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.

Tricia’s Favorite Find

The Tilda Large Chandelier by Arteriors is my favorite find. This rustically refined chandelier instantly transforms a space. A real statement piece! The multi-tiered form features whitewash-stained wooden dowels, finished in white, on curved and pliable iron arms.  The wooden rods will arrive with a series of inherent fissures and cracks that will widen and multiply over time. This is considered a natural occurrence and is both beautiful and intentional.

The Tilda has been one of my favorite chandeliers for a long time. It is a stunning, dramatic modern light during the day. At night, the way it interacts with its surroundings creates a branch-like shadow, almost like a spiderweb.

The Renalto Bar Cabinet by Old Biscayne Designs is on display in our Denver showroom in an obsidian oak and sierra whitewash metal finish. It features a lit-up interior, wine glass hangers, storage drawers, and a mirrored back with adjustable shelves.

Farin’s Favorite Find

The Roxy Swivel-Tilt Tub Chair by Thayer Coggin is a contemporary creation with a timeless design. Initially designed in 1965 by Milo Baughman, the Roxy swivel-tilt chair is a modern classic. Featuring wood, metal, or upholstered base options, button tufting, and a unique swivel tilt mechanism, Roxy is as timeless as it is comfortable.

Not only is the Roxy swivel-tilt chair very comfortable, it is also the perfect scale for spaces needing a slightly smaller swivel chair without compromising on comfort for people of any height. They are perfect to pair up at the end of a bed, or can easily be added to any space as an accent chair.

Carol’s Favorite Find

The Tatum Swivel by Century Furniture is part of their T-Chair series. It has different arm and base options you can choose along with different cushion options to fit your comfort.

The versatility of the options available really makes it feel like a built-for-me chair.  It is oversized and great for curling up to read, nap, or watch TV.  They now also offer a petite version which is perfect for when you want the look and feel but you do not have the space for a larger chair.

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.

Marcy’s Favorite Find

The LAX Modular Sectional from Thayer Coggin features an architectural, cantilevered, solid maple base paired with smartly tailored upholstery. Extra soft and inviting poly blend down seat and back cushions provide LAX with a soft touch and easy comfort. Customize this sectional by choosing from sixteen distinct modular units to create the perfect configuration. Thayer Coggin also has fabrics that carry the same vibe as all of their beautiful handcrafted products. These fabrics can also transform all of their pieces into the classic modern design they proudly portray to the world.

Thayer Coggin created this clean line collection with style and comfort in mind. This striking frame is a dream to sit on with family/friends or relax by yourself with a glass of wine. Whichever scenario, the LAX will pull you in and will always be a favorite piece of furniture in any home.

Kevin’s Favorite Find

The Panache Swivel Chair from Wesley Hall is one my favorite pieces. The combination of the comfort down seat and goose down back is truly comfort at its best. This swivel mechanism gives you the ability to move and engage with anything that may be going around you from conversations with friends to taking in the scenes from around you.

The beveled arm detail lends the chair to fit into any style, from traditional to contemporary, depending on the fabric. We chose a colorful, fun, bold print for this chair for a statement piece and to showcase Wesley Hall’s exquisite tailoring.

Steven’s Favorite Find

Rene Cazares has been creating exceptional custom upholstery for over 34 years, and this 2-piece Carbon Sectional is a great example of his style and timeless craftsmanship. Key features to note about this collection include a wide arm that is perfect for your guests to sit on during parties, an oak arm tray for your coffee, trillium cushions for extreme comfort and minimal maintenance, and a sleek design that can work in a transitional or modern space.

As the C.A.I Designs upholstery buyer, I am always in search of a sectional that offers a wide array of standard components, stocked fabric selections, comfort, and great design. The Carbon collection is the perfect example of this. If the overall frame depth of 46” is too large for your space, we can look at the Fractured sofa/sectional series, which will sit just like the Carbon but at a 40” frame depth.

We are excited to offer Rene Cazares at C.A.I Designs.  This brand is a fabulous addition to our extensive upholstery line up.
