Robert Sanderson's profile

Commercial Fabrics and Wallcoverings

I love texture.  I love color.  Combine the two and you have the building blocks to create amazing things.  I was employed for a time with the largest commercial wallcoverings and vinyl manufacturer.  I started out managing the color lab,  creating and color matching all inks used in printing. Armed with an incredible and now honed eye for color, I moved into the design lab where I worked long hours creating new patterns, embossing and colorways for custom  wallpaper contracts.  During my tenure there I was able to work one on one with some of the top design firms in the world such as Wolf-Gordon, Thybony, 24 Seven, Surface Materials and Alton Atlantic.  Examples of my wallcoverings work may be found in most of the top-teir hotel chains, casinos, cruise ships, convention centers.  Some even graces the walls of the Presidential Suite in the Burj Al-Arab, the world's only 7 star hotel. Beyond wallcoverings I have also created custom vinyl material for all of 3 of the major US automakers, Harley Davidson motorcycle seats and Mossy Oak.
The Presidential Suite of the Burj Al- Arab, Dubai, UAE.  The colorway and pattern 'Moire' was developed for use exclusively in this award winning room (World's Leading Presidential Suite 2010, World Travel Awards) in the only 7-star hotel in the existence.
