A premium custom shade manufacturing and installation partner for design-led residential projects: made-to-measure fabrication in Brooklyn, premium fabrics, motorization expertise and installation coordinated with your schedule.

Pre-wiring consultation
Planning motor locations, power and control before walls and ceilings close.
Smart-home & integration support

A Brooklyn Workroom for Your Projects
Apollo fabricates custom shades in our workroom at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Working directly with the people who make the shades means clear answers on fabric, sizes and hardware, and consistent results across every room of a project.

Every shade is built to site measurements, with consistent hem bars, fabric orientation and finishes from window to window.
Samples for client presentations
Fabric samples and swatches to help your clients compare color, texture and openness in their own light.
A dedicated contact
One point of contact for selections, quotes and scheduling.

We help you and your clients choose the right combination for each room.
Premium fabrics and openness
Solar, blackout, light-filtering and sheer collections, with guidance on openness for glare, privacy and view.
