FRET Restoration

Fret Fabrics exists at the intersection of preservation and invention. With a long history rooted in meticulous restoration, the studio has been entrusted with the care of furnishings and interiors across some of the most significant estates and historic sites in the United States. Working in close dialogue with curators, architects, and conservators, Fret approaches each restoration as both a technical and cultural responsibility—honoring original materials, patterns, and methods with uncompromising precision.

Alongside this legacy of preservation, Fret Fabrics is equally committed to the creation of new, cutting-edge textiles. Drawing from historical reference while embracing contemporary techniques, the studio develops fabrics that feel both timeless and forward-looking. This dual practice—restoration and innovation—has led to longstanding collaborations with renowned sites such as Sunnylands, the Mark Twain House, and the White House, among many others.

Across past and present, Fret Fabrics continues to shape interiors through craftsmanship defined by rigor, restraint, and enduring design. A selection of these projects can be explored below.
