New Collection Honors Carnegie’s Past While Embracing What Lies Ahead—A Tribute to the Rich Heritage of Textile Artistry Shaped by Human Hands and Machine Precision
Carnegie, a leader in sustainable textiles and acoustical management solutions for the commercial industry, pays homage to its 75 years of rich textile innovation by proudly announcing the Studio Collection. This collection reflects Carnegie’s legacy, drawing on the deep experience, craftsmanship, and forward-thinking design that have become hallmarks of the brand, shaping its journey along the way.
Since 1950, Carnegie has pushed the boundaries of what’s possible, proving time and again that high-performance solutions can also be elegant and environmentally sound. As the only B-Corp-certified textile manufacturer in the U.S. and proudly 100% PVC-free since day one, Carnegie leads the industry in service to its mission: to galvanize the design community to build a better future with materials that matter.
“This milestone is not just a marker of time; it’s a reflection of the decades-long partnerships we’ve cultivated with our mills, our partners, our clients, and the dedicated individuals within Carnegie whose passion and purpose have shaped our journey. These longtime collaborators are not just part of our team, they are changemakers who share our vision for creating a healthier, more equitable, sustainable future,” said Gordon Boggis, CEO of Carnegie. “The new products tell a story woven through time with techniques perfected over decades, merging traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge textile technology.”
The Studio Collection Includes:
Carnegie Xorel
Xorel has been infused with fresh contemporary appeal, featuring core classic wovens, intricate embroideries, and couture metallic embossing. Each design showcases Carnegie’s mastery of blending tradition with innovation. Half of the collection incorporates 91% biobased content, underscoring Carnegie’s commitment to sustainability. This series offers sophisticated, versatile styles that reinforce Carnegie’s leadership in both quality and eco-conscious design.
Upholstery
For designers aiming to craft unforgettable spaces, these fabrics are the ultimate choice. With a focus on intricate, dynamic pattern work and luxurious tactile sensations, the line offers a sensory experience like no other. Inspired by spaces where every detail speaks to indulgence and refinement, these textiles draw from the quiet luxury of boutique hotel lounges, the lush ambiance of high-end restaurants, and the timeless elegance of haute couture design. Perfect for hospitality-infused experiences, the collection embodies richness and sophistication in every thread.
Wood Look Vinyl Alternative Wallcoverings
Carnegie’s high-performance wallcoverings are designed to meet the strictest standards while prioritizing sustainability. Its new Wood Look wallcoverings, Briarwood, Sap, and Timber, combine the realistic appearance of wood with the exceptional performance of high-performance wallcoverings. Bleach-cleanable, scrubbable, inherently stain-resistant, and antimicrobial without added finishes, they set a new benchmark for design and functionality.
