The New Design Launches Worth Knowing
Fall’s design introductions arrived in force this week. From hardware’s increasingly imaginative turn to a highly anticipated furniture collection from Heather Chadduck Hillegas and a flurry of launches from Sunbrella, these are the products that caught our editorial eye.
Just in time for High Point Market, celebrated designer and stylist Heather Chadduck Hillegas has unveiled a furniture collection with Bassett. Rooted in traditional silhouettes and classic English details—including generously rolled arms—the pieces are designed, in Hillegas’ words, to become “the new staples of American decorating.” We’re betting the collection will generate the same kind of enthusiasm as DuVäl Reynolds’ collaboration with Sherrill, which debuted last spring. See it this fall in Bassett’s new High Point showroom, M-101.
Modern Matter wows again, this time with a striking new collaboration with Schumacher. Crafted in solid brass and inspired by the sculptural forms of American jeweler and silversmith William Spratling, the collection brings tactile depth and architectural presence to one of design’s most creatively charged categories. Available beginning September 30th.
Sunbrella has jumped to the head of the class in product development, introducing four collections in just two weeks. Among them: a collaboration with Society Social, a third release with Kelly Ventura and a new interiors collection that expands the Sunbrella universe well beyond the expected.
Designer-founded architectural felt manufacturer FilzFelt has expanded its customizable Acoustika 10 acoustic wall panel system and introduced Rille 7, the newest pattern in its Rille collection. We especially appreciate the combination of visual interest, acoustic performance and wool felt—a more sustainable material choice—along with the ability to tailor the design to virtually any space.
Hudson Grace has climbed into bed and bath with a collection of European-made cotton bedding and towels—and a fearless approach to color that makes the category feel anything but expected.
