E.J. Victor Offers Something For Everyone in October


October 2005 was a fantastic showcase of E. J. Victor's wood and upholstery lines. Never has more upholstery been introduced - classy frames with fresh fabrics filled the showroom. E.J. Victor's wood featured several signature pieces such as the gorgeous mahogany secretary with removable partition as well as more feminine bedroom pieces from Julia Gray and Carol Bolton and a mix of old and new from Randall Tysinger.

This was the second Market for the popular Randall Tysinger for E.J. Victor collection. Market attendees enjoyed walls dressed in a deep eggplant color, hip music, and a cozy ambiance. Eclectic introductions included an acrylic dining table and cocktail table, zebraskin fabric adorning dining chairs, and furry comfort on a favorite sofa from April. The unique sofa pictured on the far left was created from a late twentieth century Continental sofa and was declared a Market Winner by Furniture/Today. The arm height is an astounding 48 1/2 inches.

Carol Bolton had another wonderful Market of marrying exquisite fabrics to her signature frames. She also introduced some pieces with cleaner, simple lines such as the 405-82 William R. Sofa.

Also new in Carol's collection is a carved wraparound bed. This style of bed is a growing trend - E.J. Victor introduced a bed in the Julia Gray collection with wraparound headboard and footboard. President John Jokinen told Furniture/Today that both sold well. He noted that wrap headboards and footboards create an appealing, cocoon-like effect. “It’s almost like you’re sitting in a sofa,” he said. “There’s a comfort and warmth to it that you just don’t have in a typical bed.”
