Michael Devine - Fabric Designer


As an interior designer, I love to read about and see each season collections of fabric designers. These wonderful designers who create for us such beautiful fabrics many times goes unnoticed. The fabrics they create inspire us. Their fabrics set the mood of the room and invites us to enter and stay.

One of these fabric designers is Michael Devine. He left career as a party editor for HFN magazine to follow his passion. Michael looked for over two and a half years before finding the perfect store. In 2006, he found just the place. His 1840's storefront,located in Kinderhook, New York, serves as his work and living space.

Michael's collection of fabrics use a classic design with contemporary styling. The hand stenciled look of his fabrics is accomplished by hand screening. Excitedly, while so many fabrics are made in Europe or Asia, this process takes place in Brooklyn, New York.

His collections has been featured in magazines such as Gardening, Elle Decor, Traditional Homes and Country Living. These fabrics can be purchased through your local interior designer.
