It’s a whirlwind autumn at Eichholtz, with the launch of the new En Toute Élégance collection of furniture and accessories and the debut of the third season of The Met x Eichholtz Collaboration: Into the Galleries, a partnership that reinterprets The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s treasures for a modern audience.
The luxury furniture brand has also opened new stores in Atlanta and Las Vegas and has announced a collaboration with New York-based designer Vanessa Deleon for a case goods collaboration that will debut at the High Point Market next autumn.
And speaking of High Point, Eichholtz will welcome New York-based designer Corey Damen Jenkins in advance of the debut of his lighting collaboration with the company in January at Maison & Objet.
Jenkins will participate in several events during High Point Market, including a conversation with “A Well-Designed Business” podcast host LuAnn Nigara at 11 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 26 at the Eichholtz showroom. During the talk, titled “The Business of Being Extra: Scaling With Strategy in Design,” Jenkins will explore the factors that make a designer attractive to partners and share how to negotiate meaningful, long-term collaborations. He’ll also offer a candid, behind-the-scenes look at the life of a top designer. Following the chat, Jenkins will sign his new book, “Design Reimagined.” (RSVP required.)
Ahead of High Point Market, Eichholtz has announced a new loyalty program for interior designers to “strengthen trust and reward the brand’s most valued professional partners,” according to the company. The program has a two-tier structure with free shipping on qualifying orders for both Silver and Gold members.
In addition, the company has expanded its Eichholtz Atelier program to meet demands for greater personalization, expanding the number of bestselling silhouettes for customization. Eichholtz is also offering a new option: Order your item in muslin if you want your preferred upholsterer to reupholster it in the fabric of your choice.
En Toute Élégance
Eichholtz says the new En Toute Élégance collection “takes its inspiration from the timeless allure and sophistication of France — from the grandeur of Parisian boulevards to the breezy glamour of its iconic seaside resorts.” Many pieces were designed to reflect the travels and experiences of Theo Eichholtz, late founder of the company. The collection, which includes upholstery, case goods, art, lighting, rugs, outdoor and accessories, balances couture-inspired textures with relaxed, livable designs. In the Rubicon case goods range, hand-laid wood veneers create rhythmic, mosaic-like surfaces; pieces in the Azura & Kallisto range are inspired by the rock pebble beaches of the Côte d’Azur. With the Ombia and Hampton outdoor sets, Eichholtz brings French elegance to teak loungers and rope-woven seating.
The Met x Eichholtz
Eichholtz describes the latest iteration of its ongoing collaboration with The Met as taking a more “expressive and interpretive approach, while continuing to draw inspiration from The Met’s vast holdings spanning continents, centuries and cultures.”
The collection includes upholstery, case goods, lighting, art and accessories.This year, Eichholtz has hired celebrity designer and stager Cheryl Eisen, principal of Interior Marketing Group, to be design ambassador. Eisen has curated a Met x Eichholtz apartment at 111 West 57 in Manhattan to celebrate the launch in a stunning setting while demonstrating how The Met x Eichholtz pieces can live seamlessly in contemporary interiors.
