What ZAK+FOX does

ZAK+FOX is a privately held, founder-led luxury textile house founded in 2012 by Creative Director Zak Profera and headquartered at 235 Park Avenue South, New York City. The company designs, sources, and sells wovens, prints, velvets, plains, sheers, outdoor textiles, wallpapers, and handmade rugs (handwoven, hand-knotted, flatweave, soumak, jacquard) produced through a curated global network of master weavers, printers, and artisans. Products carry narrative-driven design IP drawn from world folklore, mythology, and natural forms, with copyright covering all ZAK+FOX designs. The portfolio includes over 100 named SKUs such as Madrugada, Miri, Kaminari, Hjalmar, Persimone, Syzygy, and Kadam, plus collaborations (Qualia graphic-novel collection; PRB Collection with a vintage furniture residency available through August 2027).

The business operates a strictly trade-exclusive go-to-market: no direct-to-consumer retail, with sales conducted through the NYC showroom (open to trade Mon-Fri 10am-6pm), a global official agents network, and a registered Trade Access program for interior designers and architects. Revenue mechanics are one-time project sales — minimum 2 yards on most in-stock items, 5-7 business day shipment on stocked fabrics, and made-to-order custom rugs requiring 50% deposits (with balance due pre-shipment and recoupable strike-off fees). Payment rails split at $10,000 (credit card/check/wire below; check/wire only above). Marketing is built around earned editorial (Architectural Digest feature on the founder's apartment), an official Instagram presence, and content-driven storytelling (the Qualia graphic novel), supplemented by an 11-50 employee operating base.

Economically, ZAK+FOX is a small, mature, founder-controlled specialty textile business with no disclosed institutional capital, no public financial filings, and an indicated 11-50 employee band. No revenue figure is publicly available. The principal customer segment is a single vertical — licensed interior designers and architects specifying for luxury residential and commercial interiors — creating both margin upside from project-scale order values and concentration risk from segment dependence.
