NEWS UPDATE

March 2021

SS21 LAUNCH A HUGE SUCCESS!

This year we have hit the ground running by launching our
Spring/Summer collection in January which has already been well
recieved by many of our customers.

Due to the Coronavirus Pandemic the January Furniture Show, where we
would normally showcase our new products, was sadly cancelled this
year. This encouraged us to look at a different way of displaying our
models so customers could view them in a safe way whilst adhering to
government guidelines.

Probably the most notable thing we did was build a studio area directly
above our main showroom which allows us to display much more
product. We’ve also limited the amount of meetings held on site and
compromised with zoom calls where clients are unable to attend.

According to the latest order figures there are some clear
customer favourites in our SS21 collection such as the Varley
and Maia (pictured left).

Our wide range of styles, fabrics and size options mean there
really is something to suit every demographic.

There’s still time to book a virtual meeting so contact your local
sales agent today (contact details below). We’re sure you’ll find
something that is a great addition to your store.

WELCOME BACK RETAIL!

As most of you will be aware most non-essential retail is due to
re-open its doors and welcome customers back in April
(dependant on country and government guidelines). Although
online retail has played a huge part for businesses during the
pandemic many stores will be excited at the prospect of being
able to physically display product and give their customers the
best retail experience possible.

Sofas and chairs are most certainly products that lend
themselves more to an in-person purchase as it can be very
difficult to convey the way a product ‘sits’ online and
customers are likely to want to ‘try before they buy’.

No doubt many of our clients will be displaying some of our mindful about adhering to covid restrictions and allowing safe
new models a short time after opening. There really is social distancing for customers in store. Measures such
