No stranger to the game or to the particular venue, Robert Allen—certainly one of the leading fabric houses in interior design—prides itself on a “creative tradition of exploring the directional trends of color and its subtle nuances.” This exploration sends them far and wide along said color spectrum, the panorama of “tourmaline, indigo, and mulberry” alone accounting for 56 different styles and shades. But beyond the tremendous variety (and this sampling barely scratches the surface), the tendency for “creative exploration” has them infiltrating multiple aspects of the A & D Market.
