Market to Market Journey: Phase Four

 

We are rocking and rolling setting up the showroom in High Point! With just a few days to go, this place is coming together quickly!! We have been unloading trucks, propping, staging, laying rugs, cleaning, changing light bulbs... you name it! It takes a lot of man power and energy to set up this big showroom!

 

 

We have had trucks coming from Hickory almost daily, sometimes 2 or 3 in one day!

 

With the new pieces coming in, each space gets a little bit cramped, until it is set up.

 

 

We're so thankful for our team of hard working guys who move furniture for us all day long! They set up beds, tables, lay rugs... it's a lot of hard work!

 

 

 

We have about 80 rugs in this showroom...and those things are heavy!

 

 

 

With furniture in place, we get the creative juices flowing and start propping them with accessories. We have a lot of  blue going on here! Accessories help to pull out the colors in the spaces.

 

Some of the designers at work...

Here is Angelia contemplating her space. It is looking good!

 

Julie is mastering this cabinet and hanging artwork. It is looking very pretty!

 

 

Each bookcase and cabinet is like a composition to be balanced. Lots of different style props are used to create just the perfect look!

 

 

Come to the Century Showroom in Market Square to see it all finished!!

From the Factory--January 2013

Hard to believe we are into another year.  Yet, here I sit and January is a day away from being in the past. We have been hard at work in our factories building and finishing some spectacular pieces of furniture that by now are on their way to someone's home.  Looking at them, I truly wish it were my own! 

Enjoy some pictures of what we saw coming down our finishing line this month and remember you can see them all on on our Pinterest board @ http://pinterest.com/centuryfurnitur .

Century Furniture: "Boston Style"

I always love going to our Boston showroom! Its such a beautiful city. I find it to be very vibrant; celebrating both its historical roots as well as modern culture. We find this dichotomy exists in Boston Style, as we sell both traditional and contemporary designs equally well. Actually Boston design as a whole I believe is a great blend of traditional and contemporary - cultivating a fresh, modern take on classic styles. I think you will agree this look is very evident in our Boston showroom.

Located in the Boston Design Center, our showroom is on the 4th floor (suite 447).

(The view of the showroom coming down the 4th floor corridor.)

(I just love this room - so sophisticated and I love the cream & cocoa color palette.)

(A mix of contemporary pieces, featuring the new Tribeca collection.)

(A chest from Tribeca - my favorite piece from the collection!)

(Another piece from Tribeca filled with an assortment of mercury glass.)

(Every room needs a little bit of sparkle - an elegant bedside table.)

(The view across our outdoor area .... yes, all of this furniture is outdoor suitable!)

(The view from our windows - I love these great, old windows. They allow for such light in the showroom!)

(An Oscar de la Renta dining room setting.)

(A fun chaise sits in front of our upholstered headboard samples.)

(A classic setting featuring a traditional bookcase and robin's egg lamps. Love the lamps!)

(A setting of traditional upholstery - meadow-green fabrics and the white display cabinet take it more fresh.)

(I loved this grouping of prints with the sapphire blue urns.)

(The design center of the showroom.)

(Classic poster bed with bedding from Ankasa.)

(A cocktail ottoman from our new Profiles collection.)

(One of my all-time favorite sofas ... love the beige and white combination. Casual but so chic!)

High Point Furniture Market- Introducing The Tribeca Collection

The world is not the same place. With the rise in and expectation of constant communication via blackberries, iPhones and social media we are living in a new and often times stressful world. This era of “always on” has lead to the rise of luxury resorts and vacation villas that are wireless free, literally no connections allowed. It seems we do need our downtime, our sanctuaries and respites from the pushes and pulls in order to recharge and recenter.

“Today more than ever people want their home to be a retreat, a place away from the ringing and buzzing,” says Comer Wear, Director of Marketing for Century Furniture. “Where we used to see homes built as showcases, the focus now is smaller more personal spaces where one can escape.” With its style rooted in serenity and sophistication, Century Furniture’s newest collection, Tribeca, brings this sentiment to life. The collection featuring thirty pieces of bedroom, dining and occasional debuts this spring at the International Home Furnishings Market in High Point, NC. Named after the exclusive and historic residential neighborhood in New York, the Tribeca collection is Century’s interpretation of today’s new social consciousness. Opulence and showy wealth have fallen out of fashion at the same time as our world has become hyper connected and chaotic. This perfect storm inspired Tribeca—a collection of modern sophistication, where designs are pure and sculptural and noted just as much for their refrain as for their subtleties in detail.

Graceful simplified design sensibilities are married with beautiful American walnut, the best time-honored craftsmanship and then enhanced with a rich soft hand rubbed finish. The cases are crafted of maple solids and quarter cut American Walnut straight grain veneers. American Walnut, selected for its minimal, controlled grain patterns, enhances the simplicity of each piece. The primary finish, Tribeca, is a clear warm brown with a clarity only achieved through a multi-step process performed by artisans of unparalleled skill. The jewelry, soft hammered silver, accentuates but does not distract. Each piece of Tribeca is a lesson in controlled design.
