“Today more than ever people want their home to be a retreat, a place away from the ringing and buzzing,” says ComerWear, Director of Marketing for Century Furniture. “Where we used to see homes built as showcases, the focus now is smaller more personal spaces where one can escape.” With its style rooted in serenity and sophistication, Century Furniture’s newest collection, Tribeca, brings this sentiment to life. The collection featuring thirty pieces of bedroom, dining and occasional debuts this spring at the International Home Furnishings Market in High Point, NC. Named after the exclusive and historic residential neighborhood in New York, the Tribeca collection is Century’s interpretation of today’s new social consciousness. Opulence and showy wealth have fallen out of fashion at the same time as our world has become hyper connected and chaotic. This perfect storm inspired Tribeca—a collection of modern sophistication, where designs are pure and sculptural and noted just as much for their refrain as for their subtleties in detail.

Graceful simplified design sensibilities are married with beautiful American walnut, the best time-honored craftsmanship and then enhanced with a rich soft hand rubbed finish. The cases are crafted of maple solids and quarter cut AmericanWalnut straight grain veneers. American Walnut, selected for its minimal, controlled grain patterns, enhances the simplicity of each piece. The primary finish, Tribeca, is a clear warm brown with a clarity only achieved through a multi-step process performed by artisans of unparalleled skill. The jewelry, soft hammered silver, accentuates but does not distract. Each piece of Tribeca is a lesson in controlled design.

Statement pieces include the Diamond pattern inlay dining table, credenza and bar cabinet which feature a reverse match veneer pattern of American walnut with an ever so understated ebonized maple inlay. The true saber legs of the dining table extend from a faceted shoulder in elegant proportion anchoring the dining room with its angular form. This table beckons for a long dinner paired with a nice bottle of wine and perhaps some light jazz.

Indeed the dining chair shown here, one of three in the collection, invites you to stay a while with its open arms and flared back. Inspired by a forties French design, the angular lines of this dining chair are as regal as they are inviting.

The Bachelor Chest stands out with its shadow box molding silhouetting the contrast drawer fronts while the contours of the faceted legs seem to flow upwards and envelop the piece. The subtle nuances of clipped corner detailing and slight reveal under the top give the chest its elegant shape.

Also of note are the Entertainment Credenza and Sliding Tray Cocktail Ottoman. These pieces exemplify the serenity and elegance of the Tribeca Collection while also offering a practicality that is required in today’s home. The Entertainment Credenza features a carved diamond facet frame set off by one sensational hammered silver accent.With wire management, no tool removable back panels and depth and height dimensions specifically set for optimal viewing this credenza is the perfect statement for today’s living room. Pair it with the Sliding Tray Cocktail Ottoman which features a sliding mirrored serving tray resting above a softer upholstered top and the living room becomes a sophisticated and practical haven.

“Tribeca is the epitome of modern sophistication hand crafted for today’s personal sanctuaries,” saysWear. “Its clean and classic lines offer a visual calm to our noisy lives enabling us to create quiet interiors capable of lifting us from a world of chaos and stress. Indeed an at home sanctuary, if only it came with the ‘no connections allowed’ policy.”
