New Collection: Ray Booth for Hickory Chair

8/19/2019

New Collection: Ray Booth for Hickory Chair - Available at Hoff Miller

"I am so honored to share
my collection with you. The
collection’s inspiration comes
from a place that challenges
us to re-think our expectations
of home — how we interact
with our furnishings, as well
as the very forms and materials
themselves.”

"I believe when standing at the junction of where we have been and where we are today, we can often glimpse where we might be going next.”

"The intersection where modern meets antique is an exciting place from which I create.

I believe that contrast and connection between then and now provides nuance, depth and emotional context to an interior.

The juxtaposition of old and new is a signature of my work. I marry antiques with more modern, clean lined furniture. I am most drawn to antiques of an atypical Continental style; pieces that demonstrate an innovation for their time. I am equally attracted to the quiet modernity of Asian and African heirlooms–accents that are spiritual and grounded, timeless and timely. "

"The Collection is intended to inspire new thoughts on design that push our ever-evolving desire for creativity and inventiveness.

Sofas in my collection offer gracious thin, Tapering arms with subtle curvilinear details; their proportions extending longer than a typical standard sofa, their seating–a little lower. Chairs adapt a similar posture with bases that are fashioned of thin steel bar stock. Open back chairs of linen and leather offer an unexpected lightness of mass.”

“This collection reflects my own journey of contrasts and connections -pushing the boundaries of how we see and experience the world around us.

It is my dream that these new designs will be cherished for generations in the way so many antiques have made their way into our collective consciousness.”

An Alabama native and alumnus of Auburn University’s School of Architecture, Ray Booth launched his career with McAlpine. Moving to New York soon after, he had successful tenures in the offices of such distinguished design talents as John Saladino and Clodagh. A decade later, reuniting with Bobby McAlpine, his former professor, Ray returned to McAlpine as a partner in its interior design firm. These days, Ray divides his time between the firm's Nashville office and its expanded New York office, which allows him to keep one foot in the city and otherin his native south.

A member of the prestigious AD100 list of top designers, Ray is the author of Evocative Interiors, his bestselling first book published by Rizzoli in 2018. Ray’s received significant recognition from the nation’s most prestigious publications, including covers of Architectural Digest and features in Elle Décor, Veranda, Milieu, Wall Street Journal, and Vogue.com.

In 2019, Ray Booth launched his inaugural furniture collection with Hickory Chair and his first accessory and lighting collection with Arteriors. With an undimmed passion for beauty, Ray shares his life and homes in New York and Nashville with his husband John Shea.

Style Spotted: High Point Market's Style Report

6/10/2019

0 Comments

"Century introduced their Gemma Bed in collaboration with Carrier and Company. Fully upholstered and adorned with two-toned metal, its striking brass hinge detail mixed with the curvature of the bed to provide a stylish melding of masculine and feminine."

"Curvaceous lines have been a growing trend in European design over the last few years and it has definitely influenced American manufactures this season.
I loved the creative ways everyone from Ray Booth for Hickory Chair and Ralph Lauren for Visual Comfort have used these forms to great effect."

"The most prominent trend I saw at Market was the interpretation of nature,
not only in color (green) but also in product construction and application.
The Poppy Armoire by Selamat Designs is the perfect example. It's constructed of a wood frame, white lacquer doors and raised gold and rattan motif. The intricacy was exquisite, a beautiful display of natural sophistication, and a nod to Art Nouveau."

"Gilded leaves, an abundance of wicker, along with crocheted light fixtures, complete with hanging, beaded tassels (Selamat Designs), all blended together and harkened back to the Golden era of 1950's Cuba, and in more recent memory, Celerie Kemble's home in the Dominican Republic."

Fresh from High Point: Suzanne Kasler's Paris Collection

4/30/2018

Paris Apartment collection by Suzanne Kasler for Hickory Chair

In mid-April, we ventured to High Point Market with the majority of our Hoff Miller crew. We had a fabulous time reconnecting with long-time friends and work associates, and we met some lovely new faces. We also had the pleasure of viewing the new collections our manufacturers have just released, while meeting the designers who've worked so hard creating their collections and putting their vignettes together at market.

While at High Point Market, we tend to have "market moments", which we've defined as those special times where we may become giddy, shell-shocked, hearts racing, or we may get touchy-feely with a fabric... you get the picture! While we all had our own "market moments" around town, our biggest collective moment was in Suzanne Kasler's space.

We were aware of the collection's name, Paris, but weren't prepared to feel as though we'd actually arrived in Paris. Suzanne Kasler truly captured the look and feel of Paris with her beautifully scaled and detailed pieces, the lovely color palette, art and florals, and soft lighting.

"Paris is a constant source of inspiration for me. The boutiques, the hotels, the restaurants, the flea markets... No matter how many trips I take, there is always something new -- or ancient -- around every corner that inspires a new chapter in design for me..." - Suzanne Kasler

The Paris collection for Hickory Chair was inspired by pieces that Suzanne Kasler has collected over the years. This new collection is a sophisticated blend of intricately detailed, hand-crafted wood products, as well as tailored upholstered pieces. Throughout the elegant offerings, architectural elements are highlighted with modern details and clean lines for a timeless look.

"The French have an eye for an edited, yet collected, simplicity that always shines through. The elegant scale, the high and the low, mixing old and new... that's all at the heart of the Paris collection."
- Suzanne Kasler

"With the variety of finishes and custom details offered, these new pieces can be easily translated into many different interior narratives allowing each room to take on a distinct personality. The fun part is now taking it all in and making it your very own." - Suzanne Kasler
