Katie’s Favorite Find

The Chloe Swivel Glider Club Chair by Verellen features sculptural curves throughout its form- from its rounded back to the enveloping arms- giving it an elegant, organic look that softens any room. The tailored profile makes it work well in both casual and refined spaces.

I love the footprint of this chair! (W 35 x D 35 x H 35) Its balanced proportions make it ideal for a corner, conversation group, or as a stand-alone accent chair. Plus, its 360-rotation gives it a relaxed feel. This is NOT your grandma’s rocker!

With a keen eye for sustainable efforts, Verellen prioritizes responsibly sourced hardwoods from local forests and fabrics woven from natural fibers like Belgian linen, cotton, virgin wool, and recycled yarns. Handcrafted to order in the U.S.

Carol’s Favorite Find

The Pouf Ottoman by Cisco Home is my favorite find. We have two shown in our Scottsdale showroom in a beautiful green velvet and tufted detail.  The ottoman comes in different sizes and many fabric options and is made in the USA.

It is so versatile and can be a fun addition to any living room, play room, or bedroom.

Steven’s Favorite Find

The Thedford Swivel Chair by Wesley Hall is my new favorite find.  I love the comfort, the look, and the ability to do an easy combo! It is made in North Carolina by a family owned business abd offers a big sit with a small footprint. The piece on our Arlington Heights showroom floor features a nail head trim detail that I love. Its just enough!

It is also shown in our Chicago showroom in a stunning Frisco Sailboat leather.

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.

Melissa’s Favorite Find

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!

Julie’s Favorite Find

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.

Rick’s Favorite Find

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

Connie’s Favorite Find

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.
