NEW YORK
- In addition to presenting rugs, broadloom and decorative pillows as a
first-time exhibitor at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair
(May 16 to 19) at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, Nourison got
double exposure during New York Design Week at the Calvin Klein
Home-sponsored VIP lounge at the Collective Design Fair held May 13 to
17 at Skylight Clarkson Square in SoHo. At Collective Design, rugs
produced in a licensing program with Calvin Klein Home were used to
anchor conversation seating groups, as shown as a sneak preview to a
scheduled trade launch in October 2015.

First day
traffic at ICFF impressed the Nourison team manning the company's
cram-packed booth. "People who stopped by were very interested in doing
business. They were not casual buyers. The big hit by far was the City
Chic rug collection by Michael Amini," said Jeff Gonzales, director home
furnishings sales/director Latin American sales. Crafted of hair on
hide which is distressed with a metallic finish and a motif of hexagon
tiles, the rug was a magnet for designers, according to Nicole Costello,
the company's New York showroom manger.
"A
big surprise was the response to the new Mini Victory Couture pillow
collection," explained Patrick Carroll, account executive at Nourison.
Launched at High Point Market last month, the collection winners are
laser cut leather, beaded hair on hide, sheepskin and lambskin styles.
COLLECTIVE DESIGN SHOW
Downtown
in SoHo, the three-year old Collective Design Fair attracted a high brow
crowd art and collectible designs from the early 20th century through to
present day works. At the Calvin Klein Home VIP lounge, guests relaxed
on new furniture and accessories from the designer's collection.
Conversational seating groups were anchored with new rugs which will
officially be launched in October.

The Lucia Collection shown at Collective Design
will be launched this fall.
|
Featured were two rugs from the new collections: The Lucia collection
and the Varick collection. Another collection, Moritz will also debut
in October.
The fair
was the first of several events scheduled in celebrations for Calvin
Klein Home's 20th anniversary.
