Sensual, Dramatic and Architectural Forms Highlight Caracole’s HPMKT Debuts

Furniture World News Desk on 3/14/2024

Inspirations from nature, gemstones and striking architectural forms come to life in the newest pieces from Caracole at High Point Market, April 13-17.  The furniture brand is known for creating sensual and dramatic furniture with luxurious finishes, bold lines and glamorous details, inspired by art, fashion and design.

“This season, visitors will be overwhelmed by a sense of luxurious comfort and surprised by the drama that is presented in some of our pieces,” said Caracole Creative Director, Trish Hayes. “Our commitment to elegance and feminine allure defines the essence of Caracole. We, however, have started a grand evolution for our brand that will retain the confident, playful and timeless aesthetic of each piece while presenting statement looks with even higher style, inspired by art and architecture, and featuring more bold colors, textures and finishes.” 

Taking flight is the company’s Mariposa Swivel Accent Chair (UPH-424-123-A), named after the Spanish word for “butterfly.” Fully upholstered in luscious Dark Taupe angora-like velvet, you will sink into its deep cushion and be wrapped in the chair’s curved back with graceful wings. The exposed wood frame and 360-degree swivel base are finished in Caracole’s shimmering Charcoal Leaf finish.

The Cabochon Dresser (CLA-424-013) is elegance personified. A contemporized version of a classic Bombay chest, its lustrous, rounded, piano-black frame is topped with highly figured black and grey stone. Eight soft-close drawers are curved to accentuate the sensuous nature of the piece. The final touches of Whisper of Gold spherical knobs and metal ball feet make this a collectible gem of a dresser. 

Reminiscent of the modern arcade bridge in the mountains outside the town of Eze, France, the Nexus Console Table (CLA-424-411) is sleek and statuesque – the perfect mélange of nature and architectural form. Its colorfully rich Green Onyx Marble top sits on a series of tall Brushed Deep Bronze metal arches separated by Brushed Gold ball accents. This sculptural piece is perfect at an entryway, behind a sofa or as a statement piece in an office.

Romance is alive with the debut of the Opal Bed (CLA-424-108 and -128). The voluptuousness of this bed is derived from its soothing lines, soft finishes and plump overstuffing of its sweepingly curved back. The luxuriousness of the bed is enhanced by being fully upholstered in Alabaster faux mohair velvet. Peeking from under the bed is a slim plinth wood base that glimmers in Charcoal Leaf. It is available in Queen and King sizes. 

New Line Extensions

Enhancing the romance of the company’s “Love Collection” are pieces that have been dressed in bold, shimmering finishes. Love At First Sight  (CLA-424-031) now glows in a full-covering of Oracle gold that accentuates the exquisite reeding on the drawer fronts with Whisper of Gold metal band detailing and designer legs. The piece has a gracefully rounded profile that is now dazzling in its design.  The nine drawers are felt-lined with under-mount guides.

Expanding the Boundless Chair grouping, this Boundless Chair interpretation (M100-419-032-C) is in Camel angora-like velvet with a thin birch frame and legs finished in Elegant Linen. This upholstered chair is distinguished by its high, angular back with winged tips, a piece designed to make a statement in any room. 

Whether clients are looking for bold, eclectic style with global references or want to celebrate modern simplicity through organic, sculptural forms, Caracole’s designs embody chic, comfortable living. All of Caracole’s pieces work harmoniously as a collective, or individually as the star of a space, blending textures and materials to add layers of sensory depth.
