Furniture World News Desk on 4/10/2014

GuildMaster announced the winner of the “My GuildMaster Story” contest, which was run in conjunction with the Spring 2014 product launch during the High Point Market. Deborah Costa of Design Alchemy in Sacramento, California, won $1000 toward a future order by submitting the following:

“I fell in love with the Washington Sleigh Bed when it was first released. I’ve been haunted by the bed at every High Point and Las Vegas market since. When I decided to open a retail store, of course we put the bed right in the front so everyone can appreciate it. We don’t open until April 19th, but BAM! someone saw the bed in the window and already bought it. The Washington Sleigh Bed was first sale for our new shop.”

“We are thrilled by the stories submitted by our buyers. It is evident that the artisanal quality of each GuildMaster piece tells its own story, reaching beyond the original inspiration of the artisan that created it,” stated Margaret Powers, VP Sales and Marketing. “As the roll-out of the ‘Stories Made by Hand’ campaign continues we will incorporate these stories to enrich our marketing efforts.”
