PLAINVILLE — Last Saturday, the Wall Street Journal featured the Plainville furnishing and textile manufacturing company, Dessin Fournir Cos., in an article regarding a growing trend for large-scale floral decor by the nation’s top interior designers. The WSJ article credited Dessin Fournir’s Rose Cumming collection for being ahead of the trend with classic overscale designs that have remained in vogue for nearly 100 years.

According to Dessin Fournir co-founder and CEO Chuck Comeau, younger generations who came of age in a time of minimalism and stark modernism are particularly responding to floral prints.

Comeau recognized the timeless elegance of the historic Rose Cumming collection in 2005, when he acquired the New York firm and added it the Dessin Fournir family of companies. As the principal designer, Comeau restored the collection to its original glory. He discovered lost archival documents created by Rose’s own hand and reintroduced them to the collection. He also expanded the collection by introducing new prints that celebrate Rose’s renowned sense of color and scale.

To further preserve the collection and Rose’s remarkable story as one of the industry’s grand dames, Dessin Fournir Cos. joined with Rizzoli Publishing and former Architectural Digest editor Jeffrey Simpson to publish a book titled, “Rose Cumming Design Inspiration.”

With corporate headquarters in Plainville, Dessin Fournir competes globally via 12 national showrooms and two international showrooms providing luxury goods for the interior design industry.
