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!

The Wesley Hall Jamestown Swivel in leather is my Favorite Find for this month.

A wonderful update to our best-selling Jamestown Swivel in fabric, now shown in a beautiful new leather called Pickett Nutmeg, with channel quilting on the outside arm and back. Also shown with nailhead trim along the wood swivel base, this chair has always been my favorite, and the new leather options give it a whole new look and comfort!!

Kyle’s Favorite Find

The Edgewood Dining Chair by Lane Venture is my Favorite Find. It is hand-crafted from Grade A plantation-raised, natural teak and hand-woven synthetic wicker components woven to look like natural wicker. The synthetic wicker color is intended to blend well with both the teak in its new coloration and the “silver” it becomes as it is exposed to the sun.

Everyone wants a versatile dining chair, one that is easily cleanable, comfortable, and attractive. The Edgewood is perfect, with a rounded back that hugs nicely and offers a generous seat cushion. Originally designed for exterior use, it’s perfect for indoor dining as well. The soft golden-silvery finish of the weave blends beautifully with the teak in its natural finish or as it silvers with outdoor use.

Deborah’s Favorite Find

The Ravi Dining Table by Old Biscayne Designs is my Favorite Find. It features maple wood in a Sheer Night finish with a 60 gloss. While it’s a tricky finish to achieve, the result is truly beautiful! This new shape and style has just arrived in the Mart showroom, and I absolutely love the center leaf!

Nathan’s Favorite Find

The Focus x5 Chandelier by DCW éditions is composed of five luminous acrylic glass discs. Designer Yuji Okitsu was inspired by the beauty of planets floating in space when he created this fixture, reminiscent of soap bubbles suspended in air.

This product is a favorite of mine because its elegant design will add a level of beauty to any room it is hanging in. Each lens amplifies the natural beauty of the space by reflecting different angles of the room through each of the free-floating lenses.

Scott’s Favorite Find

The Villiers Armoire by Alfonso Marina was inspired by a jet turbine and has 1300 hand-applied pieces that decorate its doors, giving it its emblematic textured finish. Its distinct iron base has been cast in a mold to get its tapered shape and it is forged on-site in our factory foundry. It has a slate tabletop and upon opening the double doors, the inside is painted and can be delivered in a variety of different finishes.

The combination of materials and the ability to customize the interior color makes this piece my favorite find.

Nicole’s Favorite Find

The Dunhill King Upholstered Bed by Bernhardt is a bold and modern bed, on display in our Troy showroom in chocolate brown velvet. The wide footboard of this piece doubles as a built in bench for added seating, which is why it is my favorite find.

Connie’s Favorite Find

The Cornerstone Sectional by Century Furniture allows you to create a piece in the style you want, in the size you need and with all of the options you desire.

From the products, history, and craftsmanship, Century sustainability initiatives are some of the best in our industry. They have it all!   They have gone above and beyond, and then some, for each and every one of our customers.  

Century is one of the most universal brands in the upholstery options.  They can accommodate a lot of different shapes and sizes and heights of people on each piece.  That is not common, it’s hard to find a company that makes upholstery as universal and well as they do.  That is why this product is one of my favorite finds.  

When I sell the Cornerstone, and most other Century products, I usually get a “thank you” card in the mail from designer’s clients, stating just how comfortable, cozy, beautiful the products are and how much they LOVE them.  Always nice to hear!  Once they start with the Cornerstone in one room they want it for all the rooms. Thank goodness we have all the options to select from to make it unique for them.
