During High Point Market, Theodore Alexander is unveiling in conjunction with the Keno Brothers a new collection. The Keno Brothers originally found fame on the Antiques Roadshow. The collection boasts 40 pieces that offer traditional styling with modern charm.

Harvey Dondero, CEO of Theodore Alexander noted, “Leigh and Leslie Keno are extraordinary experts of furniture from all periods, which make them perfect partners for Theodore Alexander. Their impeccable standards with respect to quality and construction mirrored our own, and their incredible knowledge of furniture and design made the entire process a pleasure.”

We are excited to view the collection and share our pictures with everyone.

Going Green DESIGINGreen

Robyn — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 14:00:05 +0000

This week Gallery Six attending a seminar hosted by the Dallas Market Center. The speaker was Jeff Hiller, president of the Sustainable Furnishings Council. He is an accredited LEED-CI/AP. The seminar was not the typical “tree-hugger” mentality. It was in fact the opposite. Mr. Hiller gave an entertaining and informative lecture. The biggest message was that the design industry needs to open the door of discussion to their clients about the green movement. He gave very interesting statics regarding changing out light bulbs and upgrading appliances or using antiques in your designs. Mr. Hiller suggested that when discussing projects with clients to ask if they are interested with incorporating green in the design. If the client is open to it, then pursue it. If not, move on to the next topic in your design.

Being “green” does not always mean going in search for every sustainable product in the industry, but it does mean to take a closer look at what you are purchasing for your clients.

Habersham is made here in the United States which does not require using fossil fuels to transport across the ocean.

Wesley Allen utilizes as much of the metal as possible and then recycles what can not be used.

Theodore Alexander produces all of their products within their own facilities and does not outsource all over the world. They also utilize reclaimed wood for their entire Castle Bromwich collection. Each piece is individual due to the wear of the wood.

Antigua Furniture has been a pioneer in the use of recycled hardwoods such as Rediscovered Oak which originates from old barns and farmhouses in the United States. Antigua uses only hardwoods that are grown responsibly. They are fully committed to preserving our forests and take great care in verifying the origin of our lumber. They are INAB certified and our group of companies contributes a portion of our proceeds towards reforestation projects and the protection of natural habitats & wildlife.

In 2001, when very few companies in the furniture industry were thinking about global warming, South Cone invested a large amount of resources and time in obtaining FSC certification for their factory in Peru and our distribution center in the United States. From that year until today, South Cone has become the world leader in sustainable furniture and wood management practices. They are active members of the Sustainable Furniture Council (sustainablefurniturecouncil.org) and one of only three companies in the world to have silver exemplary status from this prestigious organization.

Change is not the easiest thing to accept; however, we can open dialogue with our vendors to ensure that we are provide the best products for your clients and our world.

Making Technology Work for You

Robyn — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 14:50:16 +0000

This week while I was browsing through Elle Decor’s new website, I came across a great article on specfically three downloads available. Technology is a wonderful tool to incorporate in design. With new apps available daily on itunes.com or your favorite site, it can be intimidating to try something new. I encourage everyone to try the free apps first to get comfortable with using the technology. Each download typically has a review that I have found very helpful. With having a paint deck at your fingertips, it can really help on time as well as not having to take a color deck everywhere with you. Take a look at the article and you may find a new tool that will help in your designs.
