Enjoy this article from the Wall Street Journal that includes Celerie’s tips on how to spruce up your powder room. Celerie Kemble is working on a fabulous collection of furniture with Henredon that will be unveiled at the High Point Market in Spring 2013.

High Point Market was a Success!

Henredon concluded the High Point Market on a high note, reporting a brisk turnout in showroom attendance and enthusiasm for new introductions.

The Montaigne collection took center stage with a mid-century French inspired look. The light, open-pore cerused finish relaxes the designs’ geometric lines and gives the pieces a cutting-edge sophistication.

The Acquisitions Euro introduction takes its style cue from a broad range of European traditional forms. Designs are updated with fresh finishes, American knotty walnut veneers, and other interesting veneer species.

A contemporary spirit informs the new Acquisitions Contemporary selections. Some designs exhibit Asian influences; others an organic spirit. The overall feeling is both elegantly relaxed and luxuriously chic.

The latest Henredon upholstery designs reflect streamlined silhouettes with simpler lines and trimmer proportions.

Here's a peek into our High Point Showroom.

Dan Bradley, President of both Henredon and Maitland-Smith, is excited about these new licensed programs, stating, “Both brands will benefit from our association with Celerie. She shares our goal to produce the most beautiful high-end furniture and decorative accessories in the industry. She has a keen eye for detail and a passion for creating unique, fresh designs, and we are thrilled to be associated with her.”

Kemble is finalizing the designs for the new collections with Todd Sessa, Vice President of Merchandising and Design for both Henredon and Maitland-Smith, to ensure that all products work together to create an environment true to the Celerie Kemble vision. Sessa is “confident the results of our collaboration with Celerie will appeal to interior designers, retailers and consumers alike because each design stands alone, yet the mix is very well merchandised and works together as a cohesive whole.”

As an interior designer, Kemble endeavors “to fuse the elegance of subtle luxury with comfort, current fashion, and an understanding of what will be enduring design. Because much of what I do is custom, site-specific and bespoke, it has long been my dream to bring these imaginative designs and intriguing objects to a wider audience.”

For Kemble, one way to achieve this goal is through these licensed programs. She deems it “a privilege to team with Henredon and Maitland-Smith and to work with some of the most capable craftspeople in the furniture manufacturing industry. Both Henredon and Maitland-Smith have production capabilities that are as vast as the spectrum of my design vision, and we share respect for the nuances that make furniture beautiful and lasting. I am ecstatic about the team we have formed, and the process has been delightful and inspiring.”

Celerie Kemble is a principal of Kemble Interiors, based in Palm Beach, Florida, and New York City. Kemble’s design work has been widely published in the US and internationally. Her latest book, “BLACK and WHITE (and a bit in between)” is published by Clarkson Potter.

Using neutrals to create a calm, sophisticated space.

Light and airy neutrals enhance a room’s style and sophisticated. From beiges to grays, when using these colors with a variety of textures you can create a timeless space. The use of neutrals allows the natural beauty of a space to shine through. Incorporating different shades of neutrals will add depth and contrast to your space. Additionally, the use of different shapes, surfaces and patterns makes it visually interesting. We also love to throw in a small pop of color from time to time.

Have you created a room around neutrals? We’d love to hear your thoughts.
