As a first chapter in celebrating our 100th year in 2011, Hickory Chair opened a brand new showroom in High Point, North Carolina! This new showroom, located at 330 N. Hamilton, is open during furniture markets and by appointment the rest of the year.
Located street level, we have easy access during market. We have banks of floor to ceiling windows on several sides of the building which gives all of us the gift of natural light. This has already proven to be extremely helpful during market as designers and buyers worked with our fabrics and finishes.
We debuted the second collection by Suzanne Kasler during the market. Known as The Studio Collection, this new collection complements the original collection beautifully! Shown is the new Simone king size bed with its beautifully upholstered headboard, side rails and footboard. It is available in twin, queen and California king as well. To add further personalization, Simone is available without upholstery! Below it is shown in the twin size in our new finish, Weathered Stone.
As a first for Hickory Chair, the first ever licensed fabric collection was introduced with Hable Construction! Sisters Susan (left) and Kate (right) formed the textile company eleven years ago with a vision and a mission. They named their company for their great-grandfather's Texas road construction company. In the years since they have created one of a kind fabrics all from Susan's hand painted designs.
Their fabrics are woven and printed in America. Their entreprenaurial spirit complements the talented craftsmen at Hickory Chair who carefully make one of a kind pieces to order. The collaboration of these companies have resulted in fresh, graphic fabrics to the classic pieces made by Hickory Chair. Swatches are in production now for stores and trade showrooms around the country. Pictured is the Geranium pattern being hand painted and then a grouping of graphite toned Hable - Hickory Chair fabrics.
Don't these Louis XVI chairs look inspired in their graphite colored Hable Construction fabrics? For more information contact press@hickorychair.com!
Laura, the showroom looks stunning and I can't wait to see it next spring at market. Also, I am so pleased with the fabrics from Hable...what a great idea.
Congrats,
