For Professionals
Trade
Program
Since 1934, Robert Abbey has built its business on one relationship: the one we have with designers. As a trade partner, you get more than access to our lighting collections, you get the tools, service, and priority treatment that keep your projects moving and your clients happy.
Program Benefits
COM Program
Bring your own fabric to life on our shades, with the option to use your customer's own material for a fully custom result.

Quick Ship availability subject to stock levels and product eligibility. Certain exclusions apply.

Designer margins on every order, direct from our Hickory, NC manufacturing facility.
Premium Access to New Introductions
