By Home Furnishings Business in Business Strategy on August 15, 2011 Home furnishings importer Aico has created an accent furniture division called Discoveries, Accents by Michael Amini.

The division is inspired by the travels of Amini, Aico founder and CEO.

"For years, Aico has been creating unique items within our collections," Amini said. "We felt it was time to focus on a new line of product offerings that targeted customers looking for products that address the needs their customers have for unique style, size and scale."

The pieces in Discoveries can work in any room and include accent tables, consoles, storage items, trunks, trunk cocktail tables and foyer tables, said Chuck Reilly, senior vice president of sales and marketing. Materials used in the products include shell, stone, and tile, and other exotic materials, along with ornate finishes and carvings. Discoveries has more than 50 items, showcasing designs from different parts of the world and different eras, Reilly said.

€œIt€™s not a matchy-matchy kind of ensemble of product," Reilly said. "It€™s a real eclectic mix of problem-solving tables and accents that people can discover on their own and fill voids in their assortment, or fill voids in their home."
