Paragon to debut Mark Abrams wall decor during summer shows

Paragon will launch the Mark Abrams Collection this summer. The line will include about 50 SKUs, grouped into two collections, Irving Park and Adventure Series.

Irving Park is inspired by the classic lines, colors and textures found in America's grand estates and homes, offering a formal, traditional style. Adventure Series draws from a variety of world destinations and translates them into wall décor items.

"Mark is a talented designer and merchandiser who has definitely made a name for himself in the industry," said Malanta Glassco-Knowles, vice president of marketing for Paragon. "We have known Mark for years, so we are thrilled to have the opportunity to offer his wall decor designs to our customers. These designs add another dimension to our current product offerings. We can't wait to present these products at market."

"I am excited about the opportunity to work with Paragon," Abrams said. "Paragon is a leader in the wall decor industry who is able to give the customers unbelievable value and style."

According to Abrams, the line features pieces that range from traditional to whimsical to contemporary. "The collection has a formal feel, yet I also include some unexpected touches," he said. "These surprises are great for today's eclectic rooms."

Several pieces were inspired by tribal art that, although primitive, has a contemporary interpretation in the collection. "The collection has definitely been designed with a designer's point of view, but it also works for retail, allowing furniture stores to have on-trend product to fill their walls," Abrams said. "The value of the collection is unbelievable, from a retail perspective."

Paragon is the newest of Abrams' licensed product lines, which includes Oriental Accent and Trees International.
