Based in Houston, Tribute Goods is a luxury Italian linen company that combines art and home decor. Founder/interior designer Karen Pulaski collaborates with fine artists, graphic designers, and linen purveyors to create original artwork, which is then evolved into exclusive linen collections through digital printing. The result is a canvas of the finest Italian textiles with breathtaking art and meaningful themes.
“The collaboration with artists to create printed collections in Italy is at times quite challenging,” Karen says. “But, it is always worth the extra effort. Seeing the hand of the artist expressed on each product makes it feel like original art for the bed. Taking everyday items and making them special and sentimental feels great to me.”
It’s obvious that others share her sentiment as Tribute Goods has been honored with NY Now’s “Best New Product” award, Paper City’s “Best in Product Design,” a Neiman Marcus Spring Home Catalog cover and featured editorials in Traditional Home, Luxe Interiors & Design and Modern Luxury. This will be Karen’s first time showcasing her work at Market Hill.
“I'm new to the Round Top experience,” she says. “My dear friend Stacy Graubart [of The Select Pick] has been sharing her experiences with me for a while, and has been kind enough to host me in her beautiful space. I want to bring joy and optimism into a room, especially now with our world in such a state. Color and whimsy are so uplifting to the spirit. I hope to bring that happiness to others through our colorful and playful collections.”
“Our customers love to collect and carefully select all their belongings ... They are looking for something unique, beautiful and well made. They also love a story behind what they are buying.”
What Karen has in store for Market Hill includes “our newest bedding collection ‘Magnolia.’ A rich floral print produced from a commissioned oil painting and paired with a water colored border motif, fabricated in Italy and made from the finest Italian woven Egyptian cotton sateen.” She is also bringing “a collection of rare vintage Hermès silk pillows by Kermit Oliver, the only American artist ever chosen by Hermès to collaborate on designs; a group of artisanal lamps hand painted by artist Liz Marsh; and a few of the uber chic pieces from Haas Brothers for L'Objet.”
