Last year textile designer Susan Hable decided to try something new. After spending several seasons working with her sister, Katharine, on an exclusive collection of fabrics and pillows for Hickory Chair, she had the urge to push herself further. “I thought, I have more to say,” Hable recalls. She reached out to the firm’s creative director, Skip Rumley, and her furniture line, Hable for Hickory Chair, was born.
A Texas native, Hable started out making jewelry and then formed the textile company Hable Construction with Katharine. The brand’s signature colorful fabrics, pillows, bags, and storage baskets put the siblings on the style map and led to the initial relationship with Hickory. “Until we came along they’d never tried fabrics,” Hable says, “but, like us, they’re very open-minded.”
