The Bernice Bienenstock Furniture Library, High Point, honored Carl Vuncannon with the dedication of the Vuncannon Room on Oct. 20.
Vuncannon served as curator at The Furniture Library for 25 years, where his leadership earned him the respect of the furniture industry.
"Carl's service and dedication to the Furniture Library deserves to be recognized in a way that is befitting to his character. I cant think of a more appropriate way than naming our beautiful, new meeting room after him," said Karla Webb, present curator of the library.
The Vuncannon Room is a meeting room that will be used by colleges and universities, furniture industry organizations and businesses, as well as scholars and members of the design and art community.
"The most gratifying aspect of my employment at The Furniture Library was working with the colleges and students," Vuncannon said. "To know that I will continue to be associated with students, through the use of the new meeting room, is very rewarding."
With our newly renovated space and the addition of the Vuncannon Room, the library not only offers a world-class research facility but a place where the industry and those passionate about furniture and design can unite for meetings, conferences, design competitions and seminars.
