High Point – For the Birds
The Deauville table lamp by Jamie Young
What is it about birds that is so enchanting? Is it because they can fly or because they can build beautiful nests with mere twigs and scraps? Or is it just because they’re so darned cute?
Whatever the reason, furniture manufacturers love them, and they have for several years now. The new introductions in High Point this spring had them out in abundance. Here are a few that Trish and I noted.
Gallery Designs, which along with Jamie Young had the coolest lamps I saw at the show, featured these bird beauties in the front of its showroom.
Lee Industries spiced up its furniture offerings with bird-themed artwork scattered over most of its cocktail tables.
And Oly, one of our favorite furniture manufacturers that also sells art, had these incredible offerings:
I loved this delightful bird slipcover at Robin Bruce, which was repeated in the unusual upholstered accent table beside it.
The same upholstery showed up at Nathan Anthony.
There’s something jaunty about this bird/nature patchwork pillow at Aidan Gray.
The brilliant stylist made quite a statement with a wall of white birds in the Baker showroom.
We also found this sweet little table at Baker:
Last but not least, a bird bath – a one-of-a-kind piece found in the lovely French Heritage showroom.
Now I hear the real birds singing outside under sunshine, which we haven’t seen for a week – time to start the weekend. Have a great one.
Love all these birds, especially the large canvas paintings.
Aidan Gray and Oly are two of my favorites. And the bird motifs are perfect for Spring!
