Furniture World Magazine

Selamat Designs, known for superior quality, innovative design and inventive use of materials in all their furnishings, introduces several new collections at this October’s High Point Market, it was announced by Thatcher Davis, President of Selamat Designs. To kick off their sixteenth year of operation, Selamat Designs has created these collections to highlight their signature style of combining select timbers of mahogany and teak with rattan, leather, bamboo, marble and other exotic materials to create handsome furniture and accessories that reflect a confluence of cultures and global appeal. Featured Collections include: -The Manhattan Line, which features a comfortable dining room ensemble along with a pub table and bar stool.  This collection incorporates clean, modern lines while using more tropical materials.  The construction is split bamboo that has been laminated together to form a beautiful, yet tough, surface surrounded by hardwood framing.   The contrast of warm wood tones with black accents is understated and beautifully executed. -The Triple Pole Collection, which has a more masculine feel than traditional rattan furnishings.  The lounge chair and love seat sit low to the ground creating a comfortable and inviting environment that promotes lingering and relaxation.  The frames are constructed of high grade rattan pole wrapped in leather to insure a stronger bond and a quality detail.  This collection also includes an ottoman, occasional tables, dining chair and bar stools.  The backs of the chairs and table tops are constructed of tropical hardwoods and the cushions are upholstered in a high-grade leather.  The sturdy materials and the rustic look make this collection perfect for a comfortable den or game lodge.  In addition to these collections, Selamat Designs offers a diverse selection of casual furniture and accessories.  Spotlighted at this High Point Market is The Lazy Chair, which is slightly retro in design, but with contemporary materials and construction.  The frame is a powder coated iron frame with mahogany accents giving it a sleek look.  The seat and back are constructed with high quality bamboo poles curved in the seat for greater comfort.  This chair ROCKS!  Perfect for a veranda, promenade or porch, the lazy chair bounces you and feels reminiscent of a tropical mood. These collections of furniture and decorative accessories from original designs and classic adaptations can be seen at Suites at Market Square – G-740.  About Selamat Designs: Selamat Designs (www.selamatdesigns.com), a division of Dillon Davis, Inc., was founded in 1988 by San Francisco designer Vera Brown and purchased by Thatcher and Shannon Davis in 2004.
