Dragon 88 premiered
its Curve Collection at the jury selected International Contemporary
Furniture Show in New York (ICFF), May 19-22 at the Jacob Javits
Center, Booth 1413. Dragon 88's Curve Collection is a curvilinear
look that is dramatic and sexy featured in red mohair in a sofa,
chair and chaise styles. The sleek pieced coffee table is shown
in white leather with a pair of square ottomans. The pillows are
with pearls on silk, red mohair and a touch of mink.
The furniture
collection is available in ultrasuede in a rich array of solids
and prints. Another important look is the woven bamboo, cane, and
sisal shown upholstered with leather or as trims.
The Glamour
Pillow Collection is inspired by the Deco Period. The decorative
nature of the period is captured with pearls, feathers, beading
and fur. The pearls are on silk with a square, globe and neckroll
pillow styles. Dramatic feathers decorate mohair and crepe pillows.
The fur pillows are shown with beaded buttons and tassels shown
with luxurious throws.
The Glamour
Girl and Deco Girl Collections are inspired by the Shanghai girls
of the twenties that modeled for advertisements for make-up, liquor
and cigarettes. The Glamour Girls are executed two different ways:
screened on bamboo raffia with red velvet and beaded cord and tassels
and bordered with mink with gold tassels.
The Landscape
Pillow Collection are screened images of woodblock prints done by
the Japanese artists Ando Hiroshige and Katsushika Hokusai during
the Edo Period on reed raffia with royal velvet borders, and beaded
cord and tassels. The landscapes are very spiritual and the images
of the mountains and water are the openings to spiritual places
of enlightenment.
Dragon 88's
signature look is modern and exotic with a touch of whimsy. The
inspiration of this season's entire collection was the opulent twenties
especially, Oriental Deco. The importance of color, embellishment
and cultural art play an integral part in this season's design.
Dragon 88 showcases
its exclusive collections and an extensive library of styles for
custom development. Currently, the furniture collection is a total
of 60 styles of sofas, chairs, tables, ottomans and bed frames.
The swatch program is comprised of crepes, velvets, mohair, leather,
embossed leather, ultra suede, calfskin, snakeskin, and assorted
beaded trims, feathers and crystals.
