Gallery label
Donghia are leading American suppliers of modern high style furniture, textiles and wallcoverings. The textiles, designed by Sherri Donghia, are mostly very high quality weaves for use as fitted upholstery. Natural shades or deep warm colours are favoured and texture plays an important part in all the designs. Romeo Gigli designed a range for Donghia in 1993 and examples of his designs are included amongst the small swatches. The textiles are woven in the USA and in various parts of Europe - for example Italy, France and Ireland.
