Fresh from High Point Market: Hancock & Moore

10/31/2019

Every six months we travel to High Point, NC to attend High Point Furniture Market. One might think that seeing all the new furniture designs and collections would be the highlight of our trip, but ultimately, getting to connect and catch up with our furniture family takes the cake. It almost becomes a big family reunion, with our time together becoming more and more special each market. We get to catch up with our fabulous reps, customer service reps, owners and presidents of the companies, the designers who've created these masterpieces, and everyone in between. We feel such pride that we get to work with talented and passionate people -- the whole reason we do what we do!

We return from HPMKT filled with so much joy and inspiration, reminiscing on the whirlwind that is market. While we're still feeling all the feels, we want to share it with you -- beginning with our favorite new designs from Hancock & Moore -- plus a sneak peek of what will be arriving to our floor in the next few months. We'll be featuring favorites from our other brands in upcoming blog posts, so stay tuned for more with them.

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.”

Style Spotted: High Point Market's Style Report

6/10/2019

"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
