Hickory Chair: David Phoenix's Positano Collection

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.”

Hickory Chair: Everett by Skip Rumley

3/22/2021

0 Comments

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.

accessories for the home.

Roundup: Swivel Chairs

ROUNDUP: SWIVEL CHAIRS

The swivel chair has come a long way since it was invented by Thomas Jefferson. It's said that he modified the English-style Windsor chair with various parts, including casters used in rope-hung windows. Jefferson sat upon this chair when he drafted the Declaration of Independence in 1776.

Nowadays, the swivel has evolved from a desk chair into a lounge chair, bringing function and versatility to your home. This blog is a roundup of our favorite swivel chairs from our brands. You'll find a style for every design aesthetic -- plus, many of these chairs are currently on our floor for you to see and sit in person!

Tip: When you click on each image, it will bring you to that product's page, where you'll find dimensions and specs -- and if you're logged in (as a designer), you can save products to project folders and access pricing.

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."
