Designtex is the leading company in the design and manufacturing of applied materials for the built environment.
We design and manufacture applied materials for the built environment. For over sixty years, we have explored how materials can improve the human experience; we call this material intelligence.
Our mission is to use design materials to enable creativity, engage the senses and enhance our experience of our surroundings. We look for the connections between craft and industry, process and product, human behavior and environmental impact to inform each of our endeavors.

Open image tooltipDesigntex Material Health and Transparency
Designtex recognizes the importance of producing materials that are healthy for people and the planet. All products do not contain PFAS, which is known as a ‘forever chemical,’ as it breaks down very slowly and can ‘bioaccumulate’ in people, animals, and the environment over time. Designtex is committed to ongoing material improvements and ingredient transparency.
