Welcome to the heart of Corteza’s trade and designer program — a space where intention meets material, and every detail is woven with care. Here, the focus is not on speed or volume, but on the quiet confidence that comes from working with a material as storied and versatile as raffia. This is where your vision meets a curated collection, thoughtfully selected and prepared for the hands that will shape them into spaces of meaning.
Corteza’s program is designed for professionals who understand the value of material depth and precision. This includes designers, architects, and contractors who work with a discerning eye and a commitment to quality. Whether you’re crafting a private residence, a public space, or a project that demands a unique touch, our program is tailored to those who seek collaboration over convenience. We welcome those who approach their work with the same care we bring to every roll of raffia.
Our samples are not just swatches — they are invitations to explore. Each memo sample is carefully prepared to reflect the character of the raffia, from its natural sheen to its subtle variations. These samples are dispatched directly to your studio or office, ensuring you can study the material in the light of your own environment. Requests are handled with attention, and we encourage you to reach out with specific needs or questions. The goal is to provide clarity, not just color.
Lead times are determined by the complexity of the order and the care required to prepare each piece. While we cannot promise haste, we can assure you that every step is taken with the intention of delivering a product that aligns with your expectations. For custom or large-volume orders, we work closely with you to outline timelines that respect both your schedule and the integrity of the material. This is a process that values patience as much as precision.
Corteza offers NET-30 terms to qualified professionals, reflecting our trust in the relationships we build. This arrangement is available to those who have demonstrated a commitment to working with care and integrity. We believe that trust is the foundation of any collaboration, and our terms are designed to support your workflow without compromising the quality of the product or the experience of working with us.
Custom-print options are available for those who seek a unique expression. We work with you to explore possibilities that respect the inherent qualities of raffia while allowing for creative interpretation. This is not a process of applying arbitrary designs, but of finding harmony between the material and your vision. Our team is here to guide you through this journey, ensuring the result is both meaningful and enduring.
Corteza is part of the Designer Wallcoverings family, a name rooted in the design trade since 1996. This legacy means access to a depth of stock, real samples, and a human connection that remains at the heart of every interaction. Our parent house has long supported professionals by providing materials that speak to the soul of a project, not just its surface. With Corteza, this tradition continues — focused, deliberate, and entirely devoted to the art of raffia. Together, we build spaces that are not only seen, but felt.
