Claudia’s Favorite Find

The Gaston Platform King Bed by Verellen is my favorite find this month. The oversized head board is so inviting, and the stunning curvilinear back adds a touch of sophistication to any bedroom. The fabric is a soft boucle, and the wood detail from the back makes it a personal favorite from Verellen.

The bed is oversized, but the style is timeless, and the fabric is a blend of linen and wool, so comfortable to the touch. Great to lie in bed reading on a Sunday afternoon.

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.

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 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.
