Our Philosophy

Carnegie is owned by the same family that founded it in 1950. While the industry has changed a great deal since then, our principles have not. We still believe there are no substitutes for innovation, service and integrity. To all of us here, creating textiles means much more than weaving yarn into fabrics.

Everyone at Carnegie understands that our clients' satisfaction is our first priority.  Many of our employees have worked here for more than 10 years.  For our clients, this means people who you can reach and talk to, people whose advice you can count on, people who take your concerns seriously.  This holds true throughout the company from our management team through our design staff to our shipping department.


Our philosophy embodies these simple, yet spirited goals:

  • Design textiles/wallcovering that reflect the creative spirit of the world's leading interior designers and architects.
  • Develop and manufacture textiles that exceed the demands of today's facility managers.
  • Offer one of the broadest and highest quality textile product palettes.
  • Understand our clients and service their needs with integrity.
  • Exceed legally required standards in regard to ecology and social issues.
  • Educate our clients and specifiers through education workshops and industry events.
  • Foster the next generation's design talents through educational programs.
  • Have fun while doing all of the above!
