Our team likes working with A.R.T. Furniture, as we know that everything will always be of great quality. I think A.R.T. does a wonderful job of coming out with beautiful new collections that can tie seamlessly into our designs for our clients. They stay on top of trends, but always have a classic feel to their furniture.
I have always had a love of all things design. I enjoy collaborating with my clients to find their perfect style, whether that is a neutral color palette layered with texture or a mix of bold colors and patterns that really pop. I always know we’ve nailed the perfect design when I get goosebumps bringing the details together. The best part of my job is truly getting to know each client and feeling like we are old friends by the time the process is completed.

As we transition into fall and winter, A.R.T. Furniture is proud to present our new and inspiring introductions at this season’s market. We are thrilled to partner with some of the largest furniture retailers in the world, designing in tandem with them to launch some incredible collections into the marketplace this fall. At A.R.T., style and value are always in the forefront of our creative minds, ensuring that our new product launches will perform well in the retail market and take center stage in homes across the country and abroad.
Creativity is a non-stop process for our design team. “We usually begin development on our collections more than a year before they are introduced to our retail partners,” says A.R.T. Creative Director Katie Gumerson, “so we are constantly looking for inspiration!” This season’s introductions will focus on harmonies of mixed materials within each new collection. A.R.T. is poised to launch two new whole-home collections this fall, Portico and Mezzanine. Mezzanine combines lightly traditional style with a twist of eclecticism. “Portico is inspired by contemporary fashion architecture in Miami and reveals a mixed-material, high-contrast assortment,” says Katie Gumerson. Contemporary with an edge of coastal, Portico features a distinctive white gesso finish with a subtle stucco texture paired with a Mindi veneer that resembles oiled teak. “This combo is just so ‘Miami’ and really makes the collection different from anything in the marketplace." By contrast, says the creative director, “Mezzanine is inspired by the warmth of mirrored bistros in Paris, made more eclectic with the addition of maple marquetry and cool pewter accents.” Each product group, which includes bedroom, dining, upholstery, occasional and home office, has a unique sensibility which is also informed by the signature “DNA” of our Architectural, Reimagined, and Truth aesthetic. As part of our commitment to staying ahead of the design and business curves, A.R.T. will be enhancing and expanding our North American-built upholstery assortment, and these new frames will layer into our core casegoods collections. Our mission is to translate design trends by evaluating those that are performing at the highest level of the marketplace, then cost-engineer this inspiration into our price point. The Creative Director sees this as an effective strategy that keeps A.R.T. at the top of our game. "A.R.T. is a brand where we can pivot quickly, according to the needs of our customers,” she says. “We ask for their direct input during the product development process, and they see us as an important partner,” she adds. This feedback guides the creative direction of the brand, keeping us on our toes and tailoring our business to trends that sell.
Both our new introductions and those that are currently in the marketplace are innovative and truly showcase our “high quality, high style” mantra. “In our new collections that will be sold this fall and future collections,” Katie Gumerson says, “we are focusing on trends like fluid shapes in upholstery, plush fabrics with lots of nap and thickness, bleached wood finishes, high-contrast color palettes, and mixing of unique materials.” We look forward to sharing Portico and Mezzanine with the world, as part of our continuing and ever-evolving A.R.T. design story!
