What We Love About Calvin Klein Home's Curator Collection: Calm, Cool, Collected And Stylish!

Highlights from Calvin Klein Home, 
The Curator Collection At
High Point Spring Market 2016
Stepping out of the car to visit Calvin Klein Home at High Point Furniture Market was like a breath of fresh air.  Away from the crowds and hustle and bustle of Market, Calvin Klein Home's showroom is a quiet oasis of stylish wonder.  The company has established themselves as a specialty high-style brand for the home with a calm, cool, collected vibe of their very own.  The furniture, bedding and rugs are what you would envision from fashion icon Calvin himself--fashion forward with tactile textiles and  wonderfully edited to a simple silhouette, and all infused with a soothing color palette.  The furniture has clean lines with lots of nature-inspired detailing, and just a bit of drama and unexpected touches where needed, making the 
Curator Collection unique.  The furniture makes quite a statement, then when combined with the earthy rugs and modern lighting, the result is stunning.  Last week I wrote about the Calvin Klein Home rug collection at Nourison, and in case you missed it, take a look because there are some beautiful rugs in their line, and Nourison carries the entire Calvin Klein Home rug collection.   Here are some of our favorite pieces from the Curator Collection...
the beds
I especially adore the beds, and they feel indulgent and luxurious without all the fuss and ornamentation that many other bed manufacturers provide. My favorite is the dramatic dark charcoal upholstered Sweep Bed, and although it is simple it feels quite fashionable and even romantic in the brooding color and sloping upholstered back.  The team designed the showroom well this Market, and on the bedding showed a touch of asymmetry with the styling. 
the Sweep Upholstered Bed 
the Arc Four Poster Canopy Bed has a black walnut flint finish
and is strong, yet simple at the same time.
our favorite table
 the Halo table in the granite finish has a
sculptural feeling to it with a lovely granite top

these legs on the Verge Chair & Sofa are stunning

The one cushion tight back sofa is sleek,
 and a perfect size for an urban apartment dweller.
many sectional sofa options as well
the Studio Sectional with black throw has left and right arm sectional options
the Suspend Sofa is another stylish sectional option
the Cantilever Book Shelf in natural walnut  gives the illusion of floating shelves and a perfect option for utilizing space in a small home.
the Radiant Brass Cocktail Table
is our favorite piece, and especially stunning shown in pairs
the Pitch chair in this chocolate brown light coffee leather is buttery soft 
and, we love these gorgeous accessories
The Artisan Collection of Stoneware is inspired by nature, and made of hand-thrown  bisque fired with an all over glaze with textural variations.  These are color Mushroom.  The Chunky Throws are soft and luxurious to boot!

Happy Nesting
