Poppy is an interior textiles company by founder/designer Jennifer Hunt. Jennifer is from Lawrence, Kansas. She studied drawing, painting, and fibers at the Maryland Institute, College of Art and graduated from the Textile Design program at the University of Kansas. Jennifer’s career began in fashion, designing printed fabrics and knitwear in Lima, Peru, alongside expert artisans and manufacturers. The founding of Poppy Print Studio came in 2016, launching an original wallpaper collection produced in-house and in partnership with her husband and business partner Ben Koehn.
Poppy collections represent an artist’s singular vision, while functionality, service, and relevance are central to the business. Balancing innovative designs with industry needs, Poppy continues to expand category offerings with patterned upholstery and drapery fabrics, throw pillows, solid fabrics and wallcoverings, as well as collaborative ventures.
Poppy was early to offer designer printed vinyl, beginning in 2017, initiating a commercial-focused product line alongside traditional, residential papers. Jennifer designed HP’s wide format presentation at the 2018 Heimtextil show in Frankfurt. In 2021, Poppy collaborated with Brooklyn’s Office of Tangible Space on a capsule wallpaper collection which made an appearance at Frieze 2024 in Los Angeles. Poppy wallpapers have been published in Architectural Digest Middle East and Real Simple Magazine, and displayed in the Real Simple Showhouse in Manhattan in 2025. In 2026, Poppy’s Wave wallpaper featured prominently in the Netflix series, Beef, and most recently, Poppy debuted a fabric and pillow line.
New collections have been presented in New York City, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Chicago and Minneapolis since Poppy’s founding. Appearing in homes, offices, campuses, hotels, restaurants, and more, Poppy is found across the United States and Canada. Partnerships with select showrooms and reps, and an in-house sales team facilitate every project.
Jennifer believes in the tradition of textile design as a collaborative community and witnesses the textile workshop of today being a widespread network of creatives, tradespeople, and manufacturers keeping crafts alive in new ways. Her design influences include art history, fashion, music, textile crafts, printmaking, and studio art practices.
