Collins And Dupont Interior Design Blog: Trend Alert: Quatrefoil

Recently we had the pleasure of hosting two designers from Collins and Dupont Interiors from Naples and Bonita Springs, Florida at our HCC University program. Today Carol emailed to tell us that we had been featured on their blog! Their post by Renee Gaddis Trend Alert: Quatrefoil included our Alexandra Side Chair by Suzanne Kasler as a great example of how quatrefoil motifs have become popular in the marketplace!

As I read on, I was thrilled to see the Gothick Bench from our Winterthur Country Estate Collection was also featured! The quatrefoil motif is incorporated into the back of this classic bench from the museum in Winterthur, Delaware.

These pieces inspired me to think about the other pieces in our offering that include the quatrefoil motif. The Collier Dining Table by Suzanne Kasler was designed to have a large quatrefoil as the stretcher. The shape of the legs with the quatrefoil stretcher create a beautiful shape.

From the San Marino Collection, is the Quatrefoil Book Table. Available in over 60 finishes and Customer's Own HardwareTM, this table is both functionable and fashionable!

Special Construction Requests

Every day we receive requests for personalization through Special Construction requests. I continue to be made proud by the many incredible custom requests that we are able to accomodate! As I was giving a tour yesterday for our HCC University Supplier group and several community college executives that focus on supporting local business and industry, we stopped at a bulletin board by the area where we make the one of a kind Milo tables. On this bulletin board were several pictures of chests where the customer had asked for different fronts than the piece had been designed to have for COHTM hardware.

These types of personalization requests are embraced by Hickory Chair craftsman. They look forward to these one of a kind requests. With great pride they think about each special request to visualize how it would look and then to determine how they can make that piece the way the customer wants it. When you order a Hickory Chair piece, you should know that "I have it MADE."

One of a Kind Wood Products by Hickory Chair

With Hickory Chair's Customer's Own HardwareTM program you can send your own antique, custom or any hardware to us. We will then make a chest, china cabinet or any wood piece for you and install your hardware to your specifications. This custom made knob was purchased from Marjorie Skouras Design. The web site to view her custom made hardware is: marjorieskourasdesign.com. The Taylor Chest by Thomas O'Brien was ordered in the standard Antique Ivory finish with a set of 6 of these knobs.

Every day designers and sales associates call Hickory Chair with special requests to provide solutions for their clients. Hardware can be changed on almost all of Hickory Chair's wood products because they are made in Hickory, North Carolina. Over 60 finish selections, over 100 in stock hardware options as well as combination finishes or hand striping allow you to personalize pieces to suit the wishes of your clients.
