Grant Thornton Stax congratulates Thibaut, a premier designer and distributor of luxury wallcoverings, fabrics, rugs, and furniture, on its recent acquisition by Quad-C Management. We are proud to have supported Thibaut, a former Norwest Equity Partners portfolio company, on the sell-side, working closely with its management team and investment bank, William Blair and Company, throughout this successful transaction.​

Over more than a century, the company has expanded into a comprehensive design brand offering wallcoverings, fabrics, trim, furniture, and rugs across its portfolio of brands, including Thibaut, Anna French, Coraggio, and Thibaut Fine Furniture. ​


Renowned for its distinctive aesthetic and elevated design approach, Thibaut combines sophisticated color palettes, modern interpretations of timeless patterns, dedicated customer service, and original artwork developed by its in-house creative team.
