Falling for Design

DESIGN FOR ALL
Local Morganton, North Carolina, furniture design house Chaddock is recognized for its customizable furniture, upholstery, cabinets, hardware, and lighting that can be crafted in weeks and will last generations. Its most recent collaboration with interior designer Mark D. Sikes, well known for beautiful interiors, textiles, women’s fashions, and books, resulted in a furniture collection rich in options, colors, and style. With a classic sensibility and an all-American aesthetic, Sikes’ collection of thirty-seven pieces spans the spectrum of form and function, all of them beautiful. Twelve handpicked Farrow & Ball paint colors are also available to customize any piece, chosen by Sikes and curated for his color-rich and timeless approach. From button tufting, box pleats, and trim to paint selections, finishes, and multiple combinations, the possibilities are endless. ahokeltd.com

GOOD VIBES ONLY
Distinguished designer Kara Mann has teamed with McGuire to create a twenty-four-piece furnishings collection and a twenty-eight-piece fabrics collection. Marrying a vintage West Coast vibe with a highly textured, modern-yet-cozy aesthetic, the collection features heritage proportions, low seating, and relaxed but solid forms. “My goal was to create a thoughtful line that added a vintage perspective and unexpected materiality to McGuire’s modern furnishings, while still encompassing the essence of timelessness and natural luxury that the company is renowned for,” Mann says. circainteriors.com

STRAIGHT TO BED
Charlotte native Coley Collett Hull was working in textile design in New York when it hit her—custom furniture is too complicated. She knew she could make it better. So she returned to Charlotte and started Coley Home, a direct-toconsumer design shop specializing in custom beds delivered to your door. From frame, mattress, and headboard to linens and pillows, Coley Home delivers a completely customized bed in less than ten days. This fall, Coley Home will expand its line of furnishings to include bedside tables, poufs, benches, gliders, chairs, and ottomans. “We are thrilled to expand into more furniture, giving our customers even more opportunities to design their dream space,” Hull says. “Providing customers with high-quality pieces quickly and affordably continues to be a priority, and these new additions pair beautifully with our Crown Bed.” coleyhome.com

ADAPTATION
Celebrated retailer RH has created a new commanding presence in Phillips Place.

With fourteen-foot ceilings, a double grand floating staircase, crystal chandeliers amplified with endless antique mirrors, and ethereal natural garden surroundings, the 50,000-square-foot pinnacle store will be one of the few galleries around the country that will draw from near and far. rh.com

PERFECT PAIR
Two is better than one, especially when it comes to footwear. Such is the case for designer Sarah Flint, whose newest collection is composed of collaborations with textile houses Samuel & Sons and Morris & Co. As details are the pièce de résistance in shoes, trim is the equal in interior design, so it seemed a natural courtship to bring on renowned interior-trim design house Samuel & Sons. Each silhouette is finished with distinct cord piping and toe caps. “I am constantly inspired by interior design and have always admired the vast selection and exceptional craftsmanship that is signature to the Samuel & Sons brand,” Flint says. For the three-style capsule with Morris & Co., Flint chose its iconic Blackthorn pattern. “I’ve always admired Morris & Co.’s intricate patterns and designs,” she says. Using authentic colors in a silk-blend jacquard paired with satin detailing while adding touches that make each shoe style fresh and timely, she shares, “The result is elegant, sophisticated, and timeless with a touch of whimsy.” sarahflint.com
