Happy Holidays from Century Furniture

On behalf of the entire 

Century Furniture family, 

we wish you Happy Holidays 

and a safe and prosperous new year!

From the Factory--December's Sparkling Finishes

This time of year everything seems to sparkle just a little bit more.  People are friendlier, stores try just a little bit harder, and we all take just a little more time to enjoy everything around us.  In our factories we are busy trying to get out all of the holiday deadline orders.  It's amazing how this time of year really makes you focus on home, and making sure it too has that extra sparkle.

So, with that in mind, I wanted to send out a few examples of our sparkling furniture!  I think they are the perfect inspiration for this time of year and hope that you will think so too.

Happy Holidays to you all!  May this season sparkle for you and yours.

Charlotte Moss Presents for DCOTA's Fall Market

With the colder weather starting to set in up here, what better time to be in Florida?  So when DCOTA was putting together the fabulous day of events for their fall market held on November 15th, Century was excited to be a part of it!  Introduced by Stylebeat blog's, Marisa Marcantonio, DCOTA presented Charlotte Moss as the afternoon keynote.  With a thoughtful discussion of inspiration and where it comes from centered around her new book "A Visual Life", Charlotte engaged the audience with her wit, wisdom, and beautiful imagery. Afterwards the guests were treated to a warm and tasty reception and book-signing in Century's showroom, where Charlotte's furniture for Century Icons is beautifully displayed.

Our special thanks to the DCOTA marketing department-Josh Fein and Cindy Amador, for your help creating a wonderful event.  Thank you also to Marisa Marcantonio.  

Scottsdale Hosts Juan Montoya

Happy post Thanksgiving to all!  The time after October's High Point furniture market leading up to the holidays is crazy.  There is so much going on, and so I am a bit behind in sending out this post about a wonderful event we hosted in our Scottsdale showroom with Juan Montoya on November 9th.  With over 125 in attendance for Juan's presentation and following for lunch in our showroom, it was standing room only!

Thank you to the Arizona Design Center for helping us put together such an incredible day.  Thanks as well to our incredible Century team- Sue Robisch, Gigi Seeger, John Welker, Mark Copeland and the whole team in Hickory who make it happen.

From the Factory--October 2012

We continue to see amazing pieces come through our factories.  It is incredible to see the different finishes and fabrics and how they are being used on furniture.  For those of us in furniture and design, the finish line is literally like a mini runway. Every day is fashion week for the home. At any given point the most beautiful finish combination will be waltzing around the plant on its way to a home somewhere.

Each week I will post some of these pieces here under the header "From the Factory" for you to see.  You can also see them on our Pinterest board @ http://pinterest.com/centuryfurnitur/

Hopefully they will inspire you the way they do us!

Fall 2012 Trend Report

Philadelphia Showroom Hosts Charlotte Moss

Century Showroom in Philadelphia welcomes Charlotte Moss

Last week our Philadelphia Showroom in the Marketplace Design Center, hosted a fabulous event with keynote speaker and Century Icon, Charlotte Moss.  With over 200 in attendance, attendees were treated to a wonderful presentation by Charlotte and a delicious reception by Marketplace Design Center!

With her new book hot off the press, Charlotte spoke about living a visual life and how our scrapbooks, collages and keepsakes inspire and influence our lives.  Titled "A Visual Life: Scrapbooks, Collages & Inspirations", Charlotte's presentation reflects a woman deeply connected to her environment and well versed in history as she discusses her own inspiration and personal reflections on design and style � and all the arts of living, from decorating to entertaining, gardening and more.

Witty, smart and funny, Charlotte Moss is indeed an Icon of good design and we are thrilled to be partnered with her on an exclusive collection of furniture, found only in Century Designer Showrooms.

Thank you to the Marketplace Design Center team for all their help with this fantastic event, especially, Diane Green.
