In 2000, Sandy Chilewich introduced her signature woven vinyl fabrics to the market with a collection of placemats and floor mats. Joe Sultan, her husband and an architect by trade, could see the potential for this material and joined her in 2001 to launch woven vinyl flooring. Always focusing on the beauty and utility of the woven fabric, Chilewich has expanded their product offerings to include textiles for the wall, window and upholstery, thus giving designers freedom to use them in unexpected combinations and applications. Made in the USA and distributed globally, Chilewich continues its tireless design and process innovations, including new green initiatives.
