Hickory Chair: Positano Collection by David Phoenix

New from Hickory Chair, The Positano Collection, designed by David Phoenix was a big hit at High Point Market this past October. The introduction includes 25 pieces of seating and case goods inspired by the relaxed, high style of the iconic seaside enclave.

“I named the collection after one of my favorite places on earth,” David says. “I’ve lived by the sea for most of my life, recently relocating from Los Angeles to Palm Beach. But Positano has a unique spirit and style—maybe it’s the hills dotted with villas and the cafes on cliffs and how the whole town seems to pause to watch the sunset together—it’s chic and magical.”

While the entire collection channels the laid-back glamour of the Amalfi Coast, standout pieces include the Sydney dresser (below), which wears oversized hardware inspired by David’s favorite vintage jeweler, David Webb, and the sculptural Marquesa Sofa and Sectional (above).

​“David challenged us with this collection,” says Skip Rumley, Hickory Chair’s Creative Director. “David’s pieces are fresh, sophisticated and modern, and through our finishes and textiles, they lend themselves to both formal and casual relaxed aesthetics. I know the new collection will provide both inspiration and solutions for designers and their clients around the world.”

The Positano Collection features curvy silhouettes, smaller scale options, and charming, unexpected details, both decorative and practical. David selected lighter, open-grain finishes from Hickory Chair’s expansive selection of paint and stained finishes to showcase on each piece of this exciting new collection.
