Carlita’s Favorite Find

The Jimmy Swivel Glider by Thayer Coggin is my favorite find. It’s shown in our Arlington Heights in color 2266-05 and has a tall back with a back cushion that flips up to fluff the cushion. The chair is great for all heights with a nice gliding feature.

This is my favorite find because the chair has a supportive tall back that you can lean on and relax comfortably. I love the brushed bronze base. The smooth gliding feature has a calming effect and the fabric has a light and airy feel, that will brighten any room.

The leather Urchin Chandelier by Ngala Trading Company comes in many sizes and leather colors. Each piece of leather is hand draped to give every piece a unique organic feel. I have all the colors and materials in the showroom for you to touch and feel.

Every piece from Ngala is hand-crafted by Artisans in South Africa. They use exotic materials and transform them into functional art. They like to call their products “Contemporary Safari Chic” There is nothing like their products in the market today!

Made in America from start to finish, the Fine Art Handcrafted Lighting Elevate Pendant with Frozen Pages glass is my favorite find.

Fine Art is one of my favorite lines because of the magic and craftsmanship behind every piece they make. The Elevate pendant series is a work of art as the light reflects and glows in every piece of glass. With several sizes, glass types and finish options available, you can make your very own work of art on your next project.

The Mona Chair by Thayer Coggin is my favorite find this month. I really love the fabric and wood combination.

Designed by Rick Lee, this chair is defined by a soft, biomorphic modern shape that hugs for an unparalleled lounging experience. It is available in a variety of fabrics and can be customized to match any décor. It is shown on our Chicago showroom floor in natural walnut and an olive green fabric.

The Palecek Duvall Lounge Chair features a hardwood frame, legs with pole rattan in a brown finish accented with wrapped natural rattan peel.

Everyone likes the sit. It is very universal to all shapes and sizes. We like Palecek for its combination of luxurious, handcrafted design and the use of natural and global materials like rattan and abaca. This chair is a statement piece that is both sophisticated and comfortable. This style appeals to customers seeking high-quality, organic, and unique home furnishings.

The Meshmatics Chandelier by Moooi is my favorite find. It is made with galvanized steel and brass. There is a single light source at the bottom inside the brass dome and illuminates the steel mesh structure. It’s available in 2 sizes.

This chandelier, designed by Rick Tegelaar, catches the eyes of many who walk by the showroom. The illuminated silhouette is a beautiful and soft display of sculptural light.

The Mesa Mandrel Chandelier by Hammerton Studio is my favorite find. Alternating beads of artisan blown crystal glass and metalwork evoke the bold look of modern jewelry in this linear chandelier. There are options for colors of metal and glass.

Dimmability of the light and the length of the fixture allow for a moody feel in a dining space.

The Mira Dining Chair & Milo Arm Chair by Wesley Hall Furniture are my favorite finds. We are showing the Milo Arm dining chair with contrast buttons and with one of my favorite decorative options that Wesley Hall offers, the bridle upholstered on the back of the chair. On the Mira dining chair, we specified a contrast welt to show off the details of the frame. Wesley Hall can add all these options to their upholstery, making each piece truly unique for every project.

Dining chairs from Wesley Hall are a favorite of mine for many reasons. They have been family owned and operated for five generations. Every piece is constructed with premium cushioning, hard-wood frames, and traditional 8-way hand-tie spring systems to ensure long lasting comfort. Their products are made in the USA, including the wood, cushioning, and finishing supplies that go into them. They also have a lot of sustainability practices that I love to support including 100% of their packaging materials are recyclable.
