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.

New 699-606 Chin Hua Bunching Cocktail table shown in our Desert Finish. Love how the Ziricote veneer through the middle of the piece is set off in this lighter finish with the banding in Primavera. Really shows how the different wood species work together.
