FRIDAYfinds! Amy Howard at Market

Once in a while you meet someone who you have an instant connection with…

This was the case when I met
AMY HOWARD
at High Point Market last week.
She gave the most heart-felt talk
to a small group of us who visited her in the J. Douglas Showroom.
 She is the founder of Amy Howard Collection and Amy Howard Home,
http://www.amyhowardcollection.com/
two incredible lines of furniture that she personally designs and builds
in her own factory in Memphis, Tennessee.

Amy Howard

As it states above, she believes every piece "starts with passion".  That is also her mantra for life.
The beauty of her furniture comes from the unique way she translates
inspiration she finds in her frequent travels to Europe.
As a designer herself, she says,
"An interior that has a sense of history and collection is the most successful"

In her showroom at market, the new introductions for Amy Howard Home were
both modern and timeless.
Although a deviation from her line of  antique reproduction furniture she is known for,
these new pieces had the same signature of quality and attention to detail as her classics.

I’m sitting in Amy’s favorite new chair, Klismo.
This style dates back to ancient times,
but her interpretation is so very cool in the Toscana Black finish with caramel colored leather.

Amy Howard Punti Sconces

I’m drawn to these Punti sconces.  

They exemplify what Amy Howard is all about…

She said about her new introductions, 

"Enjoy these new pieces and we do hope that you feel the love and compassion

that goes into each and every piece of our furniture that we proudly make 

in this amazing country of ours."

 

Thanks, Amy, for giving me inspiration to "be the absolute best at what I do"
