Vanguard recently announced that their Showroom will be the only place in High Point to see the full array of Thom Filicia’s Home Collection, including his latest furniture, fabric, artwork, wallcoverings and bedding in his newly designed showroom. Join Thom for champagne & sliders as we toast his new furniture collection and new showroom from 4-6pm on Friday, October 13th in the Vanguard Showroom.

Andy Bray, President of Vanguard commented, “For the past few years the Thom Filicia Collection has been one of the high growth product lines for Vanguard.  The same supreme talent that Thom and his team bring to product design with Vanguard they also bring to other lifestyle brands. We are thrilled to have a completely remodeled showroom where we can only show not only the wonderful products Thom designs for Vanguard, but also create an immersive lifestyle brand statement for Thom Filicia.”

The completely redesigned 10,000 ft.² space in the Vanguard Showroom showcases casegoods & upholstery pieces from Thom’s furniture line with Vanguard, many of which are adorned with his fabrics from Kravet. His new beds will be styled with his latest bedding and pillow designs from Eastern Accents, and the walls will be festooned with new artwork from Wendover Art Group and wallcoverings from MDC. The collaboration and curation of this immersive experience makes Thom’s showroom more than just a display of his new products, but rather a sensory experience that evokes the personality and point of view of the entire Thom Filicia Home Collection.

Many people know him for his role on the Emmy-winning show Queer Eye for The Straight Guy, and most recently for his humorous run for president promising to “Make America Beautiful Again.” Whether Thom is scheming an interior for one of his high-end residential or commercial clients, designing a sofa for his new furniture collection with Vanguard or giving a lecture on the future of the industry, he is able to connect with those around him through his unbridled sense of humor, endless passion for design and youthful energy.

Filicia says his Home Collection was born from his “desire to create home furnishings that are exceptional, accessible and designed for the way we live today. His collections capture classic simplicity, while introducing a unique modern flair that is both timely and timeless. They combine style and taste with today's desire for comfort, simplicity and innovation. The result is a unique look where refined details mix with raw materials, industrial elements play against organic features, and colors, textures and patterns are used in innovative ways to create a collection with a sophisticated and authentic point of view.”

Join Thom for champagne & sliders, some lighthearted jokes and home furnishings. Come toast with Thom Filicia at the Vanguard Showroom from 4-6PM on Friday, October 13.
