October 2012 High Point Market and Photos (mostly Hancock & Moore)

[drcollie]

I have not had time to image the market photos I took as I would like to. My camera was set at too high a resolution to post them here on the forum without re-imaging each photo (dummy! I didn't check the camera settings!) so each photo would have to be run through Photoshop and re-imaged for size and other touch-ups. It would take about 20 hours to do all that so instead I have just dumped them all on my Photobucket account in the order they were taken (more or less). You're welcome to view the album but be aware each tag photographed is not necessarily in sync with the piece of furniture it either precedes or follows. These are just as they came out of my camera. And please don't ask me to interpret any out-of-focus tags, because if you can't read them - I can't either!

Best way to view these is in SLIDESHOW mode and just click the arrows left and right. I will not be posting these to the forum, so this is the best you'll get for this Market Photo Series. Click the link here:

I'll do a better job at Spring 2013 Market....have my camera set up properly and have TWO batteries with me as I ran out of juice on this one well before I was done shooting photos. I think these non-professional shots actually give a much better idea of what the pieces look like 'real world' than the pro ones on the website that H&M should be up in a few more weeks.

See the go-kart half way through? That was in Alan Price's section - he's one of their designers and made it including the frame and the seat. Alan and I always spend a lot of time talking cars and motorcycles and I like him hugely. I actually climbed in the Kart and told him to fire it up, much to the horror of other well-dresser buyers in the showroom who were in their nice suits and dresses (I am always the worst dressed in the showroom, never more than a Polo shirt and Khakis.) Told him that if he'd start it up, I'd do a lap around the showroom. He thought I was serious - and who knows? I might just have done exactly that....lol.

By the way, this was my very most favorite chair from Market. I think this design is stunning and I really liked the way the chair sat. Even the arms are very comfortable in spite of being wood. Really a sharp piece, and an Alan Price design. I did buy one, thinking I should call down there and have them do a pair for the store.

These pictures are great, and THIS is a fabulous chair: http://s1217.beta.photobucket.com/us...l?sort=3&o=143 Beautiful design. And I loved the go-cart too.

Thank you! That's the backside shot of the one I liked as well....its equally as nice to sit in as it looks. Alan hit a home run with that design, I hope folks will buy it so it stays in the line.

The chair is a work of art. Going through all the pics, I still notice how Capri leathers stand out. They look so rich.

I saw the use of a perforated leather in several pics. Does perforation really provide any benefits?

Just wanted to say thanks for going to the effort of taking and posting the pics. I don't see anything here to suit what I am looking for, but it's good to know that now rather than waiting for the official website update. Now I can ask for a quote and maybe a leather sample or two

Thank you for the photos Duane. Just glad to see what's coming up next with H&M.
