Harden, Copeland Relocate High Point Showrooms
Furniture Manufacturers Harden and Copeland Relocate from Longtime High Point Showrooms to New Locations
March 2008
Two vendors concentrating on domestic production, Copeland Furniture and Harden Furniture, are moving their High Point showrooms from longtime locations to new digs in time for next month’s High Point Market, April 7–13.
Copeland, Bradford, Vt., which makes natural hardwood case goods, will relocate from its home of 25 years on the fifth floor of the IHFC to space 5200 on the fifth floor of the Showplace building. Case goods and upholstery maker Harden, McConnellsville, N.Y., will move from a showroom at 200 N. Hamilton to a 7,800-square-foot location in space 133 of the 200 Steele building, a venue for high-end, premium vendors.
Copeland’s new showroom features an open floor plan, high ceilings, natural light, and access to an outdoor deck.
President and CEO Tim Copeland said the move better showcases the company’s line, and is more convenient and accessible to customers.
The move comes on the heels of a strong growth period for Copeland Furniture. Over the past three years the independently owned manufacturer has undergone a rigorous evaluation process to become Forest Stewardship Council-certified, obtained the exclusive rights to produce furniture designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, and expanded its own line of transitional furniture. Copeland Furniture also is a member of the Sustainable Furniture Council (SFC).
Copeland’s market niche focuses on sound design, high quality, exceptional service, and make-to-order capabilities in finishes and hardware.
The new space will debut several market introductions including the Monterey bedroom in natural cherry, and the Frank Lloyd Wright Francis Little Desk in quarter sawn white oak.
Harden Furniture’s 200 Steele showroom will be open year-round to interior designers in addition to the High Point Market. The new location features the company’s most comprehensive design center ever, anchoring an exhibition space with beamed ceilings, stone walls, exotic mouldings, decorative paint treatments and other architectural embellishments.
“The move to 200 Steele reflects our strategic focus on customer service,” said Greg Harden, president and chief executive officer. “Outside of the spring and fall Markets when we see our key retail customers, we can better accommodate our growing interiors trade. The new space allows designers to take full advantage of Harden’s extensive customization options and capabilities.”
Carol Tyndall, Harden’s representative in charge of showroom sales, noted, “We have seen a huge uptick in international business with the currency situation, too, and 200 Steele is a wonderful draw for that audience.”
Harden is a vertically integrated manufacturer of heirloom-quality case goods and upholstery, and offers numerous wood finishes and hardware and fabric options, among other custom specifications.
