BETHPAGE, N.Y. — Designer and television personality Thom Filicia has signed on to produce a collection of fabrics for Kravet for its to-the-trade home furnishings, including furniture, fabric, wall coverings, trimmings, carpet and accessories.

These pillows are covered in the new line of fabrics produced for Kravet by Tom Felicia.

The collection is available in Kravet showrooms in North America, the company said.

Filicia is known for richly layered textures and colors for a lived-in yet sophisticated look. He said the Kravet collection introduces a style that is "fresh, modern and accessible and empowers consumers to express their unique personalities through design."

It features prints and weaves in patterns and colors such as yellow, grey, blue, orange and natural.

"I chose to partner with Kravet for this collection because they really allowed me to convey my point of view and design aesthetic," said Filicia. "Kravet fabrics are known for their quality, but more importantly for being beautiful and accessible, and that was really important to me."

Filicia is best known for his design work for clients such as Jennifer Lopez and the W Hotel chain, as well his roles as a producer and designer on television shows including "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," "Dress My Nest" and "Tacky House."
