New York — Croscill Home continues in efforts to lead the luxury bedding in design with the addition of Vivian Pelkaus to its ranks.

Pelkaus most recently worked for Cone Decorative Fabrics, which was recently purchased by Richloom Fabrics Group.

"We feel that she has a reputation as one of the best in the industry, and we're lucky to have her," said David Kahn, president and ceo of the New York-based luxury bedding manufacturer, to whom she will directly report. "She'll be an integral part of the design team."

Kahn added that the hiring of Pelkaus was the beginning of an initiative within Croscill to invest in state-of-the-art computer aided design (CAD) people and equipment.
