In 2007, I introduced my wildly popular Manhattan Lounge Chair. In 2008, I added a Manhattan barstool and in 2009, the collection will expand to include dining chairs and a bench.
It would be easy to add and add until I could offer an entire houseful of Manhattan pieces, but my philosophy has always been to design individual, distinct pieces that can work with multiple design styles. The matchy-matchy pre-fabricated styling found in today’s big-box furniture stores lacks a sense of individuality and the element of true design.
Design concepts, like the Manhattan Chair, are rare. This particular chair lends itself to many different interpretations, so it was difficult to resist turning it into a 20-piece collection. However, this would not be attractive to my customer base of design professionals. I choose to remain true to my roots of designing accent pieces, not entire rooms of furniture. These accent pieces can take center stage in a room and work with a variety of styles.
I will leave pulling an entire home together to the creativity of my customers. I will facilitate this by offering them beautiful and unique furniture to work into their own masterpieces.
