Hartmann & Forbes offers an expansive, industry-leading collection of natural, handwoven window designs that reinterpret nature's raw beauty. Their passion for handweaving, nature, and design evolution drives their collections.
The intricate process of hand-weaving, using warps and wefts, takes time but allows creative freedom to create unique, one-of-a-kind pieces recognized for hand-worked details. Each shade is meticulously finished by master American craftsmen to custom specifications, with high-quality componentry.
Hartmann & Forbes provides two weaving methods to meet varying design, lead time, and cost needs: Woven-to-Size and Tailored-to-Size, both guaranteeing unparalleled quality.
WOVEN-TO-SIZE, a true made-to-order process, involves weaving to window dimensions within a 1/2" tolerance, featuring a meticulous loom-finished edge. Though requiring more lead time, it delivers seamless widths and exquisite detail.
TAILORED-TO-SIZE, a convenient pre-woven approach, uses inventoried roll goods, precisely trimmed and tailored to size. This method offers a shorter lead time and lower price point but may have size limitations. Both approaches reflect Conrad's commitment to unique workmanship and quality in today's marketplace, positioning them as a somewhat more affordable yet equally prestigious alternative.
