Two Palms Casual Announces High Point Introductions

Furniture World Magazine

Two Palms Casual, the casual furniture division of Furniture Classics Ltd, announced that it will debut over 30 new items in High Point, adding to its rapidly expanding product line. Says Jeannie Bethel, national sales manager for Two Palms, “The response to the Two Palms division, which is just over a year old, has been amazing. One of the biggest trends in the furniture industry is the emergence of the casual lifestyle—bringing the outdoors inside and the indoors out. Our dealers are seeking to capitalize on this trend, and Two Palms fits the need with casual, yet refined styles.” Says Michael Ricks, president of Furniture Classics, “The Two Palms assortment adds a fresh, unexpected flavor to our dealers’ floors, especially to those not typically carrying ‘outdoor’ or ‘casual’ indoor furniture. While many manufacturers have stayed level or reduced their new introductions, we have rapidly expanded Two Palms to meet the growing requests of our dealers.” Two Palms will add 10 new pieces to its Key Largo collection, which is made of salt-water soaked rattan, giving it a unique ‘washed’ grey/beige finish that works well in coastal, mountain and cottage environments. New pieces being introduced include a bench, dining table, several new chairs and a settee. Key Largo is designed for use indoors or outdoors in a sheltered area. Also debuting will be ‘Monterey’, a new collection of all-weather wicker with clean lines and a contemporary/transitional feel. Monterey will feature a java-brown wicker finish, complimented with teak legs, and will be offered in both deep seating and dining options. Items will also be added to the South Beach and Martinique collections, both of which are made of natural woven rattan with pole rattan framing, and are suitable for indoor use. South Beach has contemporary styling and a sleek black finish, while Martinique is carried out in a warm pecan finish that works well in transitional settings. For the first time ever, Two Palms and Furniture Classics will share the same space in High Point, at Furniture Classics’ new 12,000 square foot showroom in Showplace, # 2401. A grand opening celebration with live music, hors d’oeuvres and drinks is planned for April 6th at 5 pm. For more information about Furniture Classics, visit www.furnitureclassicsltd.com.
