Lexington Home Brands To Launch Liz Claiborne Collection

Furniture World Magazine

The newest group to launch under the Liz Claiborne Home brand will make its debut during the High Point Market, March 26-April 1, at the Lexington Home Brands showroom, 1300 National Highway. The clean shape and silhouette of classic Louis Philippe styling looks fresh in an updated collection that encompasses bedroom, dining, home entertainment, home office and occasional furniture. “French Evolution is truly a fresh take on a classic, much like a reinvention of the little black dress,” says Lexington Home Brands CEO and President Phil Haney. “The slight French influence comes in a few of the simple details, such as the drape on a chaise back or the x-shape of a cocktail table base. It isn’t anything overt, but simple and tasteful.” “The Liz Claiborne Home consumer appreciates classic styles with updated attitudes that enhance her multi-faceted life,” says Virginia Bremer, licensing director for Liz Claiborne Home. French Evolution features cherry finishes accented by two painted pieces. The complementary upholstered collection offers fashion fabrics in new, fun colorways such as crisp black-and-white with a red detail; ivory and naturals; and terra cotta accented with soft spring green. A standout design from French Evolution is the breakfast bar for a master suite that includes a drop-down desk, a perfect place for coffee service, and even storage for a mini-fridge.
