Celebrity interior designer Thom Filicia will introduce a comprehensive home collection this year. Designed by Filicia, the collection will initially feature furniture, textiles, lighting, area rugs, consumer appliances and broadloom carpet.
Honored as one of House Beautiful’s Top 100 American Designers and House & Garden’s Top 50 “Tastemakers,” Filicia is one of the most recognized names in interior design. Known for five seasons as the design guru on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, he was honored with an Emmy and an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Art Direction. Filicia is currently starring in his own Style Network series Dress My Nest and is the recent recipient of Interior Design magazine’s Merit Award for Outstanding Eco-Design. He has earned numerous industry accolades for his work with high profile clients like Jennifer Lopez, the W Hotel chain, and St. Vincent’s Hospital in New York City.
Safavieh will introduce the designer’s first area rug collection at April High Point Market at its Market Square showroom, Suite 120. The collection is the first residential program of the Thom Filicia Home Collection and will include hand-woven, hand-tufted and machine-made rugs.
Other licensed collections still to come are:
* Furniture - Vanguard (fall 2009)
* Textiles - Kravet (late spring & fall 2009)
* Lighting - Visual Comfort (fall 2009)
* Hospitality Carpet - Shaw Hospitality Group (fall 2009)
* Consumer Appliances – Amana (summer 2009)
“For many years I have designed custom furnishings for my private clients. It’s always been important to me that I reflect those clients’ unique personalities in my designs. I am now thrilled to offer consumers across the country that same opportunity,” said Filicia. “The Thom Filicia Home Collection empowers people to confidently express themselves through fun, classic, comfortable and bold furnishings. One of the most important parts of developing this collection was to create pieces for the way people live and entertain now. The result is pure, evocative design that is both essential and highly practical.”
