New Collection: Ray Booth for Hickory Chair

"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.
