ROMO

BRAND TO KNOW

Romo was established by Robert Mould in 1902 as a small furniture producer in Nottinghamshire. By the 1930s, however, the company’s main focus had shifted to furnishing fabrics, and in the 1980s the addition of an in-house studio transformed Romo into the design-led fabric and wallpaper brand it is today. Still based in Kirkby-in-ashfield, the business now employs 250 people in the creation and marketing of furnishing and upholstery fabrics, wallcoverings and trimmings for residential and commercial interiors. There are six design houses under the Romo umbrella: Romo, Black Edition, Mark Alexander, Kirkby Design, Villa Nova and Zinc Textile.
