Nathan Anthony to Unveil New Frames and Design Collaborations at June Market

April 28, 2021  by Laurie Northington in Business Strategy, Designer Weekly, Industry   

The generously scaled Michel-T sofa and chair, plush toy inspired Teddy swivel wing chair, hip modern Hela occasional chair, and curvaceous Embrace chaise are among the comfort-focused seating styles conceived by Nathan Anthony Creative Director Tina Nicole. 

“With the home continuing to serve as a haven, I’ve been paying attention to seat depth, double down cushion fills, extra surface padding, and cozy fabric covers like extra plush boucle,’ says Nicole. “Interior design clients want to live more fully in their spaces. People want upholstered furniture they can curl up into.”

Adding to the new items developed in-house, Nicole also collaborated with three interior designers and clients on a range of dramatic upholstered items.  

Nathan Anthony x Sanne Vloet x LP Creative: Dutch model Sanne Vloet and Lauren Piscione of LP Creative were set to create a new living space in Vloet’s Los Angeles home when the pair teamed up with Nicole to co-design a three-piece sectional inspired by the east-meets-west Japandi aesthetic. Freya, measuring 152-inches (W) by 102-inches (D) by 27-inches (H), is named for one of the preeminent goddesses in Norse mythology. It features a tight seat and back; large boxed accent pillows; and all double-down fill on its seats, backs, arms and accent pillows. It’s shown in an ivory French boucle.

Nathan Anthony x Cara Woodhouse: The Pilar upholstered bed, custom designed by Cara Woodhouse of Cara Woodhouse Interiors, is an update to Nathan Anthony’s Divano style, featuring pill-shaped edges which convey a look of the moment, at once modern and minimalistic. The headboard extends well beyond the width of the foot rails, and its linear-rectangular upholstery zones with rounded corners are separated by a refined metal accent. At 144 inches, the extra wide shapely headboard additionally features polished chrome metal accents. This modern platform bed style requires only a Queen-size mattress, which is recessed inside the platform cavity. It is shown in a Belgian ivory velvet.

Nathan Anthony x Jamie Derringer x Olivia Stutz Design: To amp up the drama, maximalists will be pleased with the selection of a bold fabric cover choice — such as an exaggerated diagonal stripe from Kelly Wearstler — on the new Jamie one-arm mid sofa and one-arm chaise; or, featured in a subtle solid, the minimalist will appreciate the new modern classic silhouette that defines this collection. Modeled after Nathan Anthony’s popular Gobi series, the arms and backs of Jaime were modified to accommodate large knife-edge pillows. Dropping the frame towards the floor, the new, oversized thick cushions become an invitation to sink in. For the benchmade upholstery specialist, all items in the collection are fully customizable.
