Henredon teams with Scalamandré
By Susan M. Andrews -- Furniture Today, January 28, 2007
High Point — Two high-end suppliers, fabric source Scalamandré and furniture source Henredon, have joined forces on a collection of furniture debuting at the spring market here in March.
Tom Tilley, president and CEO of Henredon, and Mark Bitter, co-president and CEO of Scalamandré, announced the Scalamandré by Henredon collection at a launch party Jan. 24 in Scalamandré's New York City showroom.
The initial collection will include 25 upholstered and exposed wood pieces. A second phase will roll out at the fall 2007 High Point Market, and accent pieces and decorative accessories will follow to complete the luxury offering.
"Joining forces with Henredon brings together two American icons in the luxury home furnishings industry," Bitter said. Scalamandré has produced luxurious fabrics, trim and wall coverings for 77 years and Henredon has specialized in upscale furniture for more than 50 years.
Scalamandré says its textiles, trim, wall coverings and upholstery collections are rooted in traditional design with an emphasis on high quality and unique historical perspective. The furniture collection with Henredon will be inspired by this same traditional background but also will include transitional pieces with an updated aesthetic.
"We welcome this partnership opportunity," said Tilley. "Like Henredon, Scalamandré is highly respected for design excellence and very high quality. Interior designers have always been key supporters of Henredon throughout the years. This new venture reinforces our commitment to them by creating a dynamic source for exclusive and unique product."
Interior designer Jeff Lincoln, principal of Jeff Lincoln Interiors in New York, is the design consultant for Scalamandré by Henredon. He collaborated with the design teams at the furniture manufacturer.
In addition to the Scalamandré by Henredon debut collection, a custom program also will be available that will incorporate a wide range of design elements for customers who would like to create their own pieces.
Scalamandré by Henredon will launch in 13 Scalamandré showrooms and nine agent showrooms. Additional distribution, including Henredon showrooms and select retail channels, also is being explored.
