Established in 1925, we have been creating designs for interiors, furnishings, textiles, events, and more that excite and delight. Founded by American design innovator Dorothy Draper, Dorothy Draper & Company, Inc. is owned and lead by Draper's protege Carleton Varney. Mr. Varney, one of America’s best known interior designers is President of Dorothy Draper & Co. Inc. He is associated with the restoration and decoration of countless hotels, resorts and residences all over the world. His design philosophy stresses the use of bright colors and the rejection of all that is impractical, uncomfortable and drab. In embracing this practice, he continues the tradition of Dorothy Draper by being associated with the imaginative use of vibrant colors, floral patterns and bold contrasts – a legacy that is reflected, not only in his interior designs, but also, most notably, in his fabric, color and pattern combinations .
