Don’t miss these first-time designer-brand partnerships making their debut at High Point Market this season.
Helen Bergin x Abner Henry
Handcrafted in Ohio, the new 18-piece collaboration between furniture maker Abner Henry and Helen Bergin is anchored in a keen sense of materiality: solid maple and oak, low-sheen washes, and warm metallic accents in brass, copper and silver. The Palm Beach designer drew upon antique references from the 1940s to design the collection, with standouts like the Zoe desk, which she describes as “sophisticated and sassy.” (214 E.

Hilary Matt x Mitzi
Designer Hilary Matt’s collection for Mitzi offers something for every type of space, with 11 new lighting styles ranging from avant-garde and earthy to cozy and minimalistic. Many of the pieces include organic elements—the coastal-inspired Erin pendant features a handwoven rattan basket shape suspended from a coordinating jute cord, while the Davie channels the look and feel of barnacles to form the abstract geometric pattern on its base, itself sculpted from an eco-paper composite. Others offer an eye-catching brilliance, such as the Remi pendant, with its ethereal cloud glass globe. (Hudson Valley Lighting Group, Market Square, M-70, M-90, M-97 & M-99)
Suzanne Kasler x Art & Forge
With the expert help of Suzanne Kasler, Art & Forge has rolled out three new collections of hand-cast, solid brass knobs and pulls, each nodding to the French decorative arts movements that feature prominently in the Atlanta designer’s work. Montclair introduces a space with quiet elegance, taking inspiration from neoclassical design with details like a signature pearled border encircling the smooth, convex knob face—a motif found in Louis XVI silverwork. Normandy offers a more commanding presence, with sculptural forms reminiscent of those found on broad Parisian doors, while Lafayette zeroes in on an indelible feature in the country’s interior design: the cut-crystal doorknob.

Corey Damen Jenkins x Eichholtz
For the brand’s first-ever collaboration with an interior designer, the Eichholtz team knew they would be safe in the hands of Corey Damen Jenkins, whose trademark “maximalist restraint” has now been translated to the lighting category. Together with Eichholtz’s chief creative officer, Edwin van der Gun, the designer pored over his archive of hand-drawn lighting sketches to make his creative visions a reality. The result is a collection of bold and sculptural pieces—a distillation of Damen Jenkins’s wide-ranging inspirations from the realms of art, architecture, antiques and couture—with careful attention to detail that primes each to be a statement-maker.

Christopher Todd Living x Moss Home
Christopher Todd paired up with Moss Home to unveil a 21-piece collection spanning sofas, dining chairs, ottomans, benches and beds. To spark his creativity, the Las Vegas–based interior and event designer delved into his 30-year catalog of ideas, resurfacing with a number of vintage touches that he sought to update. “Many of my designs have a playful approach to furniture from the 1970s and ’80s, but
I added a modern twist to these elements to create
a current and modern feel,” he says. “It can be challenging to achieve the best of both worlds, balancing comfort with visual appeal, but we focused carefully on both to ensure that every piece in this collaboration delivers on each.” (Codarus, Broad Hall)
Eric Ross x Chelsea House
Chelsea House teamed up with Nashville designer Eric Ross for the debut of one of the brand’s largest launches to date. With over 75 pieces, the Found collection features furniture, lamps, art, mirrors and accessories, all designed with a focus on reimagining classics with Ross’s blend of warm Southern living and timeless ease. “My collection for Chelsea House helps fill a void in the market since it has become increasingly difficult to source reproductions and antique-inspired furniture and accessories,” he says. “We are making it easier for interior designers to create a collected look by bringing together elements that would be time-
consuming to find and acquire individually.” (200 N. Hamilton St., Suite 104)
Charlotte Lucas x Taylor King
Charlotte Lucas has never shied away from bold design. Now, the Charlotte-based designer’s signature vibrant color, layered patterns and playful elements have made their way into her new collection with upholstery manufacturer Taylor King. The 28-piece assortment—which includes sofas and sectionals, chairs, benches, ottomans, footstools and a canopy bed—features sculptural silhouettes, tailored upholstery, and decorative elements like tassels, fringe and cane detailing. (200 Steele, Suite 304)
House of DuVäl x Sherrill
Together with Northern Virginia–based designer DuVäl Reynolds, Sherrill Furniture Brands leaps into a new design direction with a collection of living room, dining room, bedroom and home office pieces that take notes from the textures and tailoring of menswear. The goal, says Reynolds, was to speak to an underserved segment
of the market, with the introduction of furniture that offers a “masculine, architectural and grounded” feel. “Aesthetically, I find myself somewhere between the
richness and layered character of dark academia and the clarity of modern design,” he adds. “I love references to the past and the storytelling that traditional furniture carries, but interpreted in a way that feels relevant to how we live today. That balance—traditional inspiration paired with cleaner lines and modern comfort—helped define the style of the collection, which we think of as a kind of ‘new American heritage.’” (315 Fred Alexander Place)
Kim Scodro x Milton & King
For the perfect marriage of architectural order and garden romance, look no further than Kim Scodro’s new wallcovering and textile collab with Milton & King. In The Tailored Garden collection, the concept comes to life in ribboned florals, classic trellises, pretty botanicals and scaled stripes, all of which are rendered in a dreamy palette that includes blush, sage, butter yellow and sun-washed blues. (Baker, 319 N. Hamilton St.)
Meghan Jay x Isidore Leroy
For her collaboration with the French wallpaper house, Chicago designer Meghan Jay reflected on her childhood memories of the Long Island Sound—days of soft pastel sunsets, wind-swept dunes and blooming beach roses. “I started by gathering visual references: photographs from New England, vintage textiles, Nantucket basket weaves, maritime stripes, and botanical elements found along the shoreline,” says Jay. “From there, I worked closely with Isidore Leroy’s artists to translate those ideas into patterns and panoramics, carefully refining the scale and color palettes so they would live beautifully on walls.” The My Home by the Sea collection translates those memories into designs like Cabana Stripes and the East Coast mural for a contemporary take on coastal style.

Kristi Hopper x Varaluz
Lighting brand Varaluz tapped Texas designer Kristi Hopper for the debut of the eco-friendly Petal Reign collection, which includes two linear chandeliers, a pendant and a sconce. The assortment honors the natural world with its botanical forms—and through the designer’s use of hand-formed recycled steel. (Market Square, Suite 290)
Kathy Kuo, Lindsay Lucas and Stephanie Wiott x Unique Kitchens & Baths
For its latest collaborations, Unique Kitchens & Baths recruited three all-star designers to craft a trio of new collections. Kathy Kuo looked to anchor her vision in classically inspired European designs, with motifs like cutout details, subtle chamfers, contrast trim and delicate beading, all available in soft blue, green and neutral hues. “It’s a palette that feels calming, grounded, and quintessentially Kathy Kuo Home,” she says. Lindsay Lucas, meanwhile, looked to English country houses and heritage craftsmanship for her collection, which favors a warm, refined approach. “Styles like Gramercy introduce a more tailored architectural detail, while Ellis celebrates the beauty of wood grain and color through a quieter framed panel,” says the Lindsay Laine Home founder. “The goal was to create a collection designers could confidently layer throughout a home.” Finally, Stephanie Wiott’s focus was on crafting an assortment that felt both timeless and livable, aided by her namesake firm’s extensive experience in kitchen design. “I was drawn to the balance between architectural structure and softness—how clean lines can coexist with warm materials and tactile finishes,” says Wiott. “We definitely wanted a look that evoked feelings of nostalgia, while still feeling modern.” (313.Space, M-22 & M-23)
