Glant Textiles is the creation of Gary Glant, who grew up surrounded by beautiful design. His childhood home, on the shore of Lake Washington in Seattle, was filled with the work of Jack Lenor Larsen and other legendary names in interior design. When he is not traveling the four corners of the world he lives in Seattle, where he founded Glant Textiles' international headquarters in 1976.

After a childhood dedicated to painting, music and other artistic pursuits, Glant studied architecture and international business at the University of Washington. In 1973, after opening a popular and successful chain of contemporary fabric and design stores in the Pacific Northwest, Glant went to Finland to design his own architecturally inspired line of textiles. He presented these fabrics to Kneedler-Fauchere, the preeminent furnishings showroom group that was responsible for discovering talents such as Jack Larsen, Angelo Donghia and Robin Roberts of Clarence House. Kneedler-Fauchere immediately offered to represent the Glant collection. Celebrated interior designer Michael Taylor saw Glant's constructions as they were being unpacked and selected them for the Jennifer Jones and Norton Simon home. Three months later, the house was featured on the cover of House and Garden and the Glant Textiles collection was launched.

Today, that initial collection has grown to include over 2,000 selections and Glant Textiles is an international leader in texture and color. Highly prized for their exceptional quality and spectacular range of contemporary and high-tech constructions, Glant textiles are found in the most discriminating and beautifully designed international installations including homes, hotels, restaurants, private aircraft and yachts.
