Four Hands Home

I'm here with Adam Dunn at Forehands, and we're going to talk a little bit about shape and not mine. I understand you have some real interesting shape stories going on at tell us a little bit about them. Yeah, so a big trend for at t So really what we kind of thought about was for the past few years we've seen organics and softness and all of these very natural found items being in fas We kind of wanted to move away from that a little bit. So Forehands Sculpted Modern is really all about intention and its thought and purpose be I notice also that you're continuing to expand into Outdoor, that's a relatively new category for you. I saw some real interesting shape in that area as well. Yeah, Outdoor has actually been our fastest growing product segment over the past year, w So, anytime you do somet So for us at Forehands we think that Outdoor is really It's a separate room, it's just a new room in the house. So we try to take all of our brand concepts and design So we've got a lot of really cool shape out there. Tell me about how you mix materials because there's a little p I have to say that the that's what we do best in terms of design. So my team is constantly, we spend the majority of our year overseas in manufacturing and sourcing. Always looking for new materials, new functionality, things So when you look at a piece of furniture from Forehands, usually has at least one, two, And how we put them together and how we mix them is what really kind of creates the heart of a Forehands product. What are some of the new materials that you're starting to see trend on the upward side? Well, we've been doing a lot of Torazo, w So instead of doing glass, we're using marble in Torazo. Cain and woven materials have been really big over the past couple of years and we're still really going deep into that. And then we're exploring sort of So we're doing more acorn colors And then also going back to a lot of oaks that have been serruses, so if I'm a retailer and I'm trying to t What should I be starting to t Maybe it's time to move on to some new t It's a good question and it's kind of really store by store. So for us at Forehands, So we kind of t So I feel So that'somet And one of the t It's not granimals. It's not everyt How do you do that p What is the strategy be So before we go into any design season, we create a really strong creative brief and that talks about our material concepts, the stories, how we're going to be blending them together, our color stories, how the color translates from upholstery to case goods, how we can take those materials across multiple categories. So it's very purposeful. For example, when we have something Are there some particular color stories that you see starting to pop up t Yeah, so pl So like purple colors, pl We saw a lot of it in t So going into Great. Well, thanks for taking us through the shoot, the assortment. Yeah, it was my pleasure. Thank you very much.
