Bogart Makes His Sundance Debut

Furniture World Magazine

Nearly 50 years after his death, Bogie is still mingling with the stars – most recently at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. Signature pieces from Thomasville’s new Bogart Collection were selected to furnish the event’s Entertainment Weekly Photo Studio, where more than 500 celebrities, filmmakers and publicists from over 80 films visited to have their portraits shot. Sundance favorites including Jessica Lang, Kevin Spacey, Minnie Driver, Robert Downey Jr., Dustin Hoffman, Holly Hunter, Morgan Freeman and Olympia Dukakis were just a few of the stars who posed for famed celebrity photographer Chris Buck upon the Bogart Collection’s Contessa Banquette, El Capitan Bench, Mon Amour Chaise and other signature pieces. Photos taken at the studio were featured in Entertainment Weekly’s February 7 and February 28 editions. “Humphrey Bogart and Sundance are a perfect combination – Bogie had a passion for fine acting and filmmaking and a strong passion for unusual and challenging motion pictures,” said Mitch Scott, Vice President of Advertising and Brand Development for Thomasville Furniture Industries. “This was a wonderful opportunity to bring the Bogart Collection together with some of today’s most esteemed actors and filmmakers at the country’s premier celebration of independent films.” Thomasville Furniture is a subsidiary of Furniture Brands International (NYSE:FBN), the nation’s leading residential furniture manufacturer.
