New Introductions Added to Successful Nicole Miller Collection

October 2006, North Amityville, NY—With the successful launch of the Nicole Miller Collection, produced exclusively by Excelsior Designs, four new upholstery offerings and a dining table are being introduced this Market, as well as enhancements to the collection’s exclusive array of coordinating fabrics.

“ Lexington” includes a sofa, chair, and ottoman in a rounded “shelter” style. This armless set features a curved, gently winged back, evoking an intimate, “sheltered” feeling with a decidedly contemporary flair. Shown in a soft black, the fabric has the supple texture of brushed flannel. Accent pillows in cool, steel grey with a subtle tone-on-tone pattern add a hint of drama. The chair seat adds visual interest with a classic tweed print in warm tones of black, brown, and grey.

A chic new accent chair also strikes a pose this Market: the armless “West Side Chair” has a clean, crisp shape. It makes quite a statement with an oversized rectangular seat cushion and a square back cushion featuring a smaller square-shaped opening. This chair creates a unique graphic interest that will breathe new life into any décor. Covered in black Ultrasuede®, it is destined to be a “classic.”

Additions to the exclusive fabric line will provide even more innovative design choices for consumers. Peacock feathers in decadent green create a smooth and surprisingly understated appearance. Modern combinations of gold, black, chocolate, and taupe remain classic foundations.

An elegant new 72” inch round “Manhattan” glass top dining table gives new meaning to upscale entertaining. Designed to comfortably seat eight, the beveled glass beautifully accentuates the stainless steel and wood base.

A fitting finishing touch is the unveiling of an exclusive new rug program offering an assortment of custom rugs designed to complement the scale, color palette, and designs of the Nicole Miller Collection.
