Vendor Spotlight -- Currey & Company

Why we love Currey & Company

I first discovered Currey & Company in 1989 when they were mostly in the business of making reproductions of historic garden furniture (I still have the cutest iron chair from their Winterthur collection sitting at my vanity).  At that time, they also offered a few key lighting pieces.  At first sight, I knew Currey & Company was special.  The line was interesting, organic and fresh!  It was just what the design industry had been pining for -- a home furnishings line that was unique and memorable.

After 26 years, our love affair with Currey & Company continues and this is why…

Style and Attention to Detail

Currey & Company offers a wide range of styles in lighting and home furnishings.

For designers, every project is different and each client has their own unique style. I love that we can rely on Currey & Company to provide fabulous lighting and home furnishings in almost any style to suit our client's taste.  I can turn to Currey & Company to find styles from traditional…to rustic…to modern…and even to a little funky.  I particularly love their line of mirrored furniture.  These pieces can add a touch of glamour to any room!




Their pieces are well designed and thought out.  Currey & Company pays close attention to the details and have some of the finest finishes I have ever seen.  The glazes and lacquers are deep and rich, while many pieces show off crystal and beadwork that is beyond compare.  The shades and finials are paired to each lamp like jewelry to an outfit.  Every detail counts at Currey & Company and it shows.





We love that.

Expansive

Currey & Company is not just about lighting.  The company has grown and now offers fabulous furniture, upholstery, rugs and accent pieces.  They specialize in using unique materials to create products that bring a sense of wonder to any room.




Hand forged iron products have long been the speciality of the company, but the range of materials has been extended to include a variety of materials such as hand-carved wood, porcelain and brass.  "Currey International" has made it possible for the company to develop and produce a variety of unique hand made products and materials.  One of these is concrete hand formed to create fashionable furnishings of "faux bois."  Seashells and other natural materials also figure strongly in the Currey & Company product line.




We love that.

Cutting Edge Style

Currey & Company also stays current and brings cutting edge designs to our industry.  They are not afraid to "step out of the box" and offer up designs that are creative and dramatic.  Case in point is Shannon Koszyk's line of lighting and accents for Currey & Company.

"Shannon Koszyk's aesthetic is edgy, sexy, dark and dangerous, yet it appeals to a wide range of jewelry and design devotees.  As with her jewelry designs, Shannon's lighting is multi-layered and peppered with historical and religious symbols.  Her new products are both ethereal fantasia and ruggedly tough with a strong rock 'n' roll influence."




Some of Currey & Company's most dramatic pieces are in the new Havana line inspired by the reopening of trade with Cuba.  These fixtures make a statement and invite us to revel in glamour and elegance of a time gone by.




I also love the new furniture line Currey & Company launched at Market.  It is based on Edward Wormley's furniture designs from the 1950-60's.  It is a fabulously sexy line of Mid-Century Modern pieces that evoke images of Don Draper and Mad Men.




Who doesn't love that??

Currey in a Hurry!

Currey & Company offers a collection of lighting, furniture and accents that can ship in a hurry.

"Our mission at Currey & Company is to serve our customers in an exemplary manner.  To that end, the company invests in the inventory of products so that orders will deliver quickly and on time.  The products listed in the Currey in a Hurry section are guaranteed to ship within five business days."

We really love that!

Great Reps, Great Customer Service and Great Marketing Tools

Currey & Company cares about our clients, our business, and us.  Their customer service is top drawer and we can count on them to make our clients happy.  Also, our rep is fantastic and keeps us updated so we can offer our clients the latest and greatest Currey & Company has to offer.  In addition, Currey & Company has a beautiful catalog and "user friendly" website.  I also love their Facebook and Pinterest pages.




Currey & Company makes my job easy and I totally love that!
