Tribute...by Carnegie
A tribute is often defined as an acknowledgement of gratitude of esteem. Our new Anthology collection is a tribute to the founder of Carnegie, Robert Goldman. The classic constructions and overall ambiance of the 1940's era inspired a blend of textured and classic patterns with a modern edge.

Heritage, Icon, Lineage...           and Legacy
