Hickory Chair Debuts New Collections and Textiles at Spring High Point Market

Furniture World News Desk on 4/24/2025

Hickory Chair is introducing a broad range of new designs and materials at this spring’s High Point Market, including additions to its existing collections and the launch of the new Tectonic Collection by Ray Booth. The company’s expanded offerings feature a mix of upholstery, case goods, and curated global pieces, alongside a selection of newly developed textiles and leathers.

Building on the original Ray Booth® collection launched in 2019, the Tectonic Collection introduces a lighter, more relaxed aesthetic while maintaining the architecturally refined character of Booth’s previous work. “We have truly infused comfort into every piece—it is expressed purely within the designs,” said Booth. The collection explores the intersection of construction, material, and comfort.

The company is also expanding its Hartwood and Trouvé collections. Hartwood, developed by Hickory Chair’s in-house team, draws inspiration from Southern European influences with designs that reflect Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian styles. Customization options include alternate finishes, base treatments, and hardware.

The Trouvé Collection—named after the French word for “found”—continues to feature handcrafted, artisan-made furniture using materials such as exotic stone, fine woods, hand-finished metals, and forged hardware. Each piece is designed to highlight craftsmanship and global sourcing.

Hickory Chair’s upholstery offerings have also grown, with new pieces for living and dining spaces. Highlights include:

• The Queen Dorothy Lounge Chair, featuring a scalloped skirt
• A new M2M Divan in the Kent series
• The Spindle Lounge Chair and Kyoto Bench, both with exposed wood details
• The Luna M2M Skirted Banquette Series
• The Violin Dining Chair and Belle Counter and Bar Stool Series

Textile introductions for Spring Market include new leathers in caramel and green tones, and fabrics in a palette of maize, soft blues, greens, blush, coral, and pinks balanced with neutrals. The lineup includes performance fabrics and velvets, including a floral print with animal motifs, alongside prints, embroideries, geometrics, and damasks.

“Hickory Chair is undoubtedly one of the leading design brands in the industry,” said Federico Contigiani, president. “Our company has long been recognized for its exceptional quality and impeccable designs. Over the past year and a half since joining Hickory Chair, it has been incredibly rewarding to collaborate with our talented team each season to invigorate the product line confidently with an exciting and diverse range of new offerings. One of our greatest strengths is our ability to provide highly configurable and custom products while also maintaining a curated selection of iconic, statement-making pieces available for immediate shipment. For 114 years, Hickory Chair has delighted design enthusiasts, and we are committed to building upon this rich legacy.”

He added, “A key part of this vision was to create an inspiring destination for the design trade at High Point Market—one that offers exceptional hospitality, a pleasant work space where one can recharge and be productive while sparking creativity. Our new High Point showroom at 200 N. Hamilton has become just that. I am confident that everyone who visits us this market will see and feel the extraordinary effort and vision that has now come to life.”
