Martha Stewart and Chilewich Debut Collection of American-Made Textiles for Tables, Floors, and More
NEW YORK -- Lifestyle authority Martha Stewart and design company Chilewich  announced the launch of a multifaceted collaboration, featuring a 20-piece collection of durable, distinctive, and easy-to-clean tabletop textiles (placemats, table runners, and coasters), flat-woven rugs, and tufted "shag” floor mats, all domestically made and suitable for indoor or outdoor use.

Blending tradition with modernity, the collection introduces five original weaves, two printed designs, and a signature color palette featuring versatile hues of Abalone, Burnt Coral, Flax, Sea, and Wheat. The pieces gain their robust yet refined quality from Chilewich’s phthalate-free TerraStrand yarns, which impart enduring resistance to staining, fading, mold, and mildew.

“I have used Chilewich products at home for more than twenty years. The exceptional design marries the artistry of weaving with superior functionality and indoor-outdoor versatility,” said Martha Stewart. “This beautiful, new collaborative collection explores treasured patterns and rich textures in my favorite colors. You'll love how easily they wipe clean and stay looking new through years of enjoyment. No ironing necessary!”

“We are delighted to partner with Martha Stewart and the Marquee Brands team,” said John McPhee, CEO of Chilewich. “Martha shares our commitment to the beauty and functionality that thoughtful design makes possible, and she has long championed the American craftsmanship that helps to set Chilewich products apart.”

The collection includes original weaves available as placemats, table runners, and rugs in stocked and custom sizes including:

Boxwood. A dobby weave that combines geometric precision with a lacy, openwork quality created by a loom-based pattern known as huck lace. Also available as felt-backed coasters.

Coverlet. Inspired by the bold geometry of patterns created by overshot weaving, a technique associated with coverlets found in American homes as early as the seventeenth century.
