Leveraging Designers Guild’s time-tested strengths and its unparalleled working understanding of the design and manufacturing processes will be a tremendous asset to any potential partner.

“Over the years we have steadily built our company and the Designers Guild brand. Although we are now a much larger company, my initial goal has not changed – to create a way of life! My hope is that through an array of product partnerships that we [Designers Guild] will be a destination where people can buy one small, beautiful thing or have their whole house decorated. With this in mind, we are delighted to be working with Kerry Glasser to develop strategic alliances and to expand upon Designers Guild’s vision and existing brand momentum,” states Tricia Guild and Simon Jeffreys, Chief Executive.
