelli, Dorothy Draper, Cecil Beaton, Josef Frank, Frank Lloyd Wright and many more visionaries. Schumacher's storied history tells how Jackie Kennedy papered the White House Blue Room walls in a Schumacher lampas weave, whilst Richard Burton and Mick Jagger both posed with its patterns.
After 132 years, this iconic American design house has opened its doors in the UK, supported by a range of collaborators and UK-based creatives including Veere Grenney, Neisha Crosland, Molly Mahon and A Rum Fellow. It keeps its heritage fresh with new fabric and wallcovering collections introduced each month. Collections are diverse in character but united by a respect for classicism, an eye for the cutting edge, and an unparalleled level of quality. A passion for luxury and an unwavering commitment to beauty are woven into everything it does.
