Inspired by the easygoing architecture of America’s cottages, bungalows and riverside homes, A.R.T. Furniture’s Summer Creek collection offers a fresh take on the relaxed “new traditional” category, bringing a light tone, inventive perspective and livable scale to an expanding marketplace. The 73-piece Summer Creek collection includes bedroom, dining room, living room, upholstery, entertainment, office and outdoor. The predominant material is scrubbed oak in an open-grained, sun-washed stain with light cerusing and bold distressing. The oak is complemented with painted accent pieces in Scrubbed Oak, Harbor White and Hale finishes.
Freely borrowing from the classical architecture of Europe’s most beautiful cities, Arch. Salvage reinvents traditional style with confidence and sophistication. The collection is rich in repurposed details: carved corbels on a dresser inspired by a neoclassical marble mantel, a cedar-lined storage compartment hidden in the footboard of an imposing bed, carved scrollwork recalling the beauty of a cast iron railing. The architectural theme is reinforced with a soft, earthy palette and gently weathered finishes.
When looking to the future, the best inspiration can often be found by gazing toward the past. Inspired by the simple grandeur of centuries gone by, the Newel collection reinvents historical style for the modern era. This collection draws heavily on the sturdy elegance of 19th century Louis Philippe style, borrowing its simple ornamentation and emphasis on materials to evoke a sense of classic European comfort. Traditional cherry wood allows the Newel collection’s subtle hardware, paneling and molding details to shine, providing the perfect complement to a variety of transitional and traditional styles.
