The collection reflects the new traditional style that Carter is
influencing in the design community, while embodying Thomasville's history of
exceptional quality craftsmanship. It is arriving in Thomasville stores around
the world this month, with a debut event near Carter's hometown, followed by a
series of how-to design events at select Thomasville stores.
"Darryl Carter for Thomasville is sophisticated yet comfortable, desirable
yet attainable, classic yet contemporary, and is therefore defining the
emerging style known as new traditional," said Ed Teplitz, president,
Thomasville Furniture. "By combining the resources of Thomasville design
centers with Darryl's no-fail tips, a designer look is now easily accessible."
Darryl Carter is hosting each event and will explain the design philosophy
behind the collection's artful mixes of woods, modern finishes and fabrics
that allow for easy, beautiful mixing-and-matching. He will demonstrate how
classic design details and modern function come together for a chic yet
timeless look that anyone can create at home.
Carter will also be signing copies of his recently released book, The New
Traditional, at the events to be held in the following markets:

"Your home should be a respite rooted in things you love, aesthetics and
function -- a place that pairs practical with beautiful and perfection with
imperfection," said Darryl Carter. "By providing a few key pieces of advice, I
hope to empower you to trust your instincts enough to be your own best design
resource."
Preparation for the launch of Darryl Carter for Thomasville began in late
2007, with an exclusive media preview held in New York for magazine editors in
early 2008. The collection was introduced to industry media and Thomasville
dealers during Spring Furniture Market in Thomasville, N.C. As a result,
anticipation for this month's consumer launch and in-store availability has
been sparked by coverage in publications such as Elle Décor, Traditional Home,
Western Interiors, House Beautiful and O, The Oprah Magazine.
Darryl Carter for Thomasville includes furniture, lighting, accessories,
rugs and textiles. For photos and more information about the collection:
