Hickory Chair: Everett by Skip Rumley

​For the past eight years, Skip Rumley has led the fashion and design aesthetic for Hickory Chair bringing such talents as Ray Booth, David Phoenix and Susan Hable to create collections for the 109-year-old company. In this role, Skip has been responsible for leading product innovation, merchandising the product assortment and creating fashion-leading collaborative collections with each of our design partners. During his storied career, Skip has forged a career engaged with some of the most prestigious luxury brands in the furniture industry where he has designed interiors for showrooms and galleries as well as designing furniture, lighting and accessories.

​The Everett Collection is rooted in Skip’s twenty-year journey through the world of design. He has learned to ‘speak a lot of languages’ as style, fashion and form have evolved. He lived in a modern glass house and recently moved into a 1940’s Cape Cod home. He loves the tension that occurs when combining traditional and modern forms. He loves references to classic design and the excitement that is created when they are mixed with both soft organic silhouettes and architectural forms. He believes that interiors should be both masculine and feminine - when married together it creates a lovely dynamic.

We want our pieces to be a canvas that truly become functional art once our craftsmen build it with the specifications from the designer.
