Himatsingka, a vertically integrated Home Textile giant, leads the industry in design, development, and manufacturing of Home Textile products. As a group, they operate amongst the largest capacities in the world for upholstery fabrics, drapery fabrics, and bed linen products. Divatex asked Specht Studio to collaborate with them on a small line of duvet covers and decorative pillows. As we speak they are busy with creating the prototypes to present to their retailers (Bloomingdale's and Macy's) at the end of march 2015.
