Staff -- Home Accents Today, 10/1/2006

Century Designer Showroom partnered with L.A. Mart Design Center to open an impressive 8,900-sq.-ft. showroom on L.A. Mart's Main Level to showcase Century's signature collections.

"The L.A. Mart Design Center is the logical choice to advance Century's market presence in Southern California," said Alex Shuford III, director of trade product and sales for Hickory, N.C.-based Century Furniture. "We are impressed with L.A. Mart's evolution as an important design destination, which we believe attracts a broader range of design professionals who respond to the Century brand."

Oscar de la Renta, Richard Frinier and Kelly Hoppen are among Century's celebrated designer licensees featured within the new showroom, which will offer an extensive selection of furniture, upholstery, fabrics, lighting and accessories.

"We are thrilled to welcome Century Designer Showroom to our Design Center," said Gerry Seibel, vice president and general manager, L.A. Mart and L.A. Mart Design Center. "The opening of the Century Designer Showroom emphasizes our strategic focus on luxury brands, furthering our position as an important and vital resource to serve the Southern California design trade."

The grand opening of the showroom was marked earlier this month with a tabletop display, "Styling for the Holidays." Consumer magazine, Traditional Home's Design and Tabletop Editor Krissa Rossbund styled three dining collections on the Century showroom floor for the holidays.

She selected tabletop and accessories from L.A. Mart tabletop showrooms including L'Objet, Mottahedeh, Vietri, Faberge and others.

These tabletop settings were featured at the grand opening of the Century Designer Showroom in the L.A. Mart.
