Francis King, Ltd. is one of our favorite furniture showrooms at IMS. Charlie, Mary, Lynn, Kali and Petra are all wonderful – they help us find our clients some wonderfully unique pieces for their homes. The last time we were in their showroom, we snapped some pictures of the new furniture and accessories they have.
You’ll notice lots of color for 2012…
Above: These two upholstered chairs have beautiful soft curved lines and can be custom ordered to be upholstered in endless choices of fabric.
Above: The bold snail pillow adds a pop of color and whimsy to sofa or chair. The pillow’s poppy-tangerine and watery blue are some of Pantone’s colors for Spring.
Above: Color definitely is taking center stage this season in the showroom. You can find purple upholstered chairs, amber colored hurricanes, bright red garden stools, bold green accessories and much, much more.
Another benefit to this wonderful showroom is that they feature many made in America furniture lines.
Francis King sells to the trade only so if you’d like a peek to see what could work in your home, give us a call – we’d be glad to give you a showroom tour.
