<p> </p>
<p>Twenty years ago (in 2003), Marge Carson was the first furniture company to introduce a fully custom bedding collection that encompassed all fabrics, trims, and embellishments from their line. The legacy continues today. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Inspired by the shimmering night sky and featuring darker blue and black hues, the new custom bedding collection was designed to enhance the brand’s upholstered bed offerings. With more than 750 luxurious fabrics, trims, and embellishments to choose from, the handmade ensemble is comprised of a comforter, 3 Euro shams, 2 king flanged shams, a decorative accent pillow and a bolster.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“Our clients have requested new luxurious bedding collections that are congruent with our elegant bedroom furniture,” says Janet Linly, CEO of Marge Carson. “Noche was designed with opulence to perfectly balance soft and serene tones with evening hues ensuring any bedroom becomes a peaceful sanctuary.”</p>
<p>Noche translated in English means night - the period between sunset and sunrise - and the new collection reflects that vision. </p>

<p>“Retailers tell us that product availability and timely deliveries are their first priority,” said Jim LaBarge, Marge Carson’s CEO. “Beyond timely deliveries, they are looking for stability of pricing. Since we exited Asian importing and consolidated our production and warehousing in North America in early 2021, we’re able to achieve 8 to 14-week lead times on current and new products,” he said. “And because we don’t have the huge ocean freight costs, we’re able to offer very competitive values on custom-made products,” he added. At the April HPMKT in its 121 N. Hamilton Street showroom, Marge Carson will introduce two fashion beds, two new occasional table groups, several new upholstery offerings, four new finishes and multiple new fabrics. Highlights include:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>The Versailles Bed. </strong>Inspired by a top-selling sculptured sofa of the same name, this statement bed “has gotten rave reviews by all who have seen it because it combines luxurious upholstery with the ribbon-motif hand carved wood on the headboard with exquisite custom finish treatments,” said LaBarge.</li>
<li><strong>The Cascade Bed. </strong>Offering the same design theme as Marge Carson’s Cascade living room table collection with tailored upholstered bases, the Cascade Bed has vertical upholstered channeling on the headboard and footboard, along with wood trim with custom finish options.</li>

<ul>
<li><strong>Upholstery offerings </strong>include the addition of a chaise, chair-and-a-half and new Tribeca design to the popular Custom Couture line.

<p>“Customers have been euphoric about getting their furniture from us in an 8-week or shorter window, provided the fabrics are in stock,” said CEO Jim LaBarge. “We believe we are gaining market share, as we are hearing that many delivery times in the industry are stretching out to 24 and even 30 weeks currently.”</p>
<p>Since January, the company has relocated its headquarters to City of Industry and has been producing all upholstered furniture and its popular Palo Alto custom bedroom line in the high-craftsmanship area of Tijuana, Mexico. It is in process of opening a central distribution center in South El Monte, Calif. that will house all finished goods, fabrics, and a COM and sample department, to further improve customer service and freight transit times, LaBarge said.</p>
<p>At the HPMKT this week in its 121 N. Hamilton Street showroom, the Company will show its extensive line of sculptured sofa, sectional, chair and chaise silhouettes in transitional and traditional styles, adding to its over 700 fabrics, trims and leathers. In addition, Marge Carson is expanding its Solstice Bedroom and adding new product categories including occasional tables, a dining table and chairs and barstools:</p>
<ul>
<li>At the market, Marge Carson will add a dresser and nightstand to its upholstered Solstice sleigh bed and mirror with customizable bed bases, finishes and hardware that is part of the Palo Alto bedroom line. That line has 8-week delivery on beds and 8 to 10 weeks on the dresser, mirrors and nightstands.</li>
<li>The company will expand its new Cascade living room table collection with upholstered bases and mirrored, glass or wood tops. The upholstered bases are now available with channeled, tufted or box-quilted tailoring treatments on the base.</li>
<li>The Cascade collection will add a dining table and chairs.</li>
<li>The company will re-introduce its most popular upholstered barstools and counter stools.</li>
<li>Marge Carson will add mixed media to its custom Palo Alto Bedroom line including raffia, Ostrich leather and novelty leathers.</li>

<p>While the new Marge Carson upholstery silhouettes retain their characteristic sculptural design, “the frames also have a classic style and scale that would make them fitting for many types and sizes of homes,” Reed said. New trim tapes include ombre effects sprinkled with rhinestones, pearl-encrusted tapes and diamond-studded rosettes and sequined tapes.</p>
<p>Complementing upholstery with the Maison Collection is in a rich palette ranging from soft plums and lavender to merlot and charcoal. “These colors work so well with Maison, especially with the tonal gray finish,” Reed said. In addition, understated patterns of Brain Coral and diamonds accent the new frames, and “heavy doses of sequins and beads are splashes of glamour throughout to add to the glitz Marge Carson is known for,” she said. Other fabrics include printed velvets of aubergine and merlot to add depth of dramatic rich color, and copper shades mixed with charcoal marry back to the rich finishes of Dark Bay and Pumice. </p>

</div>Maison French Couture Collection Shimmers with Variegated Metallic Leaf Finishes2019-10-09T10:41:17-04:00vannoppenhttp://www.margecarson.com/blog/author/vannoppen/http://www.margecarson.com/blog/maison-french-couture-collection-shimmers-with-variegated-metallic-leaf-finishes/<h2>Maison Collection</h2>
<p><strong>OCTOBER 2019, HIGH POINT, NC</strong>: Leafed glass surfaces in metallic color tones exude a luminescent silver, gold and champagne palette in Maison, a soft transitional French couture collection debuting from Marge Carson at the October High Point Market.</p>
<p>Visual surface interest takes centerstage in the 35-piece collection of bedroom, dining room and occasional furniture, with tabletops and case fronts in variegated leafed glass finishes of Platinum, Bullion and Gun Metal, with options also available in antiqued or clear glass. The leafed glass surfaces are paired with rich wood finishes accented with metal leafing to convey depth and luxury. The look transcends expected furniture design by pairing the French technique of leafed glass, a traditional style element, with soft contemporary forms.</p>
<p>Adding to the mixed media feel and utilization of unique materials, a signature Demilune credenza has a shimmery Penshell surface in contrasting colors, along with an Alabaster Stone top.</p>
<p>“There’s a tremendous interplay of finish, leafing, mirror and materials to create visual interest,” said Chief Executive Officer Jim LaBarge. The custom leafing, combined with finishes and trims, makes each piece a work of art, as all leafing is hand-applied and each item is unique.</p>
<p>Maison silhouettes are soft and curvaceous with graceful shapes, tapered legs and additional surface interest from carved reeded case fronts on select pieces. Subtle style influence comes from both modern and historical French design, along with a dash of Art Deco. “Maison takes Marge Carson’s extensive customization capability to the next level,” said LaBarge. “Depending on the glass finish the designer or consumer selects, the look of Maison can range from Hollywood Glam to elegant contemporary to Metropolitan to Modern Casual.”</p>
<p>Added Creative Director Laurie Reed, “Maison is a play on gold and silver, as its leafed glass accents add a luminescent feeling throughout. Paired with rich wood finishes and metal leaf accents, Maison gives off a glamorous glow and depth of richness that conveys luxury. Maison is also soothing, natural and relaxing, evoking a similar feeling as looking at running water or reflective light.”</p>
<p><strong>Highlights of the Maison Collection:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Pieces: </strong>35, including bedroom, dining room and occasional.</li>
<li><strong><u>Design Elements: </u></strong>Luminescent Variegated leaf finishes of Platinum, Bullion and Gun Metal are paired with rich wood finishes accented with metallic leafing to convey depth and luxury.

Style influence comes from both modern and historical French design, with a dash of Art Deco.</li>
<li><strong>Finishes: There are 3 Variegated Leafed Glass Finishes including:</strong></li>
<li><strong><u>Platinum: </u></strong>This cool, silvery finish combines a platinum ground with flecks of rich gray and mushroom for an edgy elegant look. Platinum is paired with wood finishes and wood leaf finishes such as Contemporary Pumice, Slate, Bombay and Cashmere Silver. Lighter neutral fabrics, along with muted pastels and black and white, provide a luxurious backdrop for this finish story.</li>
<li><strong><u>Bullion: </u></strong>This deep, rich gold is accented with flecks of chocolate brown for a warm, luxurious effect. Bullion is paired with finishes like Briar, Contemporary Briar and Bombay, and finish trims include Cashmere Gold and Aged Medici. The essence of regal richness, Bullion is paired with an upholstery color palette of warm colors with umber and red tones and sparkling accents in places.</li>
<li><strong><u>Gun Metal: </u></strong>“Gun Metal is our fairy dust, whimsical finish,” said Reed. Used primarily as an accent finish, Gun Metal is a silver gray with a hint of powder blue and burnished gold accents. This is a lighter, more romantic look and is paired with Cashmere Silver.</li>
<li><strong><u>Hardware:</u></strong> Spanning the color wheel from warm to cool tones, Maison’s artistic hardware has an interlocking jewelry chain-like look on selected pieces. Other pieces have a love-knot shaped pull. With the Platinum leafed glass finish, the Matte Antique Nickel hardware finish is used, and for the Bullion leafed glass finish, Polished Bronzed Brass is used.</li>

<p><strong>OCTOBER 2019, HIGH POINT, NC</strong>: Marge Carson is showcasing the sophisticated sculptured shaping of its upholstered sofas, sectionals and chairs this market. “One way we are focusing on the shaped silhouettes we’re known for is by using a simpler approach to pillowing,” said Laurie Reed, creative director. “We are reducing the amount of pillows used per frame, and going to simpler and less complex pillow arrangements,” said. “In addition to pillows, we’re looking to trims like buttons, tapes, chords and other dressmaker details to add excitement for the couture look Marge Carson is known for.” In fact, Marge Carson is adding 18 new upholstery trims this market.</p>
<p>While the new Marge Carson upholstery silhouettes retain their characteristic sculptural design, “the frames also have a classic style and scale that would make them fitting for many types and sizes of homes,” Reed said. New trim tapes include hombre effects sprinkled with rhinestones, pearl-encrusted tapes and diamond studded rosettes and sequined tapes.</p>
<p>Complementing upholstery with the Maison Collection is in a rich palette ranging from soft plums and lavender to merlot and charcoal. “These colors work so well with Maison, especially with the tonal gray finish,” Reed said. In addition, understated patterns of Brain Coral and diamonds accent the new frames, and “heavy doses of sequins and beads are splashes of glamour throughout to add to the glitz Marge Carson is known for,” she said. Other fabrics include printed velvets of aubergine and merlot to add depth of dramatic rich color, and copper shades mixed with charcoal marry back to the rich finishes of Dark Bay and Pumice. <strong><u>Marge Carson Upholstery items</u></strong></p>
<p><strong>Giselle Sofa: </strong>A grand statement of shape and curves, the Giselle is an asymmetric left-and-right sofa with a high arm and low arm, sloping back and a curved Cashmere Silver plinth base. The body cloth is a metallic coral design performance fabric in shades of silver and pale plum. Pillows are quilted velvet in gray and pale lavender with a new beaded cord trim with metallic beads.</p>
<p><strong>Huxley Sofa: </strong>With an updated Neoclassic look and feel, the Huxley is the essence of chic elegance. A distinctive quality is the skirt treatment. The skirt wraps the base of the sides and back, but the slim tapered legs on the front are exposed. In a designer detail, the nailhead wraps along the front rail base and even surrounds the top inset area of each of the four carved legs. In a couture flourish, the bolster pillows feature Lucite tassels for an unexpected sleek touch.</p>
<p><strong>McKenna Sofa: </strong>Low and sleek with an Art Deco feel, the McKenna Sofa is a study in shape with convergence of shapes everywhere. The sloping, curved arms are slim at the top and widen at the front as they flair out. The bracket feet are overscaled and in a stair-step design. The body cloth is a performance fabric in a charcoal velvet with a luminescent quality, and the pillows are a printed metallic velvet.</p>
<p><strong>Burton Chair</strong>: Boxy, smart and architectural, the tight-seat Burton Chair has a Mid-Century look. The perfect frame for combinations of leather and plush chenille or velvet, Burton has slim, upholstered arms with tucked-away double rows of nailheads, a delightful tactile surprise as you sit in the chair and discover the detailed craftsmanship.

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The collection is named for Majorca, a beautiful romantic island off the coast of Spain with stone villages, wineries, citrus plantations and steep, stunning mountains beside the iridescent blue Mediterranean Sea.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">An abundance of scrolled and rope-twisted metal work on the occasional pieces and statement beds and a bench are reminiscent of the garden gates prominent throughout the landscapes of Southern Europe. The ironwork on occasional table legs and bases, bed posts and a spectacular panel headboard <g class="gr_ gr_78 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar multiReplace" data-gr-id="78" id="78">gives</g> an eclectic, updated Tuscan and Old World <g class="gr_ gr_79 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling multiReplace" data-gr-id="79" id="79">ambience</g> to the collection. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">“Majorca presents the casual traditional style so many designers and consumers are looking for,” said Jim LaBarge, chief executive officer of Marge Carson. “It is beautiful and distinctive furniture, yet it’s inviting and not overly fussy or formal,” he said. </span></p>

<li class="p4"><span class="s1"><b>Old World Drama:</b> A bold contrast, pairing the high-sheen Ebony finish with heavily gilded gold accents and leafing.</span></li>
<li class="p4"><span class="s1"><b>Casual Traditional:</b> Majorca is interpreted in lighter, drier, lower-sheen finishes in cream, gray and taupe tones such as Malt and Dapple, reminiscent of a birch-log color palette. Dark Bay, Sandalwood and Pumice play in the ash gray to cocoa brown tones with some light burnishing. Subtle leafing in antique silver and lighter champagne tones add soft elegance.</span></li>
</ul>
<h3 class="p3"><span class="s1"><b>Hardware</b></span></h3>
<p class="p3"><span class="s1">The dramatic, two-tone, custom-designed hardware includes ring pulls and key <g class="gr_ gr_65 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-del replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="65" id="65">pulls,</g> and combines antique nickel and antique brass.</span></p>

<p class="p1"></p>Architectural Forms, Juxtaposed Shapes and Textured Surfaces Give Sleek Contemporary or Warm Transitional Look to Marge Carson's Eclipse Collection2018-10-12T06:00:00-04:00vannoppenhttp://www.margecarson.com/blog/author/vannoppen/http://www.margecarson.com/blog/architectural-forms-juxtaposed-shapes-and-textured-surfaces-give-sleek-contemporary-or-warm-transitional-look-to-marge-carsons-eclipse-collection/<p class="p1"><span class="s1">OCTOBER 2018, HIGH POINT, NC – Simple yet dramatic architectural forms are the canvas, and textural finishes ranging from the warm greige Pumice to the stone-like Agate are the brush strokes that enable the new Eclipse Collection to morph from sleek contemporary to casual transitional.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1"></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Sweeping and flowing architectural shapes, particularly on some table bases, “have a wonderful juxtaposition in their balance, with the feel of the iconic Sydney Opera House in Australia, one of the 20th Century’s most famous and distinctive buildings,” said Michael Delgaudio, creative director. </span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1"></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Textural surfaces are prominent, from the highly-textured and sculptural hardware in tones of antique nickel or bronze to hand-woven textured surfaces on some case pieces, over which the finishes are applied. “With the architectural elements, you can combine the marbleized agate and light Malt finish with the cooler nickel hardware to take the collection sleek and modern, or play up the textural elements and warmer finish and hardware for a more casual and transitional feel,” said Jim LaBarge, chief executive officer.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1"></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The warmed gray of the primary Pumice finish is “perfectly timed for the transition we are seeing in the marketplace from gray to brown finishes,” Delgaudio said.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1"></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><b>Highlights of the Eclipse Collection:</b></span></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s1"><b>Pieces:</b> 21 pieces, including bedroom, dining room and occasional.</span></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s1"><b>Finishes:</b> Main finish is Pumice, a warm, gray-taupe multi-step finish with beautiful hand-work and graining. Secondary finish is Malt, a neutral, light, soft and warm white with gray rub-through. Accent finish is the dramatic Agate, a multi-colored, marbleized, stone-like finish in tones of black and gray.</span></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s1"><b>Hardware:</b> Highly textural and sculptural and an integral part of the design, shown in antique bronze or nickel.</span></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s1"><b>Lines:</b> Sweeping, dramatic and juxtaposed architectural shapes are used throughout the collection, especially on table bases and tops.</span></p>

For 2018 and beyond, Marge Carson and Carson upholstery will interpret the look in friendly, natural-fiber body cloths in rich neutrals, infused with luxurious accent pillows and trims in subtle, soothing tints of color. The pillow and accent palette includes tones such as dusted silver, lilac, slate, blush and terra cotta.</p>

<p class="p2"><span class="s1"></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The clean-lined, unembellished approach of Arcadia allows it to beautifully enhance a variety of interiors. “While influenced by European design and classic Greek elements, Arcadia is interpreted in a clean-lined manner that is more casual, enabling it to blend with traditional or transitional décor,” said Jim LaBarge, <g class="gr_ gr_36 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar only-ins doubleReplace replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="36" id="36">chief</g> executive officer of Marge Carson.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1"></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Crafted of Cathedral White Ash Veneers and European Beech solids, Arcadia’s main finish is an organic, soft brown tone called Mocha. Intriguing grain texture is enhanced with a hint of white glaze hang-up in the wood pores to add a relaxed approachability. </span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1"></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Greek motifs used in the 16-piece bedroom, dining room and occasional collection include the Greek Key, Greek rings <g class="gr_ gr_45 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="45" id="45">and</g> a Greek scroll shape.

The piece has clean, architectural lines with no hardware. </span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1"></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Media accents in Arcadia include steel, Michelangelo Marble, Brown and Silver Travertine and Antique Mirror with a pop of solid brass hardware.

<div class="column">
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">AT THE HIGH POINT MARKET, OCTOBER 2017 – Iconic luxury furniture brand Marge Carson, founded in 1947 by interior designer Marjorie Reese Carson, is celebrating 70 years of style leadership, custom design and defining the “California Casual” look.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1"> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">“During its 70 years, Marge Carson has continually evolved and adapted and has always pushed the envelope in developing exciting fashion-forward upholstery, unique fabrics and case goods collections,” said Jim LaBarge, chief executive officer. “Throughout our history, Marge Carson has remained the most design-forward company at the premium end of the furniture industry, by remaining in touch with the dynamics of the industry, as well as the evolving nature of consumers’ tastes.”</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1"></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">In recent years, under Jim LaBarge’s leadership, Pomona, Calif.-based Marge Carson has greatly expanded its product line, distribution and capacity, opening designer showrooms in Los Angeles and Dallas, and renovating its High Point showroom.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>In addition, the company opened an upholstery factory and finish facility in Mexico and a warehouse and artisan finishing facility in the Philippines. Marge Carson is a full-line resource including bedroom and dining room furniture, with a diversified product line reaching beyond European traditional to include transitional and even edgy styles. Prior to LaBarge’s ownership, Marge Carson was known primarily as a West Coast regional upholstery specialist. Under his leadership during the last 22 years, the company has so diversified its product line and expanded its corporate footprint, that Marge Carson is now international in its scope and influence.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1"></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">In the last few years, Marge Carson has added smaller and lighter-scaled furnishings, along with the generously scaled pieces it is known for. Last year, Marge Carson launched a new brand, CARSON, a concise and curated line of more affordable and moderately-proportioned furnishings without the multiple options of the regular line.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1"></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Marge Carson is perhaps most famous for developing a style of upholstery whose generous scale and casual elegance came to define the “California Casual” look. The look –characterized by larger proportions, ample cushions and a neutral palette of rich textiles -- was first developed by designer Marge Carson herself in the mid- 20th Century, to blend with the Pacific Coast’s more relaxed way of life and spacious houses. Transcending a strictly regional appeal, Marge Carson’s “California” style went on to sweep the country and influence interior design around the world. Marge Carson’s look today is considered inimitable. “When so much furniture looks alike, we truly stand out on a retail or showroom floor,” said LaBarge. “It’s a look defined by soothing neutral fabrics and tone-on-tone textures with pillows giving a pop of color, then adding the defining characteristics of unique finishes, jewelry-like <g class="gr_ gr_78 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="78" id="78">hardware</g> and designer trim details. It all comes together to create a look no one else has.”</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1"></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Along with the designer roots of the company’s founder, a tradition of family ownership helps define the character of Marge Carson. Believed to be the only major furniture manufacturer founded by an interior designer, the company has been family owned since 1947, except from 1987 to 1994, when it was owned by Masco Corp. Jim LaBarge purchased Marge Carson from Masco in 1995.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1"></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Since its inception, Marge Carson has been known for its made-to-order customization, allowing designers and consumers to design every detail of furniture to their liking, selecting from a palette of over 60 finishes and 25 decorative trims. Marge Carson even has the capability and willingness to make furniture of virtually any size. “We’ll make everything from a dining table for 40 people to a small table for a charming nook, and everything from a sectional that fills up a room to a loveseat or <g class="gr_ gr_66 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del" data-gr-id="66" id="66">setee</g> for a bedroom seating area,” LaBarge said. “Marge Carson is essentially a “bench-made artisan product line distributed nationally.”</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1"></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Over the years, Marge Carson has developed a reputation as “furniture for the stars,” and is shopped by celebrities in the entertainment, political and sports arenas. Customers include past and current U.S. presidents. Other celebrity customers, just to name a few, have included Miley Cyrus, Frank Sinatra and Larry King, along with numerous NBA, NFL, NASCAR and PGA sports stars.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1"></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">“This has been a very interesting and exciting time to be in the furniture industry,” said LaBarge. “We are looking forward to the next chapter in our company’s rich history.”</span></p>

At CARSON, two new sofas, two new <g class="gr_ gr_57 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="57" id="57">chairs</g> and a cocktail ottoman are being introduced, as well as 35 new fabrics.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1"></span></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s1">In fabrics, the customary Marge Carson rich neutrals are being accented this season with “hints of citron, peacock and black,” Rendino said. “We are definitely seeing black gaining prominence in home fashion today.”</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1"></span></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s1">Another color trend in the spotlight is rose gold. Rose gold will be the color theme of the Marge Carson showroom foyer this market. “Rose Gold is a nice, soft way to bring the blush color into the home in a more neutral way,” said Rendino. “Today’s rose gold is what we previously saw in copper, but taking the orange out for a more subtle, neutral and livable look with a more classic feel.”</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1"></span></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s1">At Carson, textural neutrals are accented with chenilles and linens, all in stain-resistant Crypton fabrics, making them casual, livable and family-friendly, Rendino said.</span></p>

<h2>Paloma Sofa</h2>
</div>
</div>
<p class="p3"><span class="s1">With metallic leaf fluted legs and plush tufting on the back and curved arms, the Paloma Sofa strikes a glamorous traditional note. Paloma is shown in two colorways. The first, a gold and black story, gives a nod to the growing use of black in home fashion and has an “Old Hollywood” feel. The body fabric is black velvet, and accent pillows include Carousel Citron, an oversized dramatic damask pattern in citron gold and black, and Sultan Gold, a soft gold silk. The fluted legs are finished in gold leaf. The second fabric assortment for Paloma goes in a softer, more romantic direction with grays and pale golds, and mixes a quilted velvet body fabric with accent pillows in vegan leather and contemporary damask with shadows and highlights in gray, gold and white. The fluted legs are finished in silver leaf.</span></p>

</div>Equinox Collection: Sunburst Zebrawood Veneers, Mixed Materials Make Each Piece A Virtuoso2017-10-10T13:31:58-04:00vannoppenhttp://www.margecarson.com/blog/author/vannoppen/http://www.margecarson.com/blog/equinox-collection-sunburst-zebrawood-veneers-mixed-materials-make-each-piece-a-virtuoso/<p class="p1"><span class="s1">OCTOBER 2017, HIGH POINT, NC – Exotic Zebrawood veneers combine with dramatic forms and eye-catching materials like Black Galaxy Granite and Crystal Stone Alabaster to create a stunning contemporary statement collection in Equinox by Marge Carson.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1"></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Inspired by architectural forms, intriguing patterns come together with an array of materials ranging from light silvery alabaster to antique mirror to stainless steel and satin brass to create a showcase of stand-alone statement pieces. “Equinox is a collection of virtuoso pieces with striking visual interest,” said Jim LaBarge, chief executive officer of Marge Carson. “The unifying theme is the combination of metal and Zebrawood, with intriguing striated and sunburst patterns. The cylinder-like bar hardware is a masterpiece, with dramatic, highly textured and deeply carved detail.”</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1"></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The sparkling metal accents, combined with the patterned veneers, exude a contemporary elegance in the 21-piece bedroom, dining and living room Equinox Collection. It will be shown in three finishes: the medium brown Contemporary Briar; the dark, rich, deep brown Bombay; and Slate, a more casual gray tone. The option of either brown or gray <g class="gr_ gr_64 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar multiReplace" data-gr-id="64" id="64">finishes</g>, along with a choice of hardware in polished nickel, satin brass or a combination of the two, allows the collection to be interpreted in a variety of ways. The brown finishes and satin brass hardware achieve a warmer, more formal presentation, while a cooler, more casual look is achieved with the Slate finish and polished nickel hardware.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1"></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Each of the finishes offers a clarity that shows off the dramatic striations and radiating sunburst patterns of the exotic Zebrano, or Zebrawood, in the collection, notes Tom Tilley, director of wood products for Marge Carson. Tilley added that the intriguing designs, eclectic mix of materials and architectural shapes of Equinox offer “the high-end customer the opportunity to make a fashion statement and showcase of style in their homes.”</span></p>
