High Point Highlights: Approaching The Final Design Stages On New Intros

Habersham Biltmore Sheraton Twin BedsWe’re putting the finishing touches on many of the introductions we have planned for Spring High Point Market.  One we’re especially excited about is the new Sheraton Twin Bed, which is joining our Biltmore ® Chateau Reserve Collection.

I’ll post a final photograph when the design is completed, but this rendering gives you a sneak preview.    Like all the designs in our Biltmore Collection, this one takes its inspiration from the renowned hospitality, architectural influences and styles that have defined the landmark Asheville, NC estate throughout its history.   Specifically, this design was inspired by one of Biltmore’s grand guest bedrooms – the Sheraton Room.

It is a neoclassical design in the style of Thomas Sheraton, one of the foremost English furniture designers at the turn of the 19th century.   When completed,  it will be shown in our Antique Honey finish with gold accents.  As with all designs in our line, it may be ordered in any of our 39 custom finishes or your choice of tones designed to match any of those from the vast Benjamin Moore/Sherwin Williams color palettes.   As you can see from the sketch,  the twin beds share a headboard and canopy.  In addition, there is a walk through on the baseboard.

Check back soon to see the finished design!

Trends Get Personal At High Point Market

December 23rd, 2011

Habersham American Treasures Sea Island King BedAccording to a recent article on the highpointmarket.org website, “Design leaders at the Fall 2011 High Point Market said home decorating is now far less about specific styles or periods, and more about putting a personal stamp on each room.

They interviewed designers and exhibitors at the recent 2011 October Market to get their take on style directions.  They said it’s less about following a fad, and more about feel-good comfort and simpler designs.”

This is a direction we’re certainly seeing here at Habersham.  From the simpler, cleaner designs found in the pieces in our American Treasures® collection of copyrighted designs to our expanding custom cabinetry capabilities, we’re constantly working to make sure we can help our customers put their own personal stamp on each room.
