Interior designer Julie Browning Bova has created first branded collection of home furnishings for
Stanford Furniture.
Debuting at the
High Point Furniture Market in April in the Stanford Furniture showroom located at 435 North Wrenn Street, the collection features 37 pieces of bedroom, dining, and upholstered furnishings. The Julie Browning Bova Home collection mixes classic and modern aesthetics while combining the unique features of antiques with modern fabrics, finishes, and detailing to create pieces with wit, whimsy, and style.
My new collection is classic, modern, bold, feminine, elegant, surprising, and timeless, Bova said. It is inspired by favorite collected treasures that I have acquired from my family, found in antique stores and in my travels. These pieces made a lasting impression on me and created an I have to have IT moment. My furniture collection comes with a designers promise of great thoughtthought of function, design, and placement in different types and styles of homes, incorporating subtle details to keep them fresh, timeless and transitional.
Bova has been an interior design professional for more than 20 years. Located in Indianapolis, Indiana, her company has worked with commercial and residential clients from Michigan to Florida, offering design expertise to a range of projects, from luxury homes to metropolitan landmarks.
Bova's collection is the third designer-licensed group for Stanford Furniture, a producer of dining, occasional and custom upholstery. Bova will be at the market and will greet Stanford's retail partners at a Saturday, April 2, reception.
Six vignettes will showcase a range of occasional and upholstered pieces, including sofas, chairs, ottomans, and a daybed. While some selections conjure classic images of old Hollywood, others add a modern splash of color, like a classic Italian chair refinished with crisp cotton in bright orange.
This collection abounds with the inimitable energy and passion of the designer and has something to offer everyone, said Randy Short, president of Stanford Furniture. Julies vision encompasses a myriad of styles and its eclectic nature is a perfect fit for our diverse design clientele.
Every room should tell a story and reflect the owners passion, Bova continued. It should not be too decorated, but look warm, layered and collected. My new collection is sensitive to that and places particular emphasis on pieces that are functional, elegant and specialtreasures you would be proud to add to your home.
