Many manufacturers look to interior designers for their creative juices and often partner up with them for product development. This spring, a handful of designers including Mary McDonald, Jamie Drake, Bunny Williams, Tilton Fenwick, Tobi Fairley, Christopher Kennedy, Made by Girl, Mr. Kate, Woodson & Rummerfield’s House of Design, Cortney and Rob Novogratz, and Monica Pederson have teamed up with companies to create new collections of fabrics, furniture and accessories.

American-made furniture company Chaddock is currently collaborating with Million Dollar Decorator star Mary McDonald on a furniture line, set to debut at the April High Point Market.

“I’ve been designing furniture for myself and clients for as long as I can remember,” said McDonald. “It is an honor to follow in the footsteps of design legends like David Easton and partner with Chaddock…the Mary McDonald Collection for Chaddock will be filled with all of my favorite things."

Also set to launch at the upcoming High Point Market is the Jamie Drake for Theodore Alexander collection, consisting of approximately 50 imaginative bedroom and living room pieces, which will be realized by Theodore Alexander’s craftspeople.

“From the moment I first walked into Theodore Alexander’s showroom I felt at home,” said Drake. “The superb quality and ravishing finishes are unparalleled. I’m excited to work with a company with such diverse capabilities that can realize whatever I dream.”

Bunny Williams has created two new collections for this season: the Bunny Williams for Dash & Albert Rug Company collection, which is a combination of 36 performance-based, outdoor-friendly designs, as well as natural jute weaves appropriate for use indoors or on covered porches; and the Bunny Williams for Pine Cone Hill collection, a worldly collection of pillows and throws inspired by Williams’s extensive travels. Both collections will be available next month.

“My job as a designer is to help make smart choices when a house is being furnished,” said Williams. “Clients want homes they can really live in and interiors that fit their lifestyles. Today there are so many great, affordable ways to decorate and make rooms both attractive and practical, like Dash & Albert’s stain-proof rugs. When Annie [Selke, founder of Dash & Albert] asked me to collaborate with her, I jumped at the chance.”

Duralee has partnered with Anne Foster and Suysel DePedro Cunningham of the design firm Tilton Fenwick on their first licensed fabric collection, Duralee Designer: Tilton Fenwick, now available in Duralee showrooms. According to Duralee, the pair considers color paramount in their design process, and their love for creating sophisticated yet distinctive combinations in their design projects has been reflected in their multi-colored three color-book collection of printed and woven textiles.
