Irvine, California–based textile supplier Momentum Group has announced it has acquired Sina Pearson Textiles. Sina Pearson, known for her globally influenced textile design, will join Momentum Group as the company’s fourth distinct brand. Designers such as Carl and Emanuela Magnusson, Sheila Hicks, and Hazel Siegel have also contributed to Momentum Group’s collection in recent years.
“Three decades of design by textile icon Sina Pearson has culminated into an award winning and inspirational textile collection. Sina Pearson will continue to design beautiful,innovative, sustainable textiles. At Momentum Group we celebrate design legacies – especially the extraordinary contributors to the contract textile industry. Our newest partnership with Sina Pearson will continue and expand our appreciation for iconic design. Sina Pearson’s legacy begins anew with Momentum Group,” said the company in a press release.

She will have added resources to explore new possibilities in design, sustainability and performance. Her personal style influenced by extensive travel, love of diverse cultures and the beauty of nature are sure to result in new endeavors continuing to excite her existing clients and many new ones. Sina Pearson fabrics will have exponentially more exposure through our sales team of over 60 representatives across North America. With Momentum Group, Sina Pearson will continue to design many more extraordinary fabrics now unencumbered by the daily task of running a business. She can focus 100% of her efforts on designing beautiful products for our customers.” Roger Arciniega, President/CEO
Pearson launched the Association of Contract Textiles (ACT) in 1985, which remains a key resource for the industry on standards and contract textile information. She travels the country providing continuing education units to interior designers and specifiers. A practitioner of green design, Pearson strives to source responsibly for her fabrics, which convey a strong sense of place through color, yarn, weave, and pattern.
“I believe in wasting less, using what we have more economically and leaving more for future generations,” said Pearson. “Each of us should make a commitment in our own way to preserve our precious environment.”
Sina Pearson is the perfect addition to Momentum Group brand. She is a kindred spirit with a personal style that is all her own. This iconic brand is individual with its own personal style and unique point of view. Color, yarn, weave and pattern give each Sina Pearson fabric a sense of place. Sina’s life experiences are reinterpreted and expressed in beautiful fabrics. The Nordic Collection was created after a trip to Iceland. In January of last year, Sina won Interior Design Magazine Best of Year Award for this collection. Year after year Sina Pearson has won accolades from the contract textile industry.
“A design team is most innovative when collectively tapping into the experiences and talents of the group members. With the addition of Sina we add a new creative perspective. We welcome her to the Momentum Group design team.” Shantel McGowan, Vice President of Design. “Sina Pearson and Momentum Group are beginning a new chapter. Together we will strive to integrate beautiful textiles with innovation not yet imagined. Sina Pearson is an important part of our future story.”
