zina studios

Zina Studios Inc. is a historic art and design studio that creates and manufactures exclusive hand screen printed custom fabrics, wallcoverings and borders. All of our fabrics are printed to order, in any color and on any ground the client wishes. We design and produce our own patterns, and also develop custom patterns as requested by clients. In 2016, the Studio teamed with Holland and Sherry Interiors for a curated collection of wallpapers, which is available through all Holland and Sherry showrooms. In addition, we have many years of historic reproduction experience.

Over the years the Studio has supplied such interior design legends as Elisabeth Draper, Elsie de Wolfe, Nancy McClelland, William Pahlmann, Bob Lenox, Jessup, Sister Parish, and Albert Hadley. The Studio spent many years as a trusted source for Sister Parish and Albert Hadley.

Our Chinese pattern was used by Sister Parish in the bedroom of Mrs. Thomas Jefferson Coolidge, as seen in the book “The Finest Rooms by America’s Greatest Decorators” by Katharine Tweed. We also designed, developed and supplied many of the patterns that became closely associated with Sister and Albert, including Astor Stripe and the iconic Tree of Life that was used in Mrs. Astor’s famous “Money Room”. Please visit our Designs page to see many of the patterns created with Albert Hadley during our years of collaboration. We are proud to have an extensive collection of Mr. Hadley’s designs and his pattern archive.

Zina's fabrics and wallcoverings have been used in the décor of the homes of the Vanderbilts, Astors, Mellons, Rockefellers, Coolidge and Ford families, as well as the Octagon House, the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, D.C., the Detroit Museum of Art, the Reynolds Foundation Museum in Winston-Salem, NC, and many more. Zina Studios always gives extreme care and attention to the composition of their orders for the most discriminating clientele in the US.

In addition to work for top decorators, Zina Studios has been very involved in reproductions commissioned by preservation societies. That work has included the Camron Stanford House in Oakland, CA. There, we used the Passion Flower design, which led to the discovery that it was the original paper in Mrs. Wetmore's bedroom in Chateau-Sur-Mer, Newport, RI. Zina Studios was commissioned to reproduce these papers, followed by many others. It was also discovered that Miss Edith Wetmore was an early client of Zina's and often ordered fabrics and borders. It was quite a surprise to see several of Zina Studios own designs in various rooms in Newport. See: Wallpapers for Historic Buildings, Richard Nylander, 2nd Edition.

Since then, Zina Studios has reproduced papers and fabrics for other Newport mansions, including Kingscote and the Elms; for the Nightingale-Brown House in Providence, RI; the Genesee County Hamilton House Museum; Sleepy Hollow's Washington Irving House; Belle Meade Plantation, Nashville, TN; The Hillwood Museum, Washington D.C.; The Crawford-Clarkson House in Columbia, SC; and the Longfellow House, Cambridge, MA.

The quality of the workmanship and faithfulness to the original documents has given Zina Studios a high reputation in the field of restoration and the demand for their expertise continues to this day.

Loving the rich greens and blues selected by our client for this printing of “Rose Nicholas” on polished cotton - a stunning combination! Available to print in any colors you choose, fabric or wallpaper. Design ©️ Zina Studios, Inc.

With a masterful mix of color, pattern and texture @lucydoswellinteriors created a stunning living room in this NYC townhouse…. and we are thrilled to have our “Volutes” hand printed wallpaper be a player in all of this beauty. Check out the newest issue of @verandamag to see more of this project, and visit @hollandandsherryinteriors for your own “Volutes”.

The client had the Julian Opie prints in storage for years waiting for their moment; they feel right at home here. I asked @thelacquercompany to paint the gold motifs on the coffee table which were based on a Moorish floor tile pattern to keep it whimsical and fun.

Grass cloth gives added texture to this recent printing of our “Tree of Life” - and we love the soft blue grey color our client selected. We can print on a wide range of grounds from our stock, or you can supply your own - whatever you wish we make it happen. “Tree of Life” is a classic from our Albert Hadley archives.

Starting the first day of spring with a strike off of our “Chinese Seals” in shades of lavender. The wavy lines balance the graphic geometric composition. Available printed in any colors you wish, fabric or wallpaper! Design ©️ Zina Studios, Inc.

Run don’t walk to catch the last weekend of @kbshowhouse in Palm Beach, and see this beautiful terrace by the divine @honeycollinsinteriors . Honey brought the spirit of Florida to her space with our custom colored “See Through” and “Tree of Life” fabrics - and is bringing back the tête-à-tête! Visit to see this cheerful space in person and support Kips Bay! #Repost @honeycollinsinteriors with @use.repost ・・・ Yesterday I gave you my neutral side of the room- so today is obviously my colorful side! The painting by Gabriel Goddard from @artiolifindlay sets the scene with its bursts of color and movement. I covered a console table with this wonderful fabric from @zinastudios that we custom colored. Two absolutely magnificent shell hurricanes by @wexlerrobichaux and @palmbeachhomestyle flank each end. The tete et tete covered in more fabulous @zinastudios is the perfect spot to admire the water and the vignette. Please come visit the @kbshowhouse to see this and all the other fabulous designers rooms!

It’s #wallpaperwednesday with a new printing of our “Dosty” on grass cloth. The hundreds of brushstrokes take on new interest when printed on this great textural ground. From our Albert Hadley group of patterns, “Dosty” remains an all time classic! Design ©️ Zina Studios, Inc.

Zig zagging through the week with our “Vogue” wallpaper. Graphic and bold, it will add a bit of fun and drama to any room. Also available in fabric, any print color you choose. Design ©️ Zina Studios, Inc.

Finishing off a printing of “Pansy Bouquet” panel on linen. A combination of scattered flowers and bouquet clusters give this pattern a nice mix of density. And you get to choose how much of each you prefer — for example a random mix, or bouquets just at the bottom of long curtain panels - our custom capabilities let you make the call and design for your needs!

Starting the week with a printing of “Eugenie Stripe” on kraft paper. Printed in white it is timeless yet fresh and remains a classic from our Albert Hadley group of patterns. Design ©️ Zina Studios, Inc.
