High Country

Traditional furniture with a twist is highlighted, while past influences are center stage, with several collections emerging from historical designs. Country style is no longer strictly white wicker, as darker finishes emerge, and wood and aluminum pieces hit the high country.

From Whittier Wood, the Eden rocker has a high, slatted back contoured for comfort, and is made from yellow balau in a nutmeg finish. |

Colonial Mills' Pinstripe Border rug, part of the Simply Home Collection by Janelle Lampp, features a patriotic red and blue stripe on the braided outdoor rug. |
| From the Wrangler Home Collection, the Corapeake rocking chair by Carter Grandle is crafted of cast metal but finished to echo wood construction. |

The Malta Collection from Rock Wood expands to include an extendable dining table featuring a fold-away leaf on an aluminum base. |
| The Montage loveseat from Veneman embraces a contemporary design with smooth curves and a dark finish, but still holds onto classic styling with its woven construction. |
|
| Ebel's Bastia chair is crafted of outdoor wicker and exudes Old World charm with its oversized construction and plush deep seating. |

The Mount Vernon bench is part of a licensed line between Terra Furniture and the estate of first President George and Martha Washington. Crafted of cast and extruded aluminum, the bench can seat three adults on its 64-inch seat and features a ladder-back design. |
| Influenced by chairs built for royalty in Twickingham, the Buckingham Collection by Lloyd/Flanders is built with an aluminum frame, fully wrapped and upholstered with Lloyd Loom wicker. |
