Hickory Chair: Everett by Skip Rumley

3/22/2021

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.

HABLE FOR HICKORY CHAIR

Sisters Susan Hable Smith and Katherine Hable founded the NY-based textile company Hable Construction in 2009. Named after their Texan great-grandfather’s 20th century road construction business, they now pave roads of a different sort as leaders in textile design while expanding their studio to create furniture and decorative
accessories for the home.

Ideas are distilled from travel and life adventures to simple forms with integrity and most of all thoughtfulness.

Our New Outdoor Lines!

4/1/2020

With everything going on right now, we wanted to share some happy news with you. It's been hard to contain our excitement, but now we're able to make it official -- we've taken on two amazing, new (to us) outdoor brands!! Both have their own personalities and we are pinching ourselves that we get to bring them to you, our wonderfully talented clients. We'll have them in our Digital Showroom soon (and in our actual showroom, of course), but in the meantime, we'd like to introduce you to them. Patio season is almost here, and if you're like us, you've probably been enjoying every bit of outside time lately -- it's time to create you or your client's outdoor oasis.

Justina Blakeney is the multidisciplinary designer behind the New York Times best-selling books, The New Bohemians and The New Bohemian Handbook, the award-winning design blog, Jungalow.com.

Her wild bohemian style celebrates color, pattern and plans, and inspired her two million online followers to let their creativity run free.

Selamat has created an editorial capsule collection inspired by Florence Broadhurst, the famed 20th century Australian wallpaper and textile designer, fearless globetrotter and iconic style maven. In a time that embraced color blocking and minimalist design, Broadhurst launched a daring venture -- a luxury, hand-printed wallpaper business filled with striking geometric prints, bright chinoiserie themes, and oversized nature-inspired motifs.

A selection of Broadhurst's most iconic designs are reimagined and interpreted by Selamat as carved furniture, hardware, lighting and sculpture, rekindling the timeless influence of patterns in the world of home decor.

Natural Materials

.... And last but not least, we love their commitment to the future. Selamat sources sustainably-managed materials like rattan, jute, FSC-certified teak and mahogany, and prioritize the heritage, ecosystems and economies of their skilled artisans.

"We respect the fragility of our planet, so every Selamat piece is responsibly manufactured to last for decades, from our family to yours"

We encourage you to come in to our showroom to see, sit & feel Selamat -- and invite you to experience the calm that we felt the first time we experienced Selamat at High Point Market.

Selamat has made all our hygge dreams come true!

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
