AUSTIN, Texas – Full line furniture resource Four Hands is launching a collection with British designer Tracey Boyd at the upcoming High Point Market that is inspired by Boyd’s travels around the world.
The 20 pieces in the Tracey Boyd for Four Hands collection include sideboards, occasional tables, benches, bedroom storage pieces and dining chairs.
The company said that the collection focuses on the “balance of shape, texture and pattern” that incorporate inspiration and design from her travels around the world, while using “new materials, colors and finishing techniques that spotlight contemporary and unique design.”
Examples include pieces in the Stratus group that are made with bird’s eye maple in an Emerald Green stain and the Trefoil, a storage piece that features modern marquetry in a “soft, round and new modern print similar to block printing.”
“Design for me is all about taking contrasting materials and unpredictably using them to create an individual aesthetic that is livable, comfortable and beautiful,” Boyd said. “Taking pattern inspiration from my textile and fashion background, I love to create unusual decorative surfaces that give my designs a unique profile. I believe furniture is at the forefront of the design world; providing a longevity that is important in today’s world of super-fast consumerism, furniture has become the fashion with which you dress your home.”
“Teaming up with Tracey Boyd was a natural fit,” said Adam Dunn, Four Hands creative director. “We have similar design philosophies and share visions of taking unique materials and blending them in a way that is both contrasting and complementary. Like Tracey, we also look to shape and fashion for inspiration. Combining her background in apparel and her love of travel, Tracey’s global approach adds a fresh perspective to our existing Four Hands collection, complementing it with a softer, more colorful approach. Together, we’ve worked to create pieces that use globally sourced materials and effectively translate Tracey’s world journeys into unique and unparalleled pieces.”
During the Oct. 19-23 High Point Market, the collection can be seen at the Four Hands showroom in space 4101 of Showplace.
