Fall 2017 Lifestyle Report

This Fall, Century inspires with a range of colors and patterns from citrons and pale couture, persimmon and navy prints, classic black and white to boho blues. In a marketplace where consumers are king, Century continues to offer a breadth of style and fashion that allows their partners to sell all homes with personalization and distinction. In an ever changing landscape, this seventy year old family business continues to grow by expanding their product line, but still remains true to their core values of quality, impeccable design, and attention to detail. Awe-inspiring and innovative without being trendy, Century Furniture stands out as an eminent house of high end style.



Pattern Play

It's all about mixing pattern. We tend to focus on the notion that all interiors have to match, but it's much more exciting by taking risk in mixing and matching patterns. High contrast colors of grassy green, navy blues, and pops of persimmon mix to create a multi-pattern look. These bold, colorful patterns of geometric shapes and chinoiserie blend together effortlessly and unify one another, but can easily stand alone as accent pieces in the room. A perfect paradox!




 



Boho Blues

This color story of blues will take you on a journey around the world in your own home. A mixture of multicultural Indian block prints, casual stripes, and traditional Indian prints embraces how you live and where you have traveled. Each piece feels like an experience and tells its own story.
 

 
 
Classic Black & White
 
Chinoiserie décor + classic black and white textiles equals crisp and classic rooms. It is the white button down shirt and choker of home design. Confident yet youthful, fanciful and chic. You simply cannot get this wrong. Add in a touch of color for good measure just to keep them guessing.
 


 
 
 
Impressionism
 
They say impressionism captures a feeling or experience. Well, this story will have you feeling like you are floating on a cloud. Light and dreamy watercolors and patterns with subtle hints of citron to blend the pieces together.
 




 
 
 
Copper Elegance
 
Traditional fabrics are revisited in updated colors and textures breathing youth into patterns once relegated to the parlor. Damask reigns once more as the pattern for the home. Mixing in velvets, silks, and a touch of sparkle, these fabrics feel fresh and current. Coppery tones blend with gray and pale blues and work well with handsome dark wood stains to give rooms sophistication and elegance.
 


 
 
 
Pale Couture
 
Soft aquas, creams, and touches of citron mix to create a feminine backdrop. Ivory silks and velvets are complemented beautifully with hints of aqua and citron. This pale couture look is swoon worthy and makes an everlasting statement. These rooms feel soft and serene, but never sweet or cute. Feminine, but not delicate. Metal, Lucite, glass, and painted wood elements add a luxe quality that is present but understated.

April High Point Market Highlights

This April Market in High Point was one for the books. We launched our new collection with Windsor Smith and our new configurable casegoods collection "Details".  We showcased a collaboration by Pendleton and Sunbrella and shared a sneak peak of Thomas O'Brien's new outdoor furniture which will be launching in late summer.

For those who were unable to make it to High Point, we wanted to share some highlights with you!

Market to Market Journey: Phase 5

 


October market always goes as fast as comes. We made it to Market and the showroom was just sparkling. The showroom was filled with buyers and designer for five days and made this showroom very busy! When our design team completely finished the night before market, we all felt very accomplished and excited for market to begin.
 
 
 
This October Market for Century was filled with blues. You name it from cobalt to indigo, blue was everywhere. We paired all the blues with our dyed finishes in sapphire and lapis and it looked stunning!
 
 
 
 
Everyone went crazy over the lapis blue Milan dining table!


 Here are few more snapshots from the showroom...
 
I sure do love this new colorful print fabric!
 

 
 
 
Another favorite was the Omni dining table in desert top and smoke base!







I hope you made it to our showroom this market. If you did, let us know what was your favorite piece or room??

Market to Market: Journey Phase One


Market goers stand awed and wide eyed every April and October as they drift through the Century Showroom. As with any “show”, there is always great preparation and hard work leading up to the great debut. In this blog series “Market to Market Jourey”, an insider’s view of what the months prior to market look like.




Although we still may be swooning over our favorite pieces and fabrics from last market, preparation for October market is far underway. Shortly after April market, Showtime, High Point’s Semi-Annual Fabric Market, begins the first week of June full of style and great new trends. Fabric, leather, and trimming vendors set up spaces and beautifully display their newest fabrics.








Trend Forecast by Showtime


Just like shopping at market for furniture, we begin our search for amazing new fabrics and trims! With appointments back to back, each day during Showtime is filled with viewing of fabrics. At each vendor, we request fabric samples of our favorite fabrics we saw. This Showtime we saw some gorgeous fabrics!!

By the end of showtime we have literally seen thousands and thousands of new fabrics! Before we start going through fabric samples, the creative team meets to brainstorm ideas for the showroom...




Shortly after Showtime, all of the fabrics that we selected begin to arrive! It’s like Christmas time, opening up all the boxes of our samples and starting to select fabrics for October Market. We have a lot of boxes to open and fabrics to start going through...



 
This place becomes a fabric frenzy!!


After we begin going through fabrics and refining our ideas, the team meets again. This time we form our concepts and tentative plans for each space. This showroom is getting ready to transform again! 
 

Stay tuned for what happens next in the Journey from Market to Market!
