into Alan Price Designs section. I really like Alan's pieces as a whole and always order some. Last photo shows 'belt' trims which can be used as gimp or decorative border. These are real Italian belt leathers from Gucci, Prada, etc. They're costly and will add to the price considerably, but they're very cool.

While not new, the Steel Farm Barstool is my favorite. I have these in my home at my kitchen counter than we use every day. You can sit in this stool all day in comfort and it's so strong its likely to last several generations. One of the more pricey barstools, but the good stuff always is.
The exposed wood on the Dutch chair is even more handsome than that camera can capture.

This is the art of furniture-making. Look at the complexity of steam-bending that exposed wood on this new sofa! The joints are perfectly done (H&M owns their own frame shop, unlike most makes that sub-contract their frames to others). This is what I mean by H&M is setting the bar high and other makers can't copy this style. Its very difficult to make. And I ordered one of these for the floor, of course.
And that Rocker is a child's rocker! You don't get a sense of scale in my photo, but Alan challenged me to sit in it as he says it will take 500 lbs (I'm not quite that big). I considered the challenge, but decided I'd never get back up again being that low to the ground...lol

This new Parkway Recliner is the largest Hancock and Moore has ever made. Have a 6' 5" man in the house? This is his chair. Have a 300lb man needs a recliner? This one is wide enough. The photo doesn't show the scale, but I feel 'lost' in it and I'm 5' 11" and 235 lb, hardly a shrinking violet. Note the one piece back, no seams. That's an entire hide used for that. Impressive (most companies piece up the back)

This is the star of the show, the new collection by a young designer out of Texas named Chet. He's an ex-Marine, and a great guy - I enjoyed chatting with him. His take on furniture design is that women have 90% of the decision making process in buying stylish pieces, and the husbands pretty much just go along. So what he did was take his designs from the latest in women's fashion from all the top design houses. At first, I thought it pretty corny (hey, I'm not fashion maven, I'm the only guy at Market in a polo shirt and khakis instead of coat and tie). But on my second trip through I thought, "He's really onto something here". It's unique, its edgy, and its hugely stylish. Notice the one chair leg peeking out from the skirt....that's from Angelina Jolie on the red carpet at the Oscars (not kidding!)
Look at these with an open mind...
