Often the most helpful thing you can do when wavering on a purchase is to compare it to something similar. As with any other industry, there are classic furniture styles that have reemerged throughout the years – with multiple brands offering their take on an iconic look.
We spoke to Stephanie, our Merchandiser, to discuss the differences between two similar chairs with very different price points: the Inman Chair from our Cambridge Collection and the Design Classic from Thayer Coggin.
Mid-century modern design is still one of the most sought after styles in the design world, and we have a few iconic designers to thank for that. Although many took part in the creation of this revolutionary, streamlined style, the brands Thayer Coggin and Eames are the most recognizable.
With their influence and innovation, they helped to define a trend in design that focused on sculptural elements, clean lines, and, most importantly, function and comfort.
We discussed both brands with Cindy, our Store Manager in Middleton and Anne, a Design Consultant, to get their take on their innovative design and continued influence on furniture and home decor today.
If you’re a mid-century modern aficionado, then you’ve probably heard of Thayer Coggin. Founded in 1953, the iconic brand remains a pillar of the mid-century modern style nearly 70 years later.
We spoke with our Pembroke team to learn more about the brand, the key style features, and their favorite picks out of the collection.
Push-back recliners allow for the ease and relaxation of a motorized recliner without the need for a motorized system. They float beautifully and act not only as a functional and comfortable seat but as a beautiful design addition to the home.

This was the goal for our Commercial Properties Interior Designer, Teri Carrier, and her team. Their challenge was to furnish and design a 1-bedroom with den model unit for EchelonSeaport, a luxury condominium complex located in Boston’s Seaport District.
When it comes to recliners, finding the perfect one for your home can be a challenge. Do you opt for something with power so you can recline with the push of a button? Or do you prefer a manual recliner that requires a little effort, but offers more of an aesthetic appeal?
Whether power or manual, you want a recliner that’s comfortable and on par with your style preferences. There are pros and cons to each, and we’re here to break them down so you can make the best decision for your home!
Sometimes creativity requires thinking outside the box - making new connections, seeing things in a new light. Like, for example, pairing your coffee preferences with a coffee table (link), or your tea with an upholstered chair.
Or, your favorite show with a corresponding piece of furniture. Can you take a multiple series show and dilute it down to just one piece of furniture that encompasses its tone, style, and feel? We say, why not!?
So, here are some of the most popular shows in recent history, paired with their furniture counterparts.
