Celebrity interior designer Thom Filicia will introduce a home collection this year to include furniture, textiles, lighting, area rugs, appliances and hospitality carpeting.

Safavieh will introduce area rugs this spring along with Kravet, which will introduce textiles this spring and in the fall. Other brand partners include Visual Comfort for lighting; Shaw Hospitality Group for the contract carpeting; and Amana for refrigerators.
The collection cues in on classic simplicity and offers an unexpected modern flair. Designs will take a fresh, timeless approach and feature refined details.
“For many years I have designed custom furnishings for my private clients. It’s always been important to me that I reflect those clients’ unique personalities in my designs. I am now thrilled to offer consumers across the country that same opportunity,” said Filicia. “The Thom Filicia Home CollectionTM empowers people to confidently express themselves through fun, classic, comfortable and bold furnishings. One of the most important parts of developing this collection was to create pieces for the way people live and entertain now. The result is pure, evocative design that is both essential and highly practical.”

He owns a New York-based interior design firm, Thom Filicia, Inc., which specializes in residential, commercial, and hospitality projects.

environmentally sensitive approach to manufacturing and quality of materials wherever possible to ensure long lasting sustainable products," said ,” said Marc Szafran, president of Filicia’s design company. "These collections are rooted in the values that formed Thom’s childhood, growing up in upstate New York surrounded with the beauty of nature and its connection to organic objects and materials.
