Legacy Classic | Modern rethinks its approach to occasional furniture

Full-line resource creates freestanding groups outside of core collections that aim to complement multiple upholstery styles

HIGH POINT — Legacy Classic | Modern is taking a different approach to its occasional furniture lineup this market by offering 11 new freestanding groups that are outside of its core case goods collections.

The approach is a shift from how the company previously developed occasional groups as part of its collection business.

For example, this market it did not develop occasional as part of its Echelon bedroom and dining collection. Moving forward, the only collections to feature occasional as part of the mix will be its licensed Trisha Yearwood and Country Living collections.

Produced in Vietnam, the new standalone groups offer styles ranging from traditional to transitional and soft contemporary. They feature end tables, consoles and cocktail tables, all of which offer some type of drawer and/or shelf storage. Some cocktails also offer lift-top functionality.

This is a view of some of the new standalone occasional groups at Legacy Classic | Modern.

As not all buyers or consumers purchase occasional as part of a collection, the groups were developed independently, meaning they can be purchased on their own, while complementing many different lifestyles and room settings.

With cocktails retailing from $599 to $699, they also will be stocked in the company’s North Carolina warehouse, said Roland Maddrey, vice president of sales. This makes them readily available to customers who wish to buy the category in smaller quantities, while also being able to receive them quickly from the time of order compared to direct container shipments.

“Very few customers want to buy MOQ (minimum order quantities) for occasional,” Maddrey told Home News Now during premarket, where the company unveiled the new groups in a dedicated space at its showroom at 2622 Uwharrie Road in High Point. “They are designed to be independent, freestanding occasional tables that will work with anyone’s home décor. There’s something for everybody here.”

While the company is showing the groups in their own independent space, it will also continue to showcase occasional tables in living room settings as part of its upholstery offerings.

Its seating line features wood accents, bases and other wood trim that complements the strength of its finishes and wood story of its occasional tables, making it a viable source of furniture not only for bedroom and dining but also for complete living room vignettes.
