Sisters Susan Hable Smith and Katharine Hable founded the NY-based textile company Hable Construction in 2009. Named after their Texan great-grandfather’s 20th century road construction business, they now pave roads of a different sort as leaders in textile design while expanding their studio to create furniture and decorative accessories for the home.
Ideas are distilled from travel and life adventures to simple forms with integrity and most of all thoughtfulness.
This isn’t just a story about the evolution of a visionary furniture collection. Its about two sisters with Texas roots, designing and producing handsome, well-made products in the USA for decades. It’s about a creative and inspired team working on a grassy hill in Athens, Georgia. It’s about passion and art and a love of gardens, seasons, design and color.
With a faithful dedication to domestic manufacturing, Hable designs are thoughtfully designed for a North Carolina mill producing exclusive textiles and for Hickory Chair craftsman creating the upholstery and wood products.
World travel, cross-cultural inspiration, contemporary art, and antique modernist furniture contribute to the aesthetic of this collection. The result? New forms that are sophisticated, intellectual, thoughtful, timely and timeless.
RETIRED
The new collection settles in smartly with the existing collection. Hable is a designer of singular vision and daring choices not through oplence but a quiet sense of space. This emotional experience is felt in each curve and angle of these new pieces.
This is a love story from start to finish.
