Inspired wallcovering that goes beyond the surface

At Innovations, we craft inspired wallcoverings that reflect our passion for authentic design.

Our timeless designs enhance any environment, be it a private home or luxury hotel, and strike the perfect balance between beauty and purpose.

FAMILY HERITAGE

A rich history that spans two generations

Innovations is a family owned and operated company, now in our second generation under the leadership of President Alex Mayer. When Alex’s father Rudy Mayer founded Innovations in 1975, he was driven by a passion for design, an unwavering commitment to delivering the highest quality products, and a focus on fostering relationships with designers and clients. We have stayed true to these values since day one.

Our story

Rudy led Innovations from the bold patterns of the 1970s through the drama of foils and development of materials that we continue to develop, with new techniques, today. Rudy’s son and daughters grew up in the company, immersed in the culture, and Alex became president in 2023. The second generation brings new energy and a fresh point of view backed by a deep understanding and unwavering dedication to Rudy’s vision.
