EJ Victor Partners with Perennials Fabrics® to Debut New Perennials Social Collection

Furniture World News Desk on 10/11/2017


Luxury case goods and upholstery manufacturer EJ Victor recently announced that they have continued their partnership with high-end performance fabrics leader Perennials Fabrics for a licensed collection of fully upholstered furniture to be showcased at the Fall High Point Market. The collection, Perennials Social, is the second installment of the furniture line, initially debuted at the Spring High Point Market.

The Perennials Social collection is designed for lives lived enthusiastically. Designed in collaboration with renowned designer Bobby McAlpine, the collection is beautifully sophisticated and livable, comfortably chic and speaks to a wide variety of interiors from classic to contemporary. Upholstered in select Perennials’ 100% solution-dyed acrylic fabrics, the pieces are made to brilliantly stand up to life’s everyday adventures without sacrificing great design and style.

“Perennials is recognized internationally as the industry leader for fabrics that have both superior quality and distinguished design, as well as performance,” says John Jokinen, president and CEO of EJ Victor. “They truly are pioneers in their space and the world of design, and this endeavor is proof of that fact. Last market, we offered a small glimpse – seven upholstered pieces – of what would come from this collaboration. I am delighted to offer the full Perennials Social Collection this market – almost thirty upholstery and case pieces. I am positive that this collection will be met with delight and enthusiasm at High Point. They have recognized that the touch of fabrics resonates with the consumer - protection is a bonus! They are masters in their introductions!”

The new collection consists of 15 key pieces, including the F.Scott chair, Trillium stool, Ovum stool, Jamie Mae low back dining chair, Jamie Mae high back dining chair, Jamie Mae armless duo dining bench, Jamie Mae side chair, Zelda chair, John Marie sofa, Regalia counter height stool, Regalia counter height bench, Carraway dining table, Epaulette trefoil ottoman, Epaulette rectangular ottoman and Trivet drink table.

In addition to the new line, Perennials will be showing pieces from the Spring Market collection, including the Chit Chat Chair, Soiree Sectional (an expansion from the original Soiree chaise), Soiree Ottoman, Chow Chair, Cheeky Chair, Perch Bench and Sunday Sofa with both a tight and loose cushion. The pieces boast crisp, clean lines and rich textures, and are expertly crafted around the principles of liveability and longevity. Color palettes range from softly subtle to saturated brights.

“We are thrilled to debut our brand new, updated Perennials Social collection at the Fall Market, and are delighted to once again partner with the accomplished, innovative design powerhouse EJ Victor on this project,” says Ann Sutherland, president of Perennials and Sutherland, LLC. “This season’s Perennials Social collection is designed to take you effortlessly and enthusiastically through life. We worked with Bobby McAlpine to make the pieces in the collection as satisfying to the hand as they are to the eye, and able to take a direct hit from a Cabernet and bleach clean without a trace. The pieces uniquely blur gender and timelines, with a wink to the past and an unabashed toast to the future.”

All Perennials fabrics are independently tested and certified in accordance with industry standards, including resistance to soil, water, UV radiation, tearing and abrasion. The fabrics in this collection are also bleach cleanable and feature Perennials NanoSealTM finish for extra protection against the elements. More than just a coating, Perennials NanoSealTM is molecularly bonded with the fibers providing long- lasting protection even after repeated washings.

The Perennials Social collection will be showcased during the Fall High Point Market in the EJ Victor Showroom, 116 South Lindsay Street, High Point, North Carolina. For more details, contact info@ejvictor.com.
