The new bedroom, dining room, occasional and home office pieces are grouped into three unique new personas, each of which embody the influences of the iconic starlets whom left impressions of glamour, charm and class on American pop culture.
From bold and dramatic to soft and romantic, the three personas – Collette, Anastasie and Diamant – are designed to embody a well-traveled socialite who has curated a collection of home furnishings in her metropolitan home that tell the story of her travels across the globe.
“While the three personas are unique in their own right, they were designed to complement each other, just like today’s woman can take a classic little black dress and make it her own with an heirloom broach, a vintage scarf, a handbag from her recent trip to Italy, or those great boots from last season’s sample sale,” said Michelle Miller, director of merchandising. “The use of different finishes, materials and textures throughout the personas allows you to ‘dress it up’ or ‘dress it down,’ resulting in a very eclectic and glamourous – yet always classic – style.”
Collette, a bold and dramatic look, is characterized by its dark black painted finish which serves as the backdrop for pops of champagne, silver and gold, along with eglomise mirror details and floral carvings.
Anastasie offers a softer, romantic look with its creamy white finish that is accented with champagne and silver tipping. Several historical reproduction styled pieces in a two-tone finish are intermingled throughout, giving the group a bit of a traditional European cottage style. Additional design details include table tops with quatrefoil veneer patterns crafted with oak and a walnut inlay, carved chairs with acanthus leaf and scrollwork detailing and champagne tipped eglomise.
Offering a more metropolitan style, Diamant is anchored by a silver finish with undertones of gold and champagne. The group is complemented by a black accent finish, mirrored details, champagne metal finishes and a white eglomise process, accented with silver tipping. Several pieces also include reverse hand painted glass that resemble the look of marble.
To complete the look, Hooker Furniture is also introducing a variety of upholstery styles designed to coordinate with the three personas. Characterized by luxurious fabrics and feminine shapes, four sofas and five accent chairs are covered in a variety of neutral fabrics with a hint of shimmer. In addition, an assortment of ottomans and benches in bold color combinations and a variety of tiger and zebra prints will also be unveiled.
The Sanctuary collection can be seen in Hooker Furniture’s High Point showroom, space C-1058 of the International Home Furnishings Center.
