Jack Lenor Larsen founded his design house Larsen, in 1951 following his early career as a professional weaver after studying fabrics in LA.

Larsen draws his inspiration from traditional textile techniques found all over the world and adapts them to modern weaving techniques. He researches and documents finely detailed hand-woven fabrics in all places, looking into the inventive design and textures used in each case.

Larsen’s thorough design research, coupled with his modern approach to creating fabrics has earned his firm a widely acclaimed reputation. The collections span from wall coverings to fabrics with unique weaves, beautiful, silks, leathers, unique sheers, trimmings and velvets.
