About Duvall Design

Charles Duvall started working with fabric structures as a designer and developer of camping tents. Inspired by flowers, leaves, branches, and other lightweight yet resilient natural structures, many of Duvall's original tent designs became popular in the U.S., Europe, and especially Japan, where they were recognized for their simple beauty, elegant structure, and sturdy performance.  Duvall Design has evolved into a highly focused artistic shop, working in fabric and frame as the primary medium but looking at the finished result as something more than that – as a truly dynamic space.
