CELEBRATING 60 YEARS OF CRAFTSMANSHIP
In honor of our 60-year celebration, Hickory Furniture Mart partnered with Vanguard Furniture to produce a large scale chair from one of their current designs. Craftsmen in Catawba County are well-known around the world for being able to customize just about any request they receive from their customers, including an oversized chair with an embroidered logo on the back of it! Help us celebrate 2020 by taking a selfie or group photo in our anniversary chair during your next visit to the Mart and send it to Tracey Trimble at ttrimble@hickoryfurniture.com. We will post your image on our website at HickoryFurniture.com/60. If you have purchased from us in the past, please send us your photos so that we are able to share all the different styles and designs of your favorite furniture purchases over the past 60 years.
“For the same reasons the best wine comes from France, and the best theater comes from Broadway, Catawba County is the heart and soul of furniture design and craftsmanship. And though it may have skipped a generation, domestic furniture manufacturing has returned with a vengeance. It’s in our blood. This Renaissance is being led by Vanguard Furniture which was instrumental in creating The Catawba Valley Furniture Academy. This specialized school helps young craftsmen and women to rediscover their roots, develop skills and command high paying jobs. With creativity in their hearts, skill in their hands and sawdust coursing through their veins, the North Carolina craftsman has reclaimed its heritage on the world stage.” ~ Laura White, Vice President of Marketing & Creative, Vanguard Furniture
