by ATLANTA — Following a successful launch as part of the company’s portfolio in the fall, Hooker Furnishings’ newest acquisition, Bobo Intriguing Objects, will be on display for the first time at the Atlanta Market in the Hooker Furnishings showroom. Merchandised throughout the space among several of the company’s additional brands, products range from lighting to accent furniture to small decorative pieces including tabletop accessories, planters and candles, art, mirrors and textiles.
“Featuring a curated selection of products from our many consumer-facing brands, our Atlanta showroom offers our customers a boutique shopping experience, now layered with lighting and décor items from our Bobo Intriguing Objects brand,” said Johne Albanese, chief marketing officer at Hooker Furnishings.
“Following the grand opening of our showroom in Atlanta last summer, we’re looking forward to our first winter market in our new space,” he added. “In addition to Bobo Intriguing Objects, buyers can expect to see some of our newest case goods, modern leather seating and custom, domestic fabric upholstery from our Hooker Case Goods, Hooker Upholstery, HF Custom, Bradington-Young, M, Drew & Jonathan Home, Pulaski Furniture, and SLF brands.”
Curated by Bobo founder Mark Sage, who has spent the last 20 years traveling to more than 50 countries in search of discovering one-of-a-kind pieces and reimagining them with a new story, highlights of the Bobo Intriguing Objects items on display in Atlanta include:
- Metal Beaded Chandelier – The Metal Beaded Chandelier makes a statement in any room with its beaded black iron ornaments that are set with a collection of vintage ball lights. Available in two sizes – small and large – it includes a durable black hanging chain and canopy. Because of its ornate look, the Metal Beaded Chandelier skillfully melds the baroque, contemporary and industrial styles together to create a truly unique design.
- Wooden Polyhedron Chandelier – The Wooden Polyhedron Chandelier is an exclusive art deco piece with an unexpected lightweight design. The polyhedron frame is crafted of oak with a natural finish and includes an iron chain and canopy. It comes in three sizes – small, medium, and large – and is capable of adorning almost any space.
- Antique Rice Wine Jars – Previously used to store rice wine in Asia, these antique reproduction jars are part of a one-of-a-kind collection. Replicating their original vintage color tones of varying whites and greys, the jars make appealing decorative items for shelves or tabletops and can be used as vases.
- Lizmark Wrestler Head Coin Bank – A reproduction of an antique Mexican Wrester’s mask once used by Luchadores, the mask has been reimagined into a hand-painted children’s bank for coins with a slot in the top. These fun banks are available in eight different patterns.
- Swiss Army Pouf – As a part of the vintage Swiss Army fabric collection, inspired by original Swiss Army military blankets, the Swiss Army Pouf provides a multifunctional retro design. Crafted with wool fiber, details include a refined zigzag hem and a signature stripe with emblem. The pouf is available in three sizes as well as four antique color combinations including black and cream, red and brown, brown and green, and orange and gray.
Along with the new product assortment, the company will again host its daily happy hour Tuesday January 16 through Friday, January 19 beginning at 3 p.m. Dubbed, “Feeling Peachy? The Daily Fuzz,” customers are encouraged to stop by at their leisure for a designer-inspired happy hour where conversation, community and creativity collide.
