What Inhabit does

Inhabit, Inc. is a privately held design and manufacturing company headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, founded in 2002 by Mike Tuttle and Jennifer Masten. The company designs, produces, and sells decorative and acoustic wall treatments — centered on a proprietary PET (polyethylene terephthalate) felt line made from recycled plastic bottles, with secondary product families in Bagasse-based paintable 3D wall panels, PET felt room dividers, acoustic pendant lighting, and a Modern Bedding collection. Core technical differentiators include ASTM E84 Class A fire ratings across the Harmony PET Felt line, OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certification for fiber content, and NRC acoustic performance ratings ranging from 0.32 (direct mount) to 0.80 (with 50mm cavity). Manufacturing is USA-based under a made-to-order model with 12-18 business day production lead times.

The company's revenue model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce through its Shopify-powered flagship site inhabitliving.com, with unit-level pricing across 25+ product SKUs and made-to-order customization (e.g., custom Pantone print overlay colors). A distinct Trade Program serves as a B2B specification channel offering exclusive pricing and services to architects, interior designers, and hospitality industry professionals. Distribution is direct (FedEx/UPS domestically, Global Shopex internationally) with no third-party retail intermediaries. Products have been featured on HGTV, ABC, and the Today Show and in publications including the New York Times and Dwell, and named enterprise design collaborations include Google, Apple, HP, WeWork, W Hotels, Hard Rock Hotels, and Welch's.

Inhabit owns US and foreign patents (filed and pending) covering its PET felt manufacturing processes and holds registered trademarks for the Inhabit, Harmony Felt, Wall Flats, and Corrulights brands. The company operates with a stated headcount of 11-50, is not venture- or PE-backed, and has not disclosed acquisition activity, external fundraising, or public financial statements.
