Stickley debuts Valmont and 28 new pieces at High Point market

Stickley is unveiling the Valmont collection and roughly 28 new items this fall at the International Home Furnishings Market in High Point, North Carolina. The lineup leans on French Directoire design, updated with cleaner proportions, new finishes, and expanded upholstery, rug, and fabric options.

Why it matters: - Stickley is using Fall Market to refresh a traditional design language for contemporary homes. - The launch adds new casegoods, upholstery, rugs, fabrics, and leathers across the brand’s showroom floor. - The collection broadens Stickley’s offer for bedroom, dining, occasional, and upholstered furniture buyers.

What happened: - Stickley is showing the Valmont collection at October Market in High Point, North Carolina. - The company says the market presentation includes approximately 28 new items. - Valmont is inspired by historic French Directoire design and is positioned as a more casual, livable interpretation. - The collection is crafted in quartersawn and rift-cut white oak. - Stickley introduced the collection with Flaxseed, Wheat, and Mink finish options.

The details: - Valmont includes 20 casegoods pieces: 8 bedroom, 4 dining room, and 8 occasional. - The bedroom assortment includes 2 beds available in queen, king, and California king sizes. - The dining program includes a 72-inch table that expands to 96 inches with a self-storing butterfly leaf. - Design details include solid-oak reeding, honed marble tabletops, tapered legs, and Antiqued Brass pulls and ferrules with a hand-aged patina. - Stickley Fine Upholstery adds two upholstered pieces for Valmont: an 87-inch sofa on an exposed oak frame and a reinterpreted Greek klismos chair with French Directoire details. - A new barrel-back lounge chair has a 39-inch depth and is available with or without a dressmaker skirt. - Stickley Designer Rugs adds two hand-knotted wool designs: a stylized lattice pattern and an Arts and Crafts rug inspired by a vintage leather book cover. - Both rug designs are offered in a wide range of sizes and shapes. - Portfolio120 gains an optional bed style for the Lucerne bedroom group. - The Lucerne bed is a low-profile panel bed available in queen, king, and California king sizes. - The headboard measures 49.5 inches tall and uses a decorative sunburst grain pattern in rift-oak veneers. - The upholstery fabric lineup includes 69 new fabrics. - The new fabric mix includes bouclés, basketweaves, slub yarns, organic geometrics, textured stripes, and subtle checks. - Stickley is also adding 6 new leathers with low-luster finishes, natural characteristics, and a wide range of colors. - Performance covers are available in durable, easy-to-clean, pet-friendly chenilles, wovens, velvets, and leathers.

Between the lines: - Stickley is leaning on heritage cues, but the product mix shows a clear move toward softer finishes and more flexible everyday use. - The breadth of the launch suggests the company is trying to create a coordinated showroom story across casegoods, upholstery, rugs, and fabrics. - The updates in finishes, proportions, and performance materials point to a strategy aimed at customers who want traditional style without formal restraint.

What’s next: - The new collection and supporting product introductions are on view throughout Stickley’s market showroom during Fall Market. - Buyers and dealers can evaluate how the Valmont collection connects with the new rugs, fabrics, leathers, and Portfolio120 bedroom option. - The broader rollout will likely depend on market response to the new finishes, sizes, and upholstery configurations.

The bottom line: - Stickley is betting that updated traditional design, paired with more livable materials and finishes, will resonate with today’s furniture buyers.
