By Home Furnishings Business in Case Goods on February 2007 Habersham Furniture Co., a high-end specialist in hand-painted reproduction and original design case goods and occasional, will expand its Claude Monet Collection licensed line at Spring market in High Point with the “Monet’s Journeys” collection.

The new designs include more than 20 pieces reflective of the environments, and the paintings they inspired, during the Impressionist master’s travels to the rugged Normandy Coast and parts of the Mediterranean during the late 1800s.

Pieces range from occasional accent tables, chairs, mirrors and chests to grand-scale entertainment centers, bookcases and wall units, and will be showcased in the company’s newest Habersham Home “French Country” presentation in the showroom located in space 142 of Market Square.

“The new ‘Monet’s Journeys’ collection draws on Monet’s travels and how the environments he frequented influenced his paintings,” said Tom Skipper, vice president of sales and marketing for Habersham. “The new direction for the collection provides the design team with a rich palette of masterworks, landscapes and styles. We are able to create truly unique designs that invite today’s consumer to bring an Impressionistic touch of color, texture and casually elegant styling into their homes.”

Habersham launched the Claude Monet Collection in 2000 with a series of designs inspired by the Impressionist’s famed home in Giverny and the works he created during his time there. The company has continued to add designs over the years reflecting the Giverny home, its furnishings, surroundins and other important works by Monet. Plans call for continued expansion of the collection with new additions to the Monet’s Journeys collection at future markets.
