Clarence House
Clarence House is considered the foremost style-setter in the
decorative fabric industry and is the first choice of many of the
world's top interior designers.
The company was founded in 1961 by New York interior designer
Robin Roberts on the premise that design integrity was a goal that
could be achieved through uncompromising artistry and technical
quality. Eventually, Clarence House became involved in every aspect of
the creative process, with its own design studio and in-house art
director Kazumi Yoshida. Yoshida, with a vast network of European mills
and textile archives at his disposal, still controls the evolution of
each design from the initial concept to the finished product.
Through the years, Clarence House has supplied the furnishing
fabrics for pre-eminent museums and countless historic houses and has
been consistently featured in every important design and architectural
magazine. Famous for its handscreen printing of fabrics and wallpapers,
high-style textures and hand-loomed brocades, Clarence House also
offers the highest quality velvets, damasks, silks, cottons, linens,
sheers, trimmings and leathers.
Products include:
Printed Fabrics
Clarence House is known worldwide for its prints. Many patterns
are inspired by the finest textile designs from the 17th, 18th and 19th
centuries and the first half of the 20th century.
Woven Textures
Clarence House offers luxurious velvets, high-style jacquards,
tapestries, boucles, chenilles, horsehairs, matelasses, textured plains
and stripes, wools, plaids and checks. Many meet the stringent
requirements of the contract and hospitality market, and most are
adaptable to the special needs of contract designers.
Wallpapers
Clarence House offers a vast collection of European and domestic
wallpapers, which include floral prints, Chinoiserie, damask patterns,
toile de jouy, architectural motifs, juveniles, novelty designs,

and suedes in the world. Produced in Italy and aniline-dyed, they are

Sheers
Clarence House provides an extensive selection of sheers,
casements and laces. Woven in silk, cotton, linen, wool and blends
thereof, a full range of designs are offered. Many are woven extra wide
to avoid seaming. Handmade laces are an integral part of the collection
