Our Approach

To understand our customer’s vision, we organize our
foundational process into three key steps.

Understanding

Understanding – We believe in having a full understanding of design intent in order to bring the vision to life. We look, not only at the design solution, but the space in which it will live and the brand it will represent. By absorbing the details and opening the door for collaboration, we come to understand the vision and can begin transforming it to reality.



Research

Research – Our subject matter experts brainstorm tactics to achieve design intent with an understanding of budget requirements. We call this “reality through research,” which involved testing, prototyping, and playing. Keeping in context with the vision, we determine material options and finishing techniques that will achieve the vision.



Engineering & Design

Engineering and design – In this step we begin to fulfill the design intent from an aesthetic and functional perspective, considering structural integrity and installation requirements.

THE BEST PLACE TO WORK

Fabric Images, Inc.® was built on the foundation of making it the best place to work. This spirit lends to the freedom of exploration and development on both a personal and professional level and fosters expert knowledge growth and building that is instrumental in bringing life to your vision.

This spirit of ingenuity has evolved to support the company mindset of “nothing is impossible, we just have to figure out a way”. This determined, can-do approach has led to the success of the seemingly impossible.
