Alias

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

Design is a true vocation for Alias, even in the choice of its designers, who today are wellknown international names, from different generations and with different training and provenance: Giandomenico Belotti, Mario Botta, Carlo Forcolini, Alberto Meda, Paolo Rizzatto, Riccardo Blumer, Jasper Morrison, Alfredo Häberli, Tamar Ben David. Over the years, the company has established an excellent special working relationship with each of these names, and the Alias natural inclination towards experimentation has fostered in every project the development of each designer’s own particular qualities. The international success of the Alias brand is based on the on-going work of the company in developing creative research and product quality, the latest technology and solid production capacity, communication image, marketing intuition and estensive distribution experience. Since 2001 Alias has been part of the Cassina group, which was recently bought out by Poltrona Frau, which has strengthened the position of the brand in the Italian and international sphere, increasing its prospects in coherence with Alias choices that have always been directed at high quality made in Italy design production.
An industrial structure based on extensive experience, Alias, together with its staff, has also been able to foster the on-going development of its production sector. Alias products sold every year are proof of the company’s solid ability to produce and its ability to manage independently all the production and distribution phases. Alias distributes its products in 50 countries and has about 1000 furniture stores. Alias design collections are the natural response to the widest range of interior and exterior requirements, the home and contract, communal areas and areas for communities. A light shape that is simple and rigorous, that always has its own well-defined character, based on the original mix of project research and design, innovation of materials and production technology. This is where the quiet charisma of Alias products comes from, making its by now historical items always up-to date and its new projects immediately recognizable.

Kincaid Furniture

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

It’s been said that “things aren’t made the way they used to be,” but at Kincaid, that’s not exactly true. While several enhancements have been made since our beginnings in 1946, we still use solid wood construction, wood-on-wood drawer movement, and hand rubbed finishes to craft our wood furniture. And the same can be said for our upholstery. Over the past 30 years, our upholstery operations in western North Carolina have built quality, bench made upholstery one piece at a time. And like Kincaid’s solid wood furniture, the upholstery has also benefited from a number of enhancements that continue to add value for the customer.
At Kincaid Furniture, things are made the way they used to be, they may even be a little better.

Guy Chaddock & Company

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

Guy Chaddock began restoring antiques and crafting one-of-a-kind reproductions more than 50 years ago. Later, as his reputation and clientele grew, a small group of European craftsmen joined the company and from this nucleus of skilled furniture makers a line of country French and country English home furnishings evolved. Many of the enduring designs created during these early years remain in the company product line and continue to be best sellers. Throughout the intervening years, the company has remained dedicated to the tradition of distinctive styling, old world craftsmanship, and the unique hand distressed finish, which have become the hallmarks of Guy Chaddock & Company products. Today, the current generation of master craftspeople still construct and finish each item to order, creating timeless heirloom quality home furnishings to be treasured through future generations.

Noir

Monday, April 6th, 2009

To achieve better quality control, Noir’s furniture is manufactured mainly from our own factory in China and Indonesia. All of Noir’s pieces are hand made of solid hard wood(birch, elm, mahogany). We select lumber from well-know suppliers, who guarantee their drying process specifically for export. On larger panels and backs, we use ply wood to minimize the risk of shrinking or even cracking. All finishes are hand applied and sanded repeatedly, then finished off with a lacquer top coat, or wax. While we take measures to protect our furniture from climate differnces in the U.S., Exposure to direct sunlight can cause warping or even cracking. Because of this, we strongly recommend, solid wood furniture should not be placed under direct sunlight. In our warehouse, we also carry a wide array of one-of-a-kind furniture and accessories.
