The Fall 2025 High Point Market brought an unmistakable sense of comfort and sophistication to the season. At The Shops at Carolina Furniture of Williamsburg, we were inspired by collections that celebrate craftsmanship, texture, and timeless form. From tailored upholstery in rich autumn tones to striking silhouettes that blur the line between modern and traditional, this market reminded us why great design never goes out of style. Below are a few of the standouts we’re most excited to share in our showroom soon.
Hickory Chair: Tailored Tradition, Designed for Today
The Tompkins Four Post Bed from Hickory Chair brings a timeless sense of structure and versatility to the bedroom. With options for upholstered panels in any fabric or leather and removable posts for added flexibility, this design adapts seamlessly across interiors. Its refined silhouette and classic detailing make it equally at home in traditional or contemporary settings.
Styled in soft blue and cream tones, this vignette embodies Hickory Chair’s signature blend of craftsmanship and comfort—an enduring expression of tailored American design.
Lillian August: Sculptural Lines and Luxe Textures
This season, Lillian August presented a dynamic mix of statement materials and iconic forms. The Daniel Sofa, inspired by a 19th-century English Chesterfield, reinterprets a classic in plush green velvet with a relaxed yet refined profile. Paired with the Alessandro End Table, featuring hand-forged brass and marble, and the sleek Heath Coffee Table in glass, the look captures a sophisticated interplay of texture and proportion.
Together, the collection reflects the brand’s signature approach—layered, modern, and unmistakably elegant.
Jonathan Charles: Palm Court Collection
The Palm Court Collection by Jonathan Charles captures a refined sense of ease—where craftsmanship meets coastal-inspired elegance. Each piece highlights the beauty of natural materials like rattan, wood, and linen, crafted with a sculptural simplicity that feels both timeless and current.
The Palm Court Dining Table anchors the look with hand-woven rattan detailing, while the slipcovered arm and side chairs introduce soft tailoring and comfort. Layered together, the pieces evoke an effortless balance between relaxed living and sophisticated design—a fresh interpretation of casual refinement.
Whittemore Sherrill: Classic Craftsmanship, Modern Mood
Whittemore Sherrill’s featured furniture captures the art of timeless comfort with a contemporary edge. The pairing of the 5045-03 Sofa and 5045-01 Chair embodies the brand’s legacy of handcrafted quality—each piece defined by supple leather, tailored stitching, and refined proportions.
In this vignette, layered textures and rich tones of slate, chestnut, and deep blue create a space that feels both grounded and luxurious. It’s a study in enduring craftsmanship, where every detail reflects the quiet confidence of true American design.
Theodore Alexander: Refined Tradition, Reimagined
Theodore Alexander continues to demonstrate its mastery of craftsmanship and heritage design with pieces that merge classical artistry and modern appeal. The Grand Staircase Fall Front Desk & Bureaux anchors the vignette, its intricate woodwork and architectural detailing recalling old-world refinement while serving today’s need for both beauty and function.
Complementing the desk, the Jil Accent Chair and Kati Upholstered Chair add a fresh note of elegance. Their silhouettes and rich upholstery lend texture and poise to the setting—balancing timeless craftsmanship with a collected, lived-in warmth. The result is a study, where history meets the ease of modern living.
Century Furniture: Classic Forms, Modern Refinement
Century Furniture’s vignette brings quiet grandeur to the bedroom, where historical inspiration meets soft modern luxury. The Saint Germain Sleigh Bed reinterprets a 19th-century French silhouette with refined simplicity—its upholstered frame in cream performance linen lending comfort and serene contemporary appeal.
Paired with the Alexandre I Nightstand in Swedish Scraped Bone, the space channels the understated elegance of Gustavian design. Clean lines, light finishes, and thoughtful proportions evoke a sense of timeless balance—an artful blend of heritage craftsmanship and modern ease that feels effortlessly at home in today’s interiors.
