by Domicile 2.0 will include 40 pieces of case goods and upholstery for all rooms of the home
HIGH POINT — This fall, Bolier & Co., a division of Decca Home, is unveiling its second major product launch in partnership with Michael Vanderbyl, a San Francisco Bay area designer who is credited with establishing the region as a center of postmodern graphic design in the early 1980s.
Domicile 2.0 is the first collection the designer has developed in partnership with the company since its first iteration of Domicile more than a decade ago.
The original Domicile was a nearly 120-piece introduction offering dining, bedroom and living room, including upholstery, occasional and storage pieces as well as mirrors, daybeds and cabinets.
Domicile 2.0 will include about 40 pieces, featuring a similar mix of case goods and upholstery for all rooms in the home. Made in China and Indonesia, the mix is split about evenly between wood furniture and upholstery.
Company President Denis Crnojevic described the collection as blending American modern with the refined aesthetics of Scandinavian and European design, offering dealers and designers a look that features mixed-media elements such as bronze, aluminum and marble with oak as the primary wood species in dark and light finishes.
“The clean lines are meant for a sophisticated audience that is looking for a refurbish with a modern twist,” he said.
Complementing the company’s custom approach to creating furniture for residential and contract uses, pieces are also available in multiple finish options available through Sherwin Williams, and upholstery is available entirely special order in COM fabrics.
“Michael Vanderbyl has obviously been a pretty remarkable talent for us, and he continues to drive our business with designers and architectural firms,” Crnojevic told Home News Now, noting that the ability to customize the product through finish, fabrics, size and other alterations “has just been a staple for the core of our business. … And that’s really a differentiating factor for us. Designers that have come to know us, know that they can come to us and give us something specific. If they need an adjustment in size, or in height or width or depth, we can certainly accommodate that.”
Although many will see it for the first time at the company’s showroom at 4000 Piedmont Parkway in High Point at market, he noted that the company has it in production, having already written some orders from several dealers that have seen photos and renderings of the mix.
“It is already starting to ship,” Crnojevic said. “We have already gotten commitments from most of our major customers, and we also have written some orders.”
Based on additional customer feedback, there could be some tweaks or minor adjustments to the product when customers see it in person. But this ability to alter the mix ties directly into Decca’s custom capabilities and the needs of many clients that are looking for unique pieces that they can tailor into certain sizes, finishes and fabrics that make the piece their own.
“When they come in and have an actual look, they may decide to go with a different finish or have some other suggestions,” he said of the latest iteration, which has been in development for nearly two years. “So it’s still an open slate.”
