F. Schumacher Fabrics was founded in 1889 in New York City. Since its very beginning it has been one of the most important fabric designers in the market. Some of the most important hotels in New York City have their interiors adorned with F. Schumacher fabrics, as well as some of the oldest and most luxurious homes in the city. Their wall coverings are also well known and are a staple of the interiors of many of the most important structures in Washington D.C. Some of these include the Capitol Building, the chambers of the United States Senate, and the Smithsonian Museum. Never to rely solely on their very respectable history, today F. Schumacher Fabrics continues innovating with ideas for the modern world. Some of these, like making sure that their manufacturing processes are as environmentally friendly as possible, have made them very well known among those concerned with the environment.
