by HIGH POINT – Jessica Charles, a pioneer in American-made accent upholstery, announces its 50th anniversary, marking five decades of fashion-forward design, artisanal craftsmanship, and innovative comfort with a refreshed brand, designer collaborations and celebrations from April 25-29 at the High Point Furniture Market.
To commemorate this milestone during Market, Jessica Charles will host guest designer Kelly Caron of Kelly Caron Designs (@KellyCaronDesigns) in their new first-floor showroom in the 200 Steele Building where she will showcase personalized Jessica Charles pieces in her signature, modern coastal designs. The brand also welcomes industry partners, designers, and media to honor the past and look ahead to the future during two exclusive events April 26 and 28.
“This partnership with Jessica Charles allows me to inspire fellow designers and seamlessly incorporate timeless personalized furniture pieces in a real-life setting,” Caron said. “The new showroom intertwines furniture with stylish vignettes, creating a collaborative and clever way to merge functionality with the art of storytelling through design.”
Founded in 1975 and headquartered in High Point, North Carolina, Jessica Charles has become the go-to resource for designers looking for handcrafted accent chairs, swivel gliders, and upholstered furnishings that combine timeless silhouettes and modern personalization with livable luxury. With a commitment to sustainability and superior quality, each piece is bench-made using artisan techniques like eight-way hand-tied coils, ensuring durability and meticulous attention to detail.
“For 50 years, Jessica Charles has been the secret to a well-designed room, adding personality, comfort, and craftsmanship to bring a space together,” said Alex Shuford III, chief executive officer of Rock House Farm, the parent company of Jessica Charles. “This anniversary is a celebration of our journey, our talented artisans, and our valued partners who trust us to get it right every time.”
