Chilewich
When designer Sandy Chilewich came upon the industrial process of extruding yarns, which allows for the creation of continuous filaments, she saw pure potential. She seized upon vinyl—durable, versatile, and easy to clean—to create woven placemats that changed the way the world sets the table. Available in 110 countries, these products push the boundaries of form and function with their innovative weaves, distinctive colors, and easy maintenance in a large range of iterations, from rugs and placemats, to wall textiles to upholstery and beyond. At home in both residential and commercial spaces around the world, Chilewich products are designed at our New York City studio. The design team includes master weavers and designers who develop and refine innovative patterns and multi-tonal colors for collections that are renewed seasonally. The desire for artistic expression is balanced by a commitment to reaching a broad audience, and to creating products that retain their beauty and functionality over decades of daily use. Containing a minimum of 18% renewable vegetable content, Chilewich woven textiles are made entirely in the United States. The Chilewich production facility in Chatsworth, Georgia, manufactures approximately 40,000 placemats a week.
