Twin Star Home, an award-winning specialist in integrating home furnishings and the market leader in electric fireplaces, offers classics with a twist this High Point Market in two new collections that marry proven styles with unexpected and forward-thinking functional features.
With everything from reversible doors to multi-functional cabinets, the urbane ‘60s-inspired Trompe L’oeil collection offers consumers many of the features of custom furniture at a fraction of the cost. The collection, veneered in warm walnut, takes its name — trompe l’oeil means “fool the eye” in French — from signature panels of chevron marquetry in walnut, bird’s eye maple and American cherry that give the illusion of three-dimensional depth.
The collection’s flagship pieces include a multifunctional TV stand with a center compartment that can be used for storage or can be upgraded to accommodate a ClassicFlame® 26” quartz electric fireplace. The fireplace features Spectrafire®3D, a patent pending three-dimensional flame effect technology for the most realistic flames that dance on and behind the logs, including five adjustable color, brightness and speed settings.
Other pieces in the Trompe L’oeil collection include an adjustable-height desk with programmable height settings and built in charging stations; a sleek coffee table with a sunburst veneer top; a side table with a marquetry top; and a stylish round tripod side table, available with a marquetry top or a plain walnut top.
The Concord collection translates the best of classically simple American Shaker design into a series of handsome multi-functional pieces. Based on original antiques from Shaker communities settled in New England during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Concord is designed to meet the growing demand for clean, updated cottage looks that mix easily with other styles and can be dressed up or dressed down. Beautifully proportioned and thoughtfully detailed, the clean-lined and versatile Concord collection is particularly appropriate for compact living spaces.
Concord, offered in warm Meridian Cherry natural finish and a traditional Franklin Blue painted finish, is accented with satin brass hardware inspired by antique buttons. The broad and creatively functional collection includes entertainment pieces, storage pieces, occasional furniture and home office pieces, with everything from TV stands with electric fireplace options to a file cabinet on casters with hidden built-in charging stations.
“We are thrilled to introduce these new collections in High Point. Both are the result of understanding what’s important to our consumers and then putting what we learn into action,” said Lisa Cody, Twin Star Home’s Vice President of Marketing. “The breadth of design combined with flexibility and the multi-functionality options reflect the way our customers want to live now—with style, with comfort and with their own personal stamp.”
