April 2011 Market : Hancock & Moore

Yes, two new sectionals, the York and the Donatello. Both Contemporary.

Yes, there is a new sofa. the "CARMEN" with a button-tufted back, sort of a cross between a Sundance and McNary. I liked it so much I ordered one for floor stock. Here's a look at it....I ordered one exactly as shown, same extras and options and color leather.

Oh wow, that is a really nice sofa. Thanks for sharing. I will keep checking back, I am curious to see the new sectionals as well.

New Market Pieces, Spring 2011. These will not be on the H&M website anytime soon, nor will the *new* leathers be available as samples in dealerships. What you are seeing is the first photos on the new items and it may be 30 to 60 days before these are in the system. However, all are available for order now. Any 'new' leather introduced at market may not have inventory on the hide at H&M, so expect the possibility of longer-than-normal build times in those hides.

Format for the new items is the picture of the piece, then a photo of the detail tag following it. I have to run each photo through Photoshop to crop it and size it and correct any color/lighting issues, so it may take up to a week to post them all, keep checking back.

Any prices you see on the tags are MSRP and have options on many of them. No one sells at MSRP, rest assured.

FYI, Gray colors are 'in' right now so you will see many pieces in that color A few shots are group shots with no descriptions on the pieces, but I can always find out what they are if you are seriously interested in a piece. Not every piece is a new introduction, so you will see some time-tested favorites in there as well. Enjoy!

Last Market I took a little point n shoot Fuji pocket camera. This time I took a serious camera, a Nikon D-7000 with 10mm-24mm Wide Angle lens and used a Nikon Speedlite flash. I think you'll see a difference....

This is one of two new sectionals at H&M, the Donatello. Its very nicely done, looks rich and elegant.

Echo is a GR 5 'pressed' aniline leather on the sofa, this is as good as leather gets. These were the entry pieces when you came into the showroom by the front desk.

Stoplight Green your thing? We have your sofa....

Look at the design features on the Balfour chair, the welt trim is an inexpensive customization option that really gives the chair some *pop*. Can't say I ordered anything in Largo Clover for my store, but in the right decorating scheme such as sunroom overlooking a plush garden, it would look pretty smart.

This new Tortuga Chestnut leather looks fantastic on the Linley chair. Well done!

Notice the nail trim detail on the Ripley Sofa, a pair of "A" nails, then a space, then a single AA (large) nail. Very different and something you can customize on any H&M piece (charges apply).

An entire sofa in Tortuga, GR 5. Don't think you'll be seeing this at Ashley Furniture.

Look closely at the interior leather (seat back) on the Neko chair and you'll see its done in a decorative leather. Very sharp.

Two chairs...the Harris Chair is showing the new CAPTIVA leather from Italy, price grade 2. This is a good leather. Me like.
