Bill Cubberley Named President of Spectra Home

The company will show for the first time at the upcoming Las Vegas Market, inside the Palatial Furniture showroom, in space A-1052.

Cubberley, who has been tapped to expand Spectra Home’s presence in furniture stores across the country, is the former president of Nathan Furniture, an upscale British case goods producer. His furniture industry career spans some four decades, including stints at Royal Patina, A-America, and Orient Express. He is best known for his many years as senior vice president of sales and marketing at Stanley Furniture.

“I’m very excited to assume this new role at Spectra Home, and to be able to introduce the brand — long a private-label, fashion-house — to independent furniture dealers,” Cubberley said. “Spectra Home is a brand right for the times, particularly in light of consumers’ growing interest in quality furniture. Everything we produce is bench built, 8-way hand-tied, with spring down core cushions, and either feather or down or blend-down backs.

“This is furniture with a luxurious look and feel typically associated with specialty retailers and catalog houses, sans the outrageous price tags. Shoppers can feel the difference and they immediately recognize the value.”

The company is based in High Point, N.C., and has warehouses in High Point and Santa Fe Springs, Calif.

At the Las Vegas Market, which begins Sunday, Spectra will be featuring the Tyler chair and Celeste sofa, both of which feature natural linen covers and nailhead trim. In addition, the company will feature the Marche upholstered chair, which has a linen/cotton cover and distinctive wood turnings.
