Florence pairs her iconic historical knowledge with the sophistication born of her French roots to craft a thoughtful range of affordable luxury products. She is personally involved with every piece of the collection, going to the factories worldwide to design, tweak and refine products. Her new collection is Chic and French-inspired, giving retailers quality pieces they can sell to their customers at affordable prices.

Florence de Dampierre says, “My A&B Home collection is all you need for indoor/outdoor living or better stated in French as jardin d' hiver. It’s very romantic and whimsical with multiple finishes such as aged metals and antiqued zinc. Colors vary from creams, tones of red, soothing blues and greens and stately blacks- all aged and antiqued as if they have been around for centuries.”

“We pride ourselves in bringing new collections to A&B as often as every 6 months. We are thrilled to bring the Florence classic designs for the garden and home to our showroom. Florence’s expertise and involvement in every process from the conceptual designs to the refinement in products overseas conveys beauty and quality in the products presented in the showroom.” said Nancy Shaffer, Director of Marketing and Trend Merchandising at A&B Home.
