Claudia’s Favorite Find

The Carbon Sectional by Rene Cazares  is my favorite find. The structure and construction of the frame is superb, this fabric is lush, has a beautiful hand and the combination of white goose cushion fills and/or trillium provides great support and comfort.

It has such a beautiful presence; we have many options as far as bases and finishes. And it is extremely well built and comfortable.

Rea’s Favorite Find

The Mara Buffet by Taracea is my favorite find this month. American Oak, adjustable shelves to allow for all types of storage.  It is in-stock and ready for pick up from the Chicago Showroom. 

I am a huge fan of Taracea. The family owned and operated company is truly dedicated to sustainability, nature and the art of furniture making.  The Mara buffet is a beautifully crafted one-of-a-kind piece.  It‘s my favorite because of its sculptural yet architectural design.  The organic American Oak veneer that wraps one side of the buffet makes for a great conversation starter at any dinner party.  The Mara is truly a piece of art and best viewed in person, so stop on by to take a look!

Maria’s Favorite Find

The Dew Drops Pendant by Bomma is my favorite find. Designed by Boris Klimek, mouth blown crystal globes with black leather or vegan leather straps available in 15 colors. These can be layered with multiple straps with lights and without to create a sculptural lighting experience.

This light fixture captures the essence of dew drops glistening on a delicate blade of grass. It’s one of my favorites because it beautifully reflects nature, while also showcasing the sculptural interplay of light and shadow. I also appreciate how it pushes the boundaries of what we typically consider a chandelier to be.

Connie’s Favorite Find

My favorite find this month, the Etienne Sofa by Highland House, offers a fresh take on a classic tuxedo sofa. It can dress up for a living room or easily become more casual for a den. Thin shelter arms, a bench seat cushion and two 21.5″ standard bolster arm cushions make Etienne a stand out.

I tend to sell this piece to designers of all ages. Both younger and older clients love incorporating it into their projects. I like it because, for a smaller sofa, it feels incredibly comfortable and generous in size.

Heather’s Favorite Find

The Kent Tufted Sofa by Hickory Chair is my Favorite Find this month. With its tufted tuxedo styling and effortless Ralph Lauren vibes, it strikes the perfect balance between sleek sophistication and comfort. The high arms of this sofa make perfect for reading because you can cozy up with the higher arm.

Tricia’s Favorite Find

The Focusx5 Pendant by DCWéditions is my favorite find. The chandelier is composed of 5 luminous discs in PMMA acrylic glass can be found in either white or black. The designer, Yuji, has transformed discs into objects floating mobile in a
weightless world of refracted light.

I love how you can glance at the light fixture at different times of the day and it looks completely
different. This magical quality is like a childhood memory or a future daydream cast in a swirl of
light.

Farin’s Favorite Find

The Ava Chair is a handcrafted accent chair, expertly made in the USA by Cisco Home. The curved back and wood plinth base add both comfort and style to any room. The chairs are shown in Bonn Birch with a sealed Walnut exposed wood base.

I love the look of this chair and how comfortable it is. With the tight back / tight seat offering, it makes it easy to add fun accent pillows or a cozy throw blanket. Also, the exposed wood on the base of the chair adds an extra detail that makes the chair stand out. It is a wonderful option to include in any design since it can look more traditional or contemporary depending on the fabric and wood finish selections.

Carol’s Favorite Find

The Cadence Canopy Poster Bed by Century Furniture features a Mocha Oak finish and an Antique Brass canopy. It can be customized with various wood finishes and fabric options for the headboard.

The bed is simple yet elegant. The oak wood and fabric headboard give it texture, and the juxtaposition of the smooth metal canopy is a great way to combine materials. This bed can elevate any bedroom, whether it is a guest bedroom or a primary bedroom.

Carlita’s Favorite Find

The modern Kano Sideboard by John Richard Collection features a book-matched faux crocodile pattern across each pair of doors finished in variegated cream and white. The case is finished in antique beluga with brushed brass on the front molding and metal base.

I love the 3D crocodile heavy textured doors that are in a cream finish and accented with brass trim and brass legs. I think this piece would look great in any space where you want to have a dynamic and impactful look. The unique crocodile doors are absolutely stunning.

Kevin’s Favorite Find

The Paola Wing Chair from Verellen is my current favorite find. The classic silhouette of a wingback has been updated with a gracefully flared back and sweeping arms, complemented by splayed metal legs and a wood base. The curved lines and curly wool fabric make this chair incredibly inviting. It is the perfect statement piece for any space!
