Intimate Luxury Redefined at Spring's High Point Market by Designer's Self-Monikered 'Barclay Butera Home' Line; BBH Announces New National Sales Manager
Designer and furniture manufacturer Barclay Butera, ASID, who always brings to High Point Market his elegant yet accessible approach to ‘fashion for the home’, will showcase his Barclay Butera Home (BBH) line in the context of a 1950s Parisian café feel – smoky, moody, established, cozy, a bit bohemian: an invitation to find a favorite personal corner to read or write. Transitional in both use and style, Butera’s concept of attainable and usable elegance takes the traditional, and pushes it to its outer limit. Rich fabrics, deep hues will be seen in such new items as the Avenue Armless Counter Stool, the Garcia Chair and the Somerset Single-Arm Chaise. Inspired by great rooms and mid-century homes, Butera has recently purchased Frank Sinatra's 'Twin Palms' home in Palm Springs, and Desi Arnaz Jr's Beverly Hills hillside home. ALSO, Tiffany Olsen has been dubbed new National Sales Manager for Barclay Butera Home.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 7, 2005 -- A favorite chair. A favorite corner.
Your individual space. Designer and furnishings manufacturer Barclay Butera,
ASID, who always brings to High Point Market his elegant yet accessible approach
to ‘fashion for the home’, will showcase his Barclay Butera Home (BBH) line –
formerly known as Butera Home Furnishings – in the context of a 1950s Parisian
café feel. Located at IHFC Interhall H103, Butera will transport attendees to
Café de Flore – smoky, moody, established, cozy, a bit bohemian: an invitation
to find a favorite personal corner to read or write.
Transitional in
both use and style, Butera’s concept of attainable and usable elegance in his
own BBH designs – and for interior design generally – takes the traditional, and
pushes it to its outer limit. At High Point, he re-interprets his established
clean-lined, tailored, detailed pieces – and adds stunning new items – by
enveloping them in beautifully rich fabrics and colors. Deep orange-cranberry
with dark chocolates and caramel hues are found in high-end fabrics, such as
rich red leather, croc leather and paisleys. These will be seen amidst a
combination of cranberry-painted walls, chocolate brown wainscoting and crown,
and dark wood floors. Barclay Butera Home is proud to present for Spring’s High
Point Market:
- Avenue Armless Counter Stool: Extension of the Bel Air
collection and the popular Avenue Chair. Developed from countless requests for
counter stools, as ‘cocktail hour’ is revived and also to provide seating at the
counter area between living and kitchen spaces. Excellent piece for ‘great
rooms’. Classic Barclay Butera with X-bracket base in dark finish, classic
tapered leg, squared back, and antique brass nailhead detailing. Also comes as
bar stool with arms. Shown in Brompton Brown Leather (17” x 23” x 47 1/2”).
-
Garcia Chair: The beautiful richness of an old leather club chair; transitional
in use and style. A Cuban mustache-type back with stamped croc leather, and
tapered legs in dark finish. Shown in Brompton Crocodile Leather (36” x 36” x
32”).
- Somerset Single-Arm Chaise: European influence with Butera’s twist of
Hollywood Regency. Developed for bedroom or bathroom by those wanting to augment
the luxury of their personal space. Can also be used for the living room – enjoy
a pair with opposite-facing arms. Tightback, tufted chaise with double turned
legs in dark finish with antique brass casters. Shown in Oyster Belgium Linen
(33” x 62” x 37”).
- Avenue Chair: For that new loft that requires
transitional, very clean-lined pieces, the Avenue Chair fits the bill. Features
X-bracket base, black wood finish, and nickel nailhead. Shown in Oyster Belgium
Linen (25”x35”).
Butera focuses – both personally and in business – on
the home as personal haven and inviting gathering space. Having recently
purchased both Frank Sinatra’s Palm Springs famed retreat ‘Twin Palms’ – where
he lived with Ava Gardner – and the 30-year, hillside home of Desi Arnaz, Jr.,
intimacy and nesting are at the forefront of his thoughts. He is redecorating
these classic, mid-century homes in the Hollywood Regency style that continues
to inspire him and his customized furnishings designs over the last few years.
Hollywood films of the 1930s and 1940s and the Parisian café scene evoke images
of great rooms where people gather and socialize. Barclay Butera actively
engages these ideas in his approach to design.
