Legendary Designer Jonathan E. David Chooses Continents Apart to Admin Drop Shipping Program

April 15, 2010 - PRLog -- Legendary Designer Jonathan E. David emerges from the shadows of retail giants to announce new firm and exclusive drop shipping agreement with Continents Apart

New Collection to debut at High Point Market

Since receiving his Master’s of Industrial Design in 1983, legendary designer Jonathan E. David has designed home furnishings for numerous well known retailers and catalog companies, including some of the most visible and highly marketed furniture designs in the industry.

While the demand for his work has seen a meteoric rise over the past decade, he has continually remained out of the limelight, allowing his work to speak for itself…until now.

Announcing the first Jonathan E. David Furniture Collection;
The culmination of a lifetime of design achievement.

From the practicality of design, to the cheerful pallet and traditional furniture maker’s craftsmanship, any furniture industry or interior design insider familiar with Jonathan’s work can see his signature on every piece.  Design so remarkable that it is obvious to even a casual observer that true genius has gone into each and every product in the collection.
During a rare public appearance Mr. David stated, “My goal is to provide an option for those savvy consumers shopping for casual designs seen through some of the most popular catalog and designer styles at prices that can fit any budget without any concessions to quality.  I will focus on a spectrum of color and finish choices in dining, bedroom, occasional and accents pieces.    All products will be stocked in North Carolina and are available to ship next day.   And how do we do it?  The entire process is factory direct.”

Continents Apart, LLC to Play a Major Role

David, LLC has partnered with Continents Apart, an international sales organization to for the purpose of offering our wide breadth of products to Continents Apart’s retail partners.” Said David, “This is to be an exclusive arrangement for all drop shipping business, including eCommerce, catalog and television retailers.

Husak, CEO of Continents Apart, LLC.  Mr. Husak put aside his written statement to say, “JED rarely says very much publicly, but when he does, he says it all.  We are delighted to be working with an industry legend, and to offer such high quality goods at such a great price point.  Rather than compromising on quality to hit the price point, we are going with a factory-direct business model and drop ship products will be out the door within two business days.”
