History
Chilewich began when designer Sandy Chilewich encountered the industrial process of extruding yarns, which creates continuous filaments. She used vinyl—durable, versatile, and easy to clean—to create woven placemats. The brand has since expanded to encompass five divisions: Retail, A+D, Wholesale, Interior Design, and Hospitality. Helmed by industry leader John McPhee, Chilewich continues to expand its offerings, which are available in 110 countries and range from rugs and placemats to wall textiles and upholstery. Products are designed at the New York City studio, led by VP of Design and Creative Kristin Harris, with a team including master weavers and designers. Woven textiles contain a minimum of 18% renewable vegetable content and are made entirely in the United States; the production facility in Chatsworth, Georgia manufactures approximately 40,000 placemats a week.
