Norwalk Furniture, an industry leader in custom upholstered furniture, will introduce new products at the Summer Las Vegas Market that are designed with an emphasis on comfort, form and function. The products will be on display in the company’s showroom located at showroom A225 of the World Market Center, Aug. 22 – 26.
“Norwalk Furniture is known for its comfort and style and based on the past year we have all endured, we know that these new pieces really deliver what consumers want both physically and visually,” said Caroline Hipple, president of Norwalk Furniture. “Out with the old, rigid, linear silhouettes and in with the unique, curvaceous designs that inject a newness and evoke relaxation in the home. From a textile perspective, we are highlighting a variety of rich, warm and inviting options, including boucle, a textured fabric that is modern and very cozy, making for an inviting combination on our new pieces. It’s a textile that is certainly gaining traction again and we are thrilled to feature a variety of options this Market to meet many different price points.”
The pieces feature a variety of warm textures including boucle – a heavy and functional, yet soft textured fabric made of looped yarn. Highlights of the new products include:
