SABLE & DESERT

These new additions to the Modern Collection place a strong emphasis on woodcentric finishes, showcasing sand-blasted oak and oak solids that highlight the natural grain patterns. Two defining finishes anchor the line: Sable, a deep, rich medium-brown, and Desert, a soft, sandy light brown. These finishes not only complement the tactile beauty of the wood but also enhance the collection’s timeless appeal.

SABLE DESERT

Our new additions to Modern have the adaptability to blend seamlessly into transitional spaces. Each piece stands out for its versatility, whether showcased in a bold, moody setting or paired with softer, more neutral decor.

The Origami Hall Chest features brass metal cladding to highlight its intricate design, creating a luxurious appearance.

BRITTANY NIXON

BRUN

Universal Furniture caught up with Brittany Nixon Brun of Brittany Nixon Creative in Little Rock, AR.

How long have you been working with Universal Furniture and how has your experience been with the brand?

I have been an account holder for several years and I have been pleased with how they are continuously working to better the customer experience and tools for designers. The investment they made to their website has been a game-changer as well as a selling point for customers who need the extra visual. I am specifically referring to the special order upholstery visualizer. The High Point showroom is always a favorite because they have created a welcoming and eye-catching space. Each space flows seamlessly and the choice of fabrics and the lighting alone is attractive.

What was your project?

My client has a vacation home, and needed to replace some current furnishings because they were blocking an internal view. Specifically, she had two Bergere chairs that cut off the view of the fire box in the floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. Seeing the warmth of the fire was comforting to her, and she wanted to see that view every time she walked into the room.

What upholstery frame did you choose?

I chose the Huntington swivel lounge chair because of its low back. The chair’s compact yet comfortable profile fit the space where we needed something that didn’t read too heavy or overtake the room. We didn’t have space for oversized chairs and these worked perfectly because they were comfortable even with their smaller size!

How did the fabric swatches come into play?

I’ve worked with Universal’s swatch room both in the showroom and online. I like that the materials are easy to sort through, and grouped by special collections. The room’s color palette was a mixture of green, ivory and brown, so we chose Langdon in Natural. It’s overscale, nubby texture added visual interest to the room.

Did you use the 3D modeling feature on the website?

I love this feature! It is done very well and almost all frames that come special order are available with this. I like that it shows you the rendering from every angle as clients need that extra visual quite often.

How is the order process?

Ordering through the B2B Storefront is easy and the process is straightforward.

“The Learning Center offers the kind of wisdom we never got in design school—foundational lessons that often make the biggest difference in the long-term health of our businesses, our clients, our teams, and ourselves. It’s one of the few places at Market that goes beyond trends to focus on what truly sustains us.”

“We use the Universal Learning Center because it is a great venue to educate interior designers who are looking to scale their businesses and earn more money. We love connecting, training and helping our colleagues to thrive, especially when times are challenging. One of the best parts of mixing education with shopping market is the convenience. There’s no better showroom for breakfast and lunch, and it’s well-located on the campus. And, after walking more than 10,000 steps, it’s great to take a break and rest your feet while learning.”

“The Learning Center at Universal Furniture is my favorite educational venue at HPMKT-- it’s well located, excellent A/V quality, stylish and comfortably designed. And all presentations are recorded, so designers who attend live as well as online reap the benefit of expertise from top tier presenters and panelists. The content provided covers key aspects of the business of design and is applicable immediately in your business, whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned pro. Universal provides great support for the trade and the Learning Center is the best place to grow your design business.”
