Twice each year, in the Spring and in the Fall, John and I make a pilgrimage to the High Point Market. It is exciting to see new trends, colors, fabrics and designs, spread out over countless city blocks. This Spring’s market was definitely influenced by a transitional interpretation of traditional & antique styles.
Duralee’snewest fabrics add a touch of modern elegance to traditional frames. As always ~ they’re so perfectly tailored! The showroom was awash with playful pinks, lavenders and plums, just in time for spring.
Hickory Chair was celebrating their 100 year anniversary and the new collection was produced by in-house designers paying tribute to old traditions but with a modern interpretation. We saw a lot of great woven tailored patterns in strong grays, browns and neutral colors. My favorite style is Neoclassical and I found a great chair for a client in their showroom. Marie Antoinette would have been proud.
Pearson’swas also celebrating their 70 year anniversary (This year we’re celebrating 20 years in business…How time flies!). I always enjoy their collection of antiques that they use to display with upholstered pieces. Their selection of antiques varies from formal to rustic – English, French and Oriental – a great eclectic mix similar to what we do in our own showrooms.
New items are arriving each week in both states, and we’re photographing & uploading them to our website as fast as we can, because we want everyone to share in our excitement!Be on the lookout for new arrivals in both states by staying logged on to www.inessa.com.
