High Point Spring Market

,

PRESS RELEASE: April 1, 2011

Clayton Oxford Designs, a premier manufacturer and designer of sustainable home furnishings, introduces the Spring 2011 Natural Slice Collection at the International Home Furnishings Market in High Point, N.C. This collection features live-edge slab tables and desks saddled on hand-melded, custom-designed metal bases. One-of-kind cocktail, console and end tables materialize from the inventive construction of reclaimed materials like acacia, mahogany and teak. Each piece is designed by nature and crafted by hand, highlighting the distinctive organic styles and natural elements in the wood grains, knots and holes from the natural root.

With the convenience of a new 19,000-square-foot warehouse in downtown Durham, NC, Clayton Oxford Designs is bringing it all back home. Forging new relationships with local suppliers and artisans, they have increased production in North Carolina while significantly decreasing lead times, even on custom pieces.

“We’re increasing our control over the process by owning the production here in North Carolina,” says Clayton Oxford, the designer and founder. “We can make the most fantastic furniture in the world with materials right here in North Carolina in two weeks from start to finish.”
