Made By Hickory Chair

Luxurious Bedroom Retreats

A really comfortable bed in a beautifully styled room is one of the most loved parts of a home.  It is our retreat at the end of a long day.  It is the place where we linger on cool mornings.  It is a place where we tend to indulge ourselves with luxury.  In reviewing some photographs recently shared with us at Hickory Chair we found some really amazing bedroom get-a-ways that inspired us to share them with you!

 

Maybe it is a luxurious suite at the famous Cincinnatian Inn with the Candler Bed by Suzanne Kasler.

Or this luxurious bedroom at the Moraya Bay Club with a pair of Montauk Beds by Mariette Himes Gomez...

Maybe you would prefer this bedroom shared with us by David Fuller of Alyson Jon Interiors (photo courtesy of Merrick Ales Photography) featuring the Candler Bed by Suzanne Kasler.

Perhaps you would have to smile with a Simone Bed by Suzanne Kasler in an amazing room created by Tobi Fairley!

Our own Ron Fiore's master bedroom seen in the October 2011 issue of Traditional Home featuring the 1911 Collection Artisan Bed.

A night at Blackberry Farms in Cleveland, Tennessee might make you never want to return to your own bedroom without a Hickory Chair bed! Shown is the Calla Bed by Mariette Himes Gomez in this inviting room.

The Lakehouse Bed by Thomas O'Brien is inviting in this cottage at Blackberry Farm.

This luxurious bedroom in a Blackberry Farm cottage features the Chelsea Bed by Thomas O'Brien.

Whether your style is romantic, masculine, formal, casual, traditional, modern, country or coastal, with fabric, leather and finish options why settle for just a bed when you can have it made just for you at our workroom in Hickory, North Carolina!

Paula Grace Halewski - Ashburn, VA - Part 2

In November we shared with you a beautiful home that Paula Grace had completed for her client.  She owns Paula Grace Designs in Ashburn, Virginia. She also shared with us a home for different client.  This client has a home with very high ceilings, hardwood floors and has a love for contemporary art.  They chose dark finishes and rich, bold color.  

The living room is a great example of this aesthetic.  Paula Grace selected a Camden Sofa for her client.  A warm neutral fabric was selected for the sofa and is dressed with damask and silk throw pillows in reds, greens and golds to pull out the dynamic colors in the painting that hangs above it.  A pair of Alec Benches from the Thomas O'Brien Collection sit in the foreground of the picture.  Their beautiful walnut butt burl veneers and transitional form add interest along with additional seating. 

 

In the kitchen is a tall island with a display cabinet on the end and on the side the Amsterdam Bar Stools have been selected from the Suzanne Kasler Collection.  They have been finished in a dark stain to blend with the rich tone of the custom cabinetry.  A contrasting fabric has been used on the outback of the chairs to add visual interest.

 In the formal dining room Paula Grace chose the Duchamp Sideboard.  This european style sideboard is part of the glamour she has created for her client.

We thought you might enjoy seeing some additional photographs of this beautiful home by the talented Paula Grace Halewski!

 

2012 The Beginning of Our Next Hundred Years

Beginning our second hundred years is a great honor for all of us at Hickory Chair. We are proud of our Hickory, North Carolina workroom where almost 90% of our products are made. It is not the workroom that makes Hickory Chair products special. It is the nearly 500 artisans and craftsmen that choose to collaborate to make one of a kind pieces to order.

Today a couple of us were admiring a panoramic photograph taken in 1933 of the Machining Department. We discussed how much had changed since the photograph was taken in our world and remarked how much had stayed the same... We still make heirloom quality furniture domestically. We are proud to be an American manufacturer.

Our craftsmen created these pieces in the room scenes below for the October 2011 Market. These pieces are posted to our website www.hickorychair.com and are in stores... And are ready to be made in your choice of finish, fabric, leather, hardware. Many of them are also available in the size that is right for your room. We hope that we can make a special piece for your home. Thank you in advance for helping this American company stay American.

1911 to 2011 - Our 100th Year

As we all celebrate the New Year, we at Hickory Chair are thankful for everyone who helped us celebrate our 100th anniversary. Looking forward into our next 100 years is now our focus.

We begin this new year ready to take your wishes for special pieces for your home and make them a reality. We are ready to make custom adaptations to our extensive product assortment. Would it be perfect for your room if the sofa was longer, shorter, less deep, taller, tufted, etc? Need a modification of a dining table to have a different base, more narrow top, made counter height, etc? Our talented artisans are ready to accept your challenge as we return to work after our annual holiday vacation.

These photographs feature our new introductions from the fall market. Why settle when you can have it made?
