Lacefield Designs

Lacefield Designs, founded by Beth Lacefield, is an artisan design house and manufacturer based in Atlanta. The company creates textiles and pillows inspired by human spirit, nature, relics and culture. Since 1996, the Lacefield Design Team has layered life experiences into its work, hand crafting exquisitely detailed products that enrich living spaces. Design begins by hand and takes shape through various mediums: painting, pen and ink, block printing, paper and scissors. From design to printing, all textiles are made in the USA and feature the detailed artisanship of Lacefield’s design team. Details are a hallmark of Lacefield Designs. Every element and component of a Lacefield product are considered. Tassels, tapes and trims are hand designed and embellish the fronts and gussets of pillows. “Inspiration is found in everyday life.” – Beth Lacefield
