Lacquer Craft will showcase The Metropolitan Home collection at next week's High Point Market.

Partnering with Hearst Brand Development,  the company will offer to groups - Tocara and Savona. Both groups will feature case goods, upholstery and occasional pieces inspired by modern design.

Tocara is constructed of quarter-sawn white oak with an open grain Sumatra, a dark espresso finish and bronzed hardware. Details include invisible shelving hidden behind pilasters, adjustable lighting in a bed's headboard and concealed power units in a nightstand highlight the collection's combination of style and functionality.

 Savona case goods feature Zebrano veneers with a Divai, or deep red/brown finish and nickel-plated hardware. The clean silhouettes of the group's seating are wrapped in reclaimed leather and velvet, and a modular home-office unit with a hidden, pull-out work surface is one of the group's most unique designs.

 "The combination of luxurious materials, expert craftsmanship and sleek shapes reflect Metropolitan Home's emphasis on refined, contemporary design," said Glen Ellen Brown, vice president of brand development at Hearst. "Tocara and Savona are collections that can stand on their own or mix beautifully with other pieces to pull together a truly chic room."

Retail prices for The Metropolitan Home Collection range from $999 to $1,299 for dining sets; $1,999- $2,299 for bedroom sets $799- $2,499 for upholstered pieces. The collection can be seen at the Lacquer Craft USA showroom  at 115 South Hamilton Street.

"We are very excited to partner with Hearst Brand Development to bring the Metropolitan Home brand to life," said Randy Chrisley, president and CEO of Lacquer Craft USA. "Each piece in the collection delivers smart, beautiful, and versatile design-directly addressing what consumers are looking for today."
