The Compositions collection is designed to appeal to a more design-oriented consumer. The first offering, The Everly, is a modern spin on traditional designs.

“As we look at our portfolio of brands, they all have unique styles, but we want our designs to be able to work together, across portfolios, with a look and feel that speak to different design elements, yet having an interconnectivity that can work together within the home” said Scott Smith, Caracole president. “Compositions will be more focused for the consumer who is interested in elegance, shape and movement; whereas Caracole is known for its more contemporary, clean lines and unique finishes. Ultimately, we want customers to be able to mix pieces from Caracole with pieces from Compositions to create striking design statements.”  

The company plans to expand its portfolio with whole-home collections.

The Everly makes a statement of grandeur by marrying dark wood with scrolls, rich fabrics, and complementary accents for bedrooms, living rooms, or dining areas.

“I am excited about this collection because I love juxtapositions in design, blending the look of French curves with linear lines, or pieces that feel both masculine and feminine, or mixing textures to make dramatic statements that fit today’s homes,” Neal said. “I think about what my clients would want. I think about how pieces translate into a family’s lifestyle. My goal with this collection was to create pieces that are useful and functional, but have a timeless beauty to them.”

Caracole will host a party during High Point Market, Saturday, April 16 4-7 p.m in its C500 IHFC showroom to showcase the collection.
