Round Ball Pillow with Velvet Tiger Fabric, Gold Vinyl and Green Cotton

Schumacher is an esteemed American textile company known for its fine pillows, wallpaper and carpets. The family-owned business is still managed by its founder’s descendants. While committed to its history and traditions, the brand has evolved to maintain its vaulted status for more than 130 years.

Schumacher was established in 1889 in New York by Frederic Schumacher, who was born in France and moved to America that same year. By 1898, the Gilded Age elite were patrons of the company’s exquisite imported European fabrics. Schumacher became one of the first to produce luxury textiles in America and its fabrics began appearing in upscale properties like the Waldorf-Astoria hotel.

Schumacher grew in prestige in the early 20th century due to its partnerships with top designers such as Josef Frank and Dorothy Draper. Its textiles graced the White House and captured the attention of leading decorators, including Edith Wharton and Elsie de Wolfe.

In the 1920s, Schumacher was a favorite at Mar-a-Lago estates and Newport’s ritzy summer cottages. In the 1930s, French fashion designer Paul Poiret helped usher in the company’s Art Deco era. Schumacher textiles could be found on the sets of Hollywood films, most notably the Hydrangea Drape wallpaper in Gone with the Wind.

After World War II, Schumacher began a decades-long partnership with designer Vera Neumann, whose scarves were worn by the likes of Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly. In 1955, legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright developed a textile line with Schumacher. Known as the Taliesin line, it was the first commercial venture of the architect’s career.

In 2011, Andrew and Stephen Puschel became the fifth generation of Schumacher’s descendants to join the family business. The company continues to exemplify a spirit of innovation by partnering with exciting modern designers like Miles Redd, Mary McDonald, David Kaihoi, Veere Grenney and David Oliver. Under the creative direction of Dara Caponigro, Schumacher has also partnered with the biannual luxury interiors magazine Cabana.

The Tailored Home reinvents traditional furniture designs with playful upholstery and energetic colors. Venezuelan-born furniture designer Jhon Ortiz and his life and business partner, Scott Falciglia, cofounded The Tailored Home to make custom furniture for a changing society. 

A veteran of retail and the textile industry, Oritz studied design in Paris, Milan and Connecticut at Fairfield University. Falciglia graduated with a degree in international business from Fairfield University. He met Ortiz in 2012 after 12 years in finance. 

Combining their talents, the pair initially established The Tailored Home in a basement workshop in Greenwich, Connecticut, in 2014. They share responsibilities for design and management to create a company as dynamic and adaptable as their design philosophy. 

From the beginning, they have focused on contemporary needs for furnishings, considering how people frequently move and reinvent themselves through new careers and living locations. The Tailored Room is all about individuality, whether that is a customized ottoman or a funky sofa right off the showroom floor. As embodied by these pieces, change is something to intentionally seek out, embrace and experience as a way to cultivate growth. 

Featured in magazines and other media, The Tailored Home continues to draw attention for its distinctly vibrant, quality furniture.
