It all started with true love, a garage office and a secondhand color copier.

Chris and Walter Chapin met in college studying economics together. While savvy about numbers and finance, they each had their own hidden passions. Walter loved international travel and adventure, while Chris was enamored with fabrics and yarn. On their first date, Chris and Walter discovered they shared an enthusiasm for product design after discussing the color, shape and craftsmanship of a wine glass at their table for two. A partnership dedicated to form, beauty and function was born.

After getting married and moving to Concord, New Hampshire, Chris and Walter decided to live their mutual dream: to start their own business designing casual, fun rugs. Company C was founded in 1994 in a garage behind Chris and Walter’s house. While Chris was creating bold designs, Walter was busy forging positive relationships with textile producers and customers alike.

Fourteen years later, Company C is now a successful home furnishings business that ships colorful products to more than 1,000 select stores worldwide. Company C prides itself on being a design studio that creates intriguing patterns infused with color. As a leader of color trends and modern patterns, Company C introduces new products seasonally to keep things fresh and fashionable.

While Walter may now be flying overseas to encourage environmentally and socially responsible production practices, he still believes in exceeding customer expectations regarding service and quality. Chris still can’t get enough of gorgeous fabrics, and continues to collaborate with the entire Company C design team to create innovative textiles full of mystique and texture. The garage office was abandoned long ago, but Company C is pleased to announce the opening of its third store dedicated to pleasurable shopping and colorful living.

"Our latest catalog is the culmination of years of hard work and passion for color and design. We hope Company C’s new products inspire you to live a happier, more colorful life."
