Innovations 50th Anniversary

Innovations turns 50 this year. The luxury wallcovering company, founded in 1975, will celebrate this incredible milestone throughout the year at all major industry events, including NYCxDESIGN in their showroom at the D&D Building. The brand has adopted an anniversary logo and will release special promotional items to tell their story.

“I started my company because, as a designer, the products I needed weren’t available in the market,” said Rudy Mayer, founder of Innovations. “It’s incredible how far we’ve come; I’m proud to see my children involved in the company and
building on what I started.”

As part of the fiftieth anniversary celebration, Innovations is investing in the future. The son of founder Rudy Mayer, Alex Mayer, is making his mark with company-wide improvements like a new operating system, new website, and redesigned showrooms to reestablish and reposition the brand for the next fifty years.

“Rudy [my father] named his company ‘Innovations’ for a reason,” said President Alex Mayer, representing the second generation of leadership. “We are a design-driven company. We are committed to developing new materials and techniques—but also to the designer experience. The long-term investments we’re making are ultimately for our clients, for designers.”
