"New York interior designer Malcolm James Kutner first fell for Fortuny 16 years ago, when he placed his initial order with the esteemed Venetian fabric house for one repeat of its Glicine (\"Wisteria\") pattern in red. Kutner was just 24 at the time, and since then he has used Fortuny fabrics in nearly all of his design projects. \"In a world that's easily preoccupied with fads and trends, I love Fortuny because it's fashionable while standing the test of time,\" Kutner says. \"So much of my work is about nuance and subtlety, and Fortuny suits it perfectly.\"\n\nNaturally Kutner was thrilled when the company's owners, Mickey and Maury Riad, approached him about designing a line of pillows using their fabrics. It was a match made in interiors heaven. After spending time delving into Fortuny's archives, Kutner created a dozen pillow designs that employ couture-dressmaking techniques and such innovative twists as using the selvage or the reverse side of a fabric for trim. (Each pillow is offered in multiple colorways.) The collection represents an airy update while maintaining the integrity of Fortuny's time-honored styles.\n\n\"All of Fortuny's fabrics have their own history, their own personality,\" Kutner says. \"I always say that my work is about telling people's stories with their spaces, and these fabrics are strong characters in a room.\"\n\nThe pillows are available to the trade only; 212-753-7153, fortuny.com."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
