Christopher Guy Launches the Mademoiselle Collection at the Fall High Point Market

Oct. 12, 2011 - PRLog -- Beverly Hills, Calif. -- Imagine the spectacular style of a 1920s Parisian grand apartment, furnished with the personal panache of the graceful, elegant woman who represented the very first generation of ‘urban chic.’

This vision is being brought to life with contemporary twists with the launch of the Mademoiselle Collection by Christopher Guy, “The Creators of the World’s Most Fabulous Furnishings.”  The US debut of the Mademoiselle collection represents a ground-breaking new direction for the eponymous designer, whose furniture graces the homes of Hollywood celebrities and luxury hotels and resorts around the globe. The collection consists of furniture and decorative accent pieces reflecting both the elegant Christopher Guy style and sophisticated Parisian chic. The new collection can be seen during the Fall High Point Market from October 22nd to October 27th at the Christopher Guy showroom located in the Swaim Design Center at 418 South Wrenn.

“This full lifestyle collection draws for inspiration on a grand 1920s apartment owned by Mademoiselle, who returns to Paris in the autumn of 2011 to find her residence exquisitely refurbished  in  her  own  distinct  elegant  style”  says  Christopher  Guy  Harrison,  the award-winning internationally renowned designer, founder and CEO of the Christopher Guy brand.

One hallmark design element of the Mademoiselle Collection is the fan motif. It can be seen in the two lounge chairs in 20th Century Gold covered in cream ribbed silk, as well as six pleated back dining chairs of varying heights that surround a beautiful round dining table. The collection also introduces the “Coco” wood finish, rich in dark brown hues with elegant and traditional character, which can be seen on items such as cabinets, tables and chairs throughout the collection.

The Christopher Guy showroom will include a new mirror and accessories gallery, showcasing the latest mirrors in Black Satin and new mosaics from the Mademoiselle collection. Furniture pieces primarily upholstered in neutrals such as white, ivory and blush will stand in contrast to the midnight blue backdrop in several of the rooms. Other highlights include three new bedroom settings, a hand-carved round sofa in white lacquer and upholstered in Riviera Cool Grey and a large oval contoured coffee table with the signature “Silk-Cut” design.

“The introduction of the Mademoiselle Collection marks a pivotal milestone, as the first of my upcoming lifestyle collections, each embracing a defining theme. I aim to create and launch a number of such collections over the next couple of years,” adds Christopher.

Following the High Point Market, Christopher Guy will again strengthen its presence in the US with the unveiling of a brand new trade showroom in New York City.  The 6,000 square foot showroom will be located at 200 Lexington Ave in the New York Design Center and will be indicative of the Christopher Guy mood and style. The New York showroom will allow for growth of Christopher Guy’s northeastern presence with key designers in the world’s largest metropolitan area. Early next year, Christopher Guy will also expand its flagship showroom in Beverly Hills and open a dedicated space at the World Market Center in Las Vegas. The expansion to a 7,000 square foot space on Beverly Blvd is aimed at capturing the essence of Hollywood and the line’s immersion into the Los Angeles scene. Las Vegas will afford Christopher Guy yet another foothold to capture the West Coast buyer in a major market.
