HIGH POINT, NC, [October 2025] – John-Richard unveils its Fall 2025 collection at High Point Market, highlighting a season defined by material innovation and refined craftsmanship. The collection spans lighting, furniture, sculpture, florals, and wall décor, each introduction shaped by an eye for proportion, texture, and artistic expression.
This season centers on the art of refinement, where every surface, form, and finish is considered with care. Artisans work across a range of materials including alabaster, crystal, porcelain, brass, and fine wood, achieving balance through texture, tone, and detail. Sculptural lighting brings focus to organic forms shaped with precision, while furniture showcases layered veneers, tailored lines, and finishes that bring warmth and dimension.

Decorative accents display graceful forms with meticulous detailing, complemented by compositions that explore color, texture, and movement. Together they express a cohesive vision of contemporary design, unified by the creativity and care that define John-Richard.

Design in Context: John-Richard Products in Real-World Interiors
HIGH POINT, NC, [October 2025] – Every space tells a story, but it’s the people within it who bring that story to life. Across a variety of projects, designers and collectors use John-Richard pieces to add personality, texture, and refinement to their interiors. To understand how our products play a role in shaping these environments, we asked designers and clients to share how they incorporate John-Richard pieces into real-world design projects.
The first project we explored is a recent lake house curated by Sha Davari, Owner and Interior Designer at Art of Design. In this setting, she sought elements that would unify the living room while making a bold, elegant statement, turning to John-Richard for both scale and detail.
“John-Richard products provide statement pieces that elevate my design projects. The 60-inch Revolve Cocktail Table anchors this living room with great scale and elegance. The Mercia Credenza with agate handles, combined with the dark top and a touch of blue in the agate, pulled this space together.”
In other projects, accessories can define the mood and introduce color within a neutral backdrop. Susan Semmelmann, Founder and Lead Designer of Semmelmann Interiors, used JohnRichard accents to bring personality and sophistication to a dining room and adjacent living area, balancing ethereality with structure while highlighting her client’s personality.
“John-Richard pieces always bring an elevated touch of artistry to our projects. In this home, we used several sculptural accessories to strike a balance between ethereality and structure, bringing our client’s aesthetic, what we called global sophistication, to life. We love how John-Richard’s craftsmanship turns each detail into a personality-forward yet elegant statement.”

Building on that sense of personality and layered sophistication, Ann Marie James, interior designer at The White House Interiors, shared how she incorporates John-Richard pieces into a dining area. Carefully selected elements bring depth, texture, and subtle luxury, creating a space that feels timeless yet personal.
“We love using John-Richard pieces when designing homes for their timeless elegance and craftsmanship. Each piece tells a story, from the sculptural lighting to the artfully finished furniture, bringing depth, texture, and a touch of luxury to every space. This dining room perfectly captures that effortless sophistication we adore.”
The ensemble of the Shiro-Noda Fifteen Light Chandelier, Itadori Credenza, Mud Ring wall art, and paired lamps in Weathered Silver creates a dining environment that is both refined and inviting. These sculptural lighting and furniture pieces establish an elegant tone, providing a stark contrast to this next project in a bold, dramatic downtown residence.

John-Richard Biography: Timeless Design, Global Reach
WHITSETT, NC, [October 2025] – John-Richard is recognized today as a leading name in luxury home accents, celebrated for its artistry and craftsmanship. From furniture, wall décor, accessories, and more, the company creates pieces that transform spaces, combining timeless elegance with contemporary style. This reputation is rooted in the company’s beginnings in 1980 as a small subsidiary of one of Mississippi’s largest retail furniture enterprises.
Founded with five employees in a 10,000-square-foot warehouse in Greenwood, Mississippi, the brand’s first collection featured 38 hand-colored wall engravings. Named after the middle names of its founding partners, John-Richard grew from these modest beginnings into a brand celebrated for quality and creativity. In 1990, a fire destroyed the Greenwood factory and the company’s complete set of new High Point Market samples. Operating out of a space one-fourth the original size, the company rebuilt its operations, demonstrating the resilience that would define its growth. This resilience set the stage for expansion under Alex Malouf, one of the original partners who became owner in 1987.
Initially focused on producing the nation’s finest framed art, Malouf guided the company into new categories in the 1990s, including lighting, accessories, and accent furniture. In-house and independent designers drew inspiration from cultures around the world, creating distinctive, adaptable collections. Greenwood’s early challenges reinforced the company’s commitment to quality, innovation, and craftsmanship, a hallmark of the John-Richard aesthetic. Over the following decades, these principles guided the company’s steady growth and global expansion, setting the stage for its next phase of development.
Under CEO Alan Galbraith in 2023, John-Richard relocated its corporate headquarters and centralized distribution facility to a 236,000-square-foot space in Whitsett, North Carolina, placing the company at the heart of the Piedmont Triad, a historic center of the furniture industry. Greenwood, Mississippi, remains a key manufacturing hub with over 100 employees, producing the brand’s art and botanical lines. This dual presence allows John-Richard to honor its historic roots while supporting its national and international reach
With more than four decades of experience, John-Richard continues to evolve while staying true to its mission of creating exceptional furnishings that inspire and endure. Its collections offer a versatile foundation for any space, whether designing an entire room or selecting a single statement piece. By combining artistry, craftsmanship, and thoughtful design, John-Richard remains a trusted source for homeowners, designers, and collectors seeking timeless beauty and lasting quality. With operations across the United States and Asia and more than 700 employees, John-Richard brings a global perspective and careful attention to detail to every collection.
Craftsmanship in Every Detail . A Tradition of Handcrafted Mastery
HIGH POINT, NC, [October 2025] – At John-Richard, we celebrate the enduring value of craftsmanship. Every design begins with intention, created through time-honored methods that call for patience, precision, and deep knowledge of materials. Rather than mass production, our process relies on experienced craftsmen who refine each detail until it meets their exacting standards. This dedication to the human element ensures that every piece is one of a kind.
Our extensive collection of wall décor captures the spirit of craft at its most expressive. Many designs feature mixed materials such as hand-cut paper, textiles, metals, natural fibers, and carved elements, adding richness and tactility to a space. Select compositions are created entirely from individually placed push pins and thread, forming intricate, highly detailed statement pieces. Each work reflects countless hours of meticulous attention, with every element intentionally positioned to create compositions that feel alive and unique.
This commitment to nuance extends into our range of accessories and ceramics, transforming everyday objects into artful accents. Decorative boxes, three-dimensional objects, and finely detailed accents are carefully shaped and painted by hand, often incorporating glass, semi-precious stones, shells, or intricate beadwork. Ceramic vases, bowls, and sculptural forms are similarly crafted, with some remaining purely decorative and others transformed into lamps that blend elegance and practicality.
John-Richard furniture embodies the same philosophy, where each creation is individually shaped by the hands of talented artisans. Natural woods carefully selected, cut, and joined with precision. Panels, curves, and edges are crafted with care, blending traditional joinery with thoughtful reinterpretations. The result is furniture that balances strength and elegance, designed to endure while bearing the imprint of the craftsperson at every stage.
Our hand-applied finishes bring the process full circle, featuring surfaces with layered stains, washes, metal leaf in gold or silver, and reactive glazes that respond to heat and form. Patinas and coatings are refined until they strike the right balance of tone, depth, and texture. These final details are not merely decoration but the signature of the maker, ensuring every product carries a presence that cannot be replicated.
At John-Richard, no two pieces are ever alike. Each carries the story of its materials, the vision of its designer, and the skill of the craftsperson who brought it to life. The result is lasting artistry that enhances every space it inhabits.
