MARTHA STEWART FINE FURNITURE COLLECTION

Bringing to life a collection of finer quality furniture was central to Martha’s idea of a life well lived. I was a key design voice that helped bring her fine furniture collection to life. I started by researching relevant furniture styles to the Martha Stewart brand and worked with our manufacturing partners to leverage their capabilities to its maximum effect. This was launched during High Point market and developed quite the buzz on how she was able to bring her unique style to life.
