Our employees personal favorite products
My favorite find for this month is the Nocturne Bed Collection made for CAI. With rounded corners and a border welt detail, the King bed featured in our Arlington Heights showroom is 63″ tall.
This collection allows you to create any style or function of bed, including platforms and storage drawers, custom heights and shapes, and trim details!

The Faenza Cocktail Table by Alfonso Marina is my favorite find. This Primavera wood cocktail table is composed of two pieces that complement each other beautifully. The larger table has a top with rounded corners that rests on sturdy banded legs – the contrast between thick and thin elements is gorgeous. The smaller piece is intricately carved providing a foil to the smoothness of the larger table. It reads as a beautifully crafted piece of sculpture.
I love that the pieces can be separated depending on the use case. It takes up space; this is one of those pieces that has presence! Alfonso Marina does such a beautiful job with their finish work and this is a great example of that. The sumptuous surfaces really pop against light upholstery.

The Sea Urchin Chandelier by Ngala is my favorite find. It is featured in our Chicago showroom in Cream-Stone Leather. This chandelier is handcrafted by artisans who have enhanced their craft over many years. Most of Ngala’s products are sourced from family-owned businesses, with the majority of whom are women-owned and women-led.
The chandelier’s varying lengths create a soft silhouette that feels sculptural and elegant from every angle. There are a variety of unique leather colors that allows for a more personalized and distinctive design statement. I love that Ngala combines hand craftsmanship with ethical and local partners that result in both high quality and beautiful products.

The Bubble Chair and Ottoman by Bracci is my favorite find. This modern club swivel chair is available in leather only and offered in some of the finest Italian leathers. There are 2 stitch thicknesses to pick from and you can even do a contrasting stitch. The chair is also available as a swivel glider or in a non swivel version.
I love the clean lines and sharp design. It is a wonderfully comfortable chair.

The 05801 Trend Fabric is my favorite find this month. It is a 54” wide Paisley pattern velvet fabric and it’s in the cleanable performance category. It is 100% polyester & exceeds 51,000 double rubs and is available in 3 colors.
I love the ornate traditional look of this pattern. The colors are rich and give a muted vintage-inspired scheme. The pattern is very busy and tightly packed, creating a luxurious, tapestry-like effect with almost no negative space. The texture is soft and would make any upholstery beautiful.

The Roxy Would Swivel Chair by Thayer Coggin is my favorite find this month. Originally designed in 1965 by Milo Baughman, this chair is a modern classic. Featuring a walnut wood base, button tufting and a unique swivel-tilt mechanism, Roxy Would is a timeless lounge chair for all spaces.
I love this piece because it works with modern and transitional styles.

The Loggia Sofa from Lane Venture‘s Hemmingway Collection is my favorite find this month. It features hand-woven synthetic wicker weave over premium powder-coated aluminum. It is shown in our Troy location in a Honey finish and is available in any Lane Venture outdoor fabric.
This is a favorite of mine because it is as stylish as it is comfortable. I love to be outdoors on my patio enjoying the sunshine!

The Orchid Bouquet by Treemasters is my favorite find. Multiple faux plants come together to create a beautiful arrangement that can be used anywhere in the home. I have orchids at home and love to watch them develop new blossoms. This arrangement is very life like and a stunning display of blooms.

The Metamorphosis Large Vase by Bomma is my favorite find. This smoked amber glass vase looks like a dragon egg! It’s different from what we have in our other showrooms—ours is a little smokier. Bomma creates these vases from lighting pieces that didn’t work for them, which I think is very neat, creating something out of nothing.

The Roxy Swivel Tilt Tub Chair by Thayer Coggin is my favorite find. We have a pair featured in our Indianapolis showroom, upholstered in a fun velvet print. I love the chair’s compact frame and the velvet makes it feel irresistibly cozy and inviting.
