Partner Profiles

The American Walnut collection by American Leather, originally introduced in 2014,
has been relaunched as the expanded American Walnut + Ash collection, marking a
renewal of American Leather's partnership with American Forests and support of its
mission to replenish forests and urban areas throughout the United States. For every
order from the American Walnut + Ash collection, American Leather will plant two trees through the American Forests partnership "NEWH has always been
on the forefront of providing essential development and information to its members about industry trends and best practices in the hospitality profession,
and American Leather is pleased to be aligned with the organization," says Frank Boardman, the company's vice president of hospitality.

Recent product launches from Brintons include Credence, a rich carpet collection inspired by exposed surfaces like
an aging painter's canvas, and it recently contributed nearly 6,000 square yards of custom Axminster carpet to the
reimagined boutique Kimpton Hotel Allegro in Chicago. Brintons also launched an informative YouTube video series
exploring how their carpets are made. "NEWH stands for education and leadership in hospitality and not just for
active professionals but for the upcoming stars of the next generation as well," says Johnny Massey, vice president
of operations. "Brintons is happy to be a part and support such an outstanding initiative."

Fabricut Contract has launched Upholstery Essentials, an upholstery textures collection featuring nine
patterns in a range of neutral color palettes with a soil- and stain-repellent finish and acrylic backing.
It also introduced a collection for S. Harris for Contract called Fusion and continues to add new fabrics
to its FR-One offering. "As a founding member of NEWH and continuing the legacy of the late Harvey
Nudelman, Fabricut Contract proudly provides support and participation at the national and local chapter levels," says vice president Matt DeShantz.

P/Kaufmann Contract's recent product launches include Material Geometry, inspired by geometry and
pattern play; a line of polyester sheer fabrics, the Sheer Value collection; and a digital print collection, Infinite
Imagery. It also partnered with Planet Hollywood, Wyndham Hamilton Park, and Wyndham SeaWatch on
total renovations. The team received several awards in 2016, including one from IIDA at HD Expo 2016 for
the Reveal collection of metallic gilded draperies, and a Platinum ADEX award for both its vinyl upholstery
collection, Urban Expedition, and its Naturally Sheer collection.

Sem Fim launched the Art+ collection, allowing designers to use images of any kind on their wood, glass, or metal
products, including fire-rated doors. The team is growing in the U.S. and abroad, having opened a Latin America
office in 2016 in Costa Rica. "[Through NEWH] we meet the most wonderful people, share our expertise, and learn
from others," says Sem Fim's Ani Ruiz Chang. "We are certain that this industry we love will continue to shine bright
because of the investment of time and resources that NEWH dedicates to our future hospitality leaders."
