Hooker Furniture reported that it will bring the rustic luxe style of the Urban Elevation collection to High Point Market. The compay says it is designed to  appeal to sophisticated professionals who want to capture the serenity of hometown charm and tranquil atmospheres, even in big city settings.

In a smaller-scale approach, Urban Elevation furniture pieces are crafted of resawn Maple, waxed and luxurious to the hand, along with waxed aluminum, small nails and solid maple hardware and exposed bolts. Soft, aluminum-wrapped legs distinguish the dining table, along with metal accents on other pieces.

“One of the key words in this collection is intentional,” said Cindy Hall, vice president of merchandising for Hooker, of the details ranging from hand-crafted finishes to deconstructed elements and planking that give an authentic wood story.

Adding to the serene, light color palette is a white plaster accent finish on several pieces including a chest, host chair and entertainment center, providing a cool contrast with the maple finish. Solid maple hardware with exposed rustic bolts on each end punctuates the look.
