INTERLUDE HOME ARRIVES IN LAS VEGAS WINTER ‘07

 

  • One of the home furnishings industry’s most respected giants brings five best-selling brands to the World Market Center, including all-new Interlude Lodge.

 

  • An introduction of more than 200 items in World Trade Center B-362 includes the all-new Interlude chair and upholstery program.

 

  • Weiman/Preview contemporary upholstery makes its Las Vegas debut in B-346 with never-before-seen designs by Vladimir Kagan and Yoshi Hatano.

 

 

Interlude Home plans to cut a wide swath at the January 2007 Las Vegas Market with two new showrooms in the World Trade Center: B-362 and B-346.  More than 200 exclusive new products are on tap, including an all-new upholstery program for Interlude Signature, Studio, Beach and Lodge, Interlude’s newest brand.

 

Weiman/Preview contemporary upholstery—purchased by Interlude Home last spring—makes its Las Vegas debut with new groups by Vladimir Kagan and Yoshi Hatano that include sofas, sectionals, chairs and occasional tables. Weiman’s new coordinated decorative accessories make it even easier for retailers to merchandise the full line.

 

“We’ve always had a strong following on the West Coast, and our goal for our two new Las Vegas showrooms is to make it easier than ever for these retailers to do business with us,” said Interlude Home President Carl Phillips. “We’ll be showing hundreds of exclusive new products, including lots of great new looks for Interlude Lodge. I am proud of the work of our extremely talented designers, who are responsible for coming up with everything we sell.  Our ability to consistently bring strong new product to the market is something that’s always made Interlude different. Newness is us.”

Now five home furnishings companies in one--plus Weiman, a world-renown contemporary upholstery company--Interlude Home has come to dominate the middle to high-end segments of the furniture and decorative accessories business.

 

By building distinct yet cohesive core brands around five lifestyles, Interlude Home has been able to produce a steady gush of new products that is guided by evolution, not confusion. The strategy is to give retailers updated yet consistent looks from season to season that range from traditional and classic to unique and exotic. Interlude’s unflinching focus on its core brands makes merchandising the line a dream. In Las Vegas, Interlude Home will once again show its how it’s done in eye-popping fashion with a beautiful showing of the dramatic large-scale designs the company is known for.

 

Interlude Home Showroom B-362

nInterlude Lodge, the company’s newest brand, kicked off at fall’s High Point Market with hundreds of new designs inspired by an all-American mountain spirit that is rustic and elegant all at the same time. Retailers can expect to see many new Lodge designs in Las Vegas, the first of hundreds of new items slated for the lifestyle-based brand in 2007.

 

Polished silver, cowhide, acid-washed leather and rustic woods are just some of the materials that are transformed into sculpture, wall décor, accent furniture, accessories and more. Las Vegas Lodge introductions include a wall-hung toboggan fitted with four generous shelves, a hand-painted buffet cabinet with hand-applied “twig” trim and knobby corner posts at all four corners, and a kilim-wrapped accent ottoman with nailhead details and ball feet.

 

“We think Lodge will be a big home run with West Coast retailers in Las Vegas,” said Randy Bourne, EVP of Brand Development. “But the response to Lodge at High Point convinces us that our newest brand will have great appeal for anyone who wants to live a rugged, natural lifestyle--no matter where they live.”

 

nInterlude Signature, the company’s largest and oldest brand, sets new standards for updated traditional design with each new season. A stylish balance of classic European styling with the exotic global looks that originally put Interlude Home on the map, Signature in Las Vegas will lead off  with a new upholstery program. New accessories and accent furniture with clubby, “Duke of Windsor” looks take masculine chic to new heights. Deep, rich woods and nicely polished metals set just the right tone.

 

nInterlude Beach ramps up its obvious West Coast appeal with new designs inspired by Malibu’s casual seaside glamour. Surface interest created by sun-bleached coral and brown mottled shells work well with softly grained cabinets and tables the color of driftwood.  The winter offering at Interlude Beach has an organic sophistication not often seen in coastal collections.

nInterlude Counterpoint gives retailers options that complement the company’s other brands very well. Super stylish and in line with current lifestyle trends, Counterpoint designs tend to be smaller in scale and priced accordingly. It’s a perfect choice for furniture stores and home décor and gift stores, too—retailers who might not have the room to accommodate the other brands’ large-scale goods.

 

 

Interlude Home Showroom B-346

nInterlude Studio is contemporary design at its best and in Las Vegas the big news for Studio will be a new upholstery program. Studio will share showroom space with Weiman Furniture, a contemporary upholstery company Interlude Home purchased in April 2006. In a natural pairing that began at fall High Point Market, Interlude Studio and Weiman will offer contemporary buyers “one-stop shopping” in a specially designed setting as exciting as Las Vegas itself. Weiman/Preview’s newest groups from legendary designer Vladimir Kagan and Yoshi Hatano are joined by new occasional furniture and accessories priced and scaled for the interior designer and discriminating homeowner alike.
