A new contemporary upholstery furniture line, Gary George Designs, will launch during the Oct. 16-21 High Point Furniture Market.

The company will occupy a 2,100-square-foot showroom, IHFC-D702, where it will show designs by Founder and CEO Gary George, as well as those of two other celebrated modern and contemporary furniture designers, Stanley Jay Friedman and M. Fillmore Harty.

George brings 25 years of custom upholstered furniture production experience, which includes high-profile residential and commercial projects in deluxe locales, to bear on designs for the new, retail-focused company.
 
"Progressive styling with its modern edginess has a myth of hardness within the designs," said George. "Creating glamorous, comfortable upholstery is paramount to my collection."
 
Ten upholstered groups plus occasional seating are planned and will feature sofas, sectionals, lounge chairs, ottomans, dining chairs and barstools.  A wide range of in-stock covers include Ultrasuede.

"Ultrasuede lends itself toward our styling and for this reason was one of the first fabrics to be put into our line," George said. "Ultrasuede has a great color range which makes for an exciting showroom presentation."
 
Orders for the new offering ship within 30 working days, and additional custom capabilities around frame sizes, COM, and exclusive styling are available.

"We are capitalizing on the need for a new middle to upper-end fabric-based, contemporary upholstery resource in the residential retail segment," said Jerry Greenblatt, vice president of sales and marketing for Gary George Designs. "This is a fresh look for the marketplace, filling the niche of special order upholstery proudly made in the USA."
