So having come to the decision that upholstery fabric is where i see my designs working best, i began to scour the market at present to see where i could fit in. This wasn't an easy task, as finding information on designers that sell work to be used for mass sale in the upholstery sector was nigh on impossible.
It is clear that i want to be a designer of woven fabrics, but it seems that the market for individuals to sell such fabrics is none existent.
Therefore, i began to look more so at the companies that sell such fabrics. I mentioned earlier Laura Ashley's work, similar to this is Textiles company JAB Anstoetz. Specialist in the sale of woven fabrics for the home interiors market, JAB sell their products to be used for a wide range of outputs. Founded in Germany, the company is now one of the leaders in fabric houses, and is renowned worldwide for providing the very best furnishing and decorative fabrics, curtains, carpets and wall coverings. JAB sell products to over 80 countries around the world.
Serving both UK and International clients, JAB is a company that i find inspirational and exciting to watch.
