Fall 2015 High Point Preview September 2015 – High Point, NC – High end occasional furniture manufacturer Jonathan Charles will unveil over 200 introductions at Fall 2015 High Point Market next month. Several new collections will be introduced: Monte Carlo, Indochine, Curated, Octavia, and New Asia.
Existing collections will add new styles in both seating and case goods categories. Select introductions from new and existing collections are highlighted in this preview release. Jonathan Charles is located at 200 N. Hamilton Suite #125 and will be open early to the media and designers on Thursday, October 15, 2015.
Light Daniela wood finish and midcentury silhouettes identify the Cosmo Collection. As shown on the Dresser and Lounge Chair, beveled edges with brass trim serve both form and function, acting as drawer pulls.

Whimsical shapes and playful veneers make up the Curated Collection. Experimenting with different inlay and glazing techniques, from eggshell inlay to lacquer, the collection exudes an eclectic look. |

The hallmark of the Indochine Collection is in the eggshell inlay, a new technique introduced to Jonathan Charles’ craftsmanship portfolio. Different patterns of eggshell inlay are explored, as shown on the Brown Eggshell Inlay End Table and the Silver Eggshell Inlay Square Stool. |
Alluding to its name, the primary motif in the Octavia Collection is an octagon, repeated throughout every aspect of the design, from the brass drawer pulls to the tabletop shape. Highly polished walnut wood lends a sleek contrast to the brass hardware.
Opulent and exotic, the Monte Carlo Collection appeals to the ultimate luxury enthusiast with a penchant for neoclassical style. Hand-carved gold leaf flourish set against rich mahogany veneers elevate the collection.
Limed acacia is the defining trait for the Artisan Collection, whose Southwestern aesthetic is mixed with a casual, relaxed vibe, as demonstrated with their new Upholstered 3-Seater Bench in Limed Acacia and Limed Acacia Etagere.
Taking its influence from the Bauhaus School of Art, the Ambient Collection features clean and simple lines in engineered veneers combined with steel, brass and highly polished finishes. Frank Lloyd Wright’s architecture also inspires the collection, as shown with the Layer End Table.
