Product introductions
Award-winning interior designer Victoria McKenney of Enviable Designs gets candid about the challenges and rewards of creating her debut furniture collection. Get her tips on working with manufacturers, identifying market gaps, managing costs without sacrificing quality, and the emerging trends she’s most excited about.
The embrace of nature, and consciousness of our impacts on it, are now an accepted part of the design discussion–whether discussing processes or final materials. But above all, nature is a never-ending treasure trove of inspiration, which those of the Art Nouveau and Arts & Crafts movements understood. CarbonShack, led by founder Stephen Pallrand, has been working and thinking through this lens for years.
Universal Furniture will introduce two exquisite new furniture collections during April Furniture Market: Griffith Park and Avaline. The collections exemplify Universal Furniture’s continued commitment to craftsmanship, timeless design, and unparalleled comfort with the design versatility that customers have come to expect from the company.
“Customers continue to tell us they want more cover options in dining chairs,” said Universal Furniture President Sean O’Connor. “We compiled our best-selling styles across modern and traditional designs, and created a domestic program that offers upholstered dining chairs and stools with the same craftsmanship as our special order sofas and chairs.”
