New Introductions

We're back in Halifax after visiting Georgia and the Carolinas. We were fortunate to meet leading designers in the industry including Thomas Pheasant, Suzanne Kassler and Thomas O'Brien. Pheasant's new line for Baker Furniture echoes classical architecture. Kassler's new lighting collection hints at the return of Spanish Colonial. O'Brien has also launched new lighting in luxurious finishes and a nod to mid century. These new pieces will be arriving at our shop in the coming weeks.

Valdese Weavers

Our Vanguard tour of Hickory NC continues. One of their key suppliers is Valdese Weavers. They are a leading North American manufacturer and distributor of fabrics. Unlike others they die all their fibers/yarn on site. They have recently teamed with Michael Weiss introducing a new collection of modernist patterns. The size of their operation and their library of fabrics is impressive.
