As you flip through these pages, our hope is that you can feel the love

we invest in each and every furnishings item.

T o our friends and first acquaintances, welcome to this season’s Caracole magazine. We hope you love it as much as we enjoyed creating it for you. With every product introduction, we strive to bring forth something fresh to our new and loyal customers. It’s you that inspires us, after all.

As you flip through these pages, our hope is that you can feel the love we invest in each and every furnishings item. The sensual shape of a table leg; a striking upholstered silhouette; the drama in a custom hardware design, or the touch of shimmer in a signature wood finish - these are the nuanced details that give our pieces their distinctive personalities.

In this issue, we are also excited to feature some of the extraordinary work of two talented interior designers. We love to see how they mix and match our products in both a residential and commercial setting. Many designers and retailers have additionally embraced our newest program, Caracole Couture, which allows for the customization of our most popular upholstery silhouettes. Customers can select from over 65 popular frames and an elegant library of fabrics and leathers, or they can provide their own selection of materials.

One of the most gratifying aspects of working on the Caracole brand is the feedback we receive from our customers. We never wanted to be like other furniture companies, and we always feel honored when buyers find themselves enchanted by a special design feature or some unexpected embellishment.

Throughout the magazine, we have included quotes from fans around the world. We thought you might enjoy hearing why Caracole is their go-to resource for stylish furnishings. Caracole is now sold in over forty countries, including the United States. Which makes perfect sense, since we love to travel and look beyond our borders for the inspiration that will continue to fuel a globally-relevant brand.

Thanks for sharing the love with us,

CREATIVE DIRECTOR

To add a sense of visual flow to an interior, look for furniture that has soft curves, or interesting legs with sensual shapes. Curves help to soften all the hard surfaces and straight lines in a room.

Gray tones in the pillow and upholstery fabrics, and the

shimmery silver quality of the leafed finishes, are in harmony

with the beautiful neutral paint colors found throughout this

featured home. To ensure interiors flow effortlessly from one

room to another, it’s important to include unifying details in

each individual room.

All that Jazz





Caracole is the perfect mix of whimsy and function to make a room sparkle.

- Machiko Penny, Walter E. Smithe Furniture

Chicago, Illinois

To achieve a modern feeling in the bedroom, skip the traditional bed skirt and opt for a fully upholstered bed with fashion tailoring details. Fully upholstered beds can also add a soft, comfort element to clean looks.

Crisp white linens tuck neatly into the upholstered side rails, making it

easy to keep a well-appointed bedroom stylishly intact. Lovie Dovie is

our definition of luxurious comfort. Dove gray velvet covers the side

rails, while also framing the lighter gray velvet interior on the headboard.

A contrasting welt in a creamy faux shagreen further defines the

headboard’s border. Tapered picture frame legs finished in a combination

of gold and silver leaf add to the bed’s elegant character.

At Caracole, we always aim to surprise and delight. Open the top

drawer of Buona Notte to discover its interior design - our own silk-

screened silver metallic pattern, as lovely as the lining of a couture

Chanel suit.

Pretty in PinkThe virtues of a great sofa dressed in a stylish neutral

linen should not be undervalued. As interiors change

over time, a great sofa with an interesting silhouette

has staying power. And it can be easily updated with a

new array of pillows when it’s time for a fresh look.

I love Caracole because of the timeless designs and exquisite

details that go into every piece of furniture they create.

And the names are so fun! Caracole’s hidden and multi-

functional features always add surprises and delight to the

shopping experience.

The rule of thumb when choosing an end table for beside the sofa is to look for one that is slightly below the height of the sofa’s arms.

A thoughtful mix of art, natural elements and lighting helps to express personality so that decor

choices do not appear methodic. Give guests a hint of what’s to come by establishing a warm and

welcoming tone in the entrance hall. Gold-y offers a dramatic display surface for art and collectibles

as well as the perfect proportions for a pair of lamps. A streamlined drawer is integrated into the

console’s design offering hidden storage for keys, mail and other essentials. The hand applied, soft gold

leaf finish casts an elegant glow in the ambient lamp light. An asymmetrical arrangement of art gains

balance with the clever addition of a pair of Hide and Seek ottomans.











Infuse any room with light and energy by selecting pieces that feature metallic finishes or reflective surfaces; shimmer and shine add another layer of visual texture to interior spaces, along with a little wink of glamour.

Play up a dramatic architectural focal point like a fireplace with a symmetrical

seating arrangement. Symmetry, when done right, creates balance within

a space and brings with it a sense of order and harmony. Con-seated has a

curvy, undulating silhouette that looks beautiful from every angle. Its tailored

upholstery and Almost Black exposed wood frame make it a stylish choice for

floating directly in front of the hearth.Italian Dressing’s top drawer is fitted with a removable, felt-lined jewelry tray, and the drawer bottoms are silk-screened in a stylish, silver metallic design.

Caracole is always on the cutting edge, with inspired designs that have unique personality and function.

We are excited to feature some of the extraordinary work of two talented

interior designers, Debbie Miller of Las Vegas, Nevada; and Lucie Patton of

Winston-Salem, North Carolina. We love to see how these designers have

mixed and matched individual pieces within the Caracole brand in both a

residential and a commercial setting. We are excited to see an increasing

number of designers recognize that Caracole offers great value and

enduring style for their commercial projects.

One large, bold piece of art strategically placed between the french doors over the console sets the tone for the room and gives the eye a place to rest. Choose furniture with a modern edge to complement the established mood.

Neutral doesn’t have to mean boring. Look for interesting pieces in an easy palette that give a

room kinetic energy. Dramatic silhouettes, sensual textures or striking artistic details can give a

room character, forgoing the need for busy colors or patterns. The highly-reflective, reticulated

Gold Bullion finished metal frame of Crushed Ice and Ice Breaker are perfect choices for a

modern, neutral setting.

Crushed Ice

Enhance the intimacy of a room by painting the walls

a dramatic dark hue. For a warm and cozy space, try

a tone-on-tone approach to decorating by mixing

finishes, fabrics and rugs with the same underlying

color story. A damask fabric like the one on the

Miss Priss chair is neutral, yet its lively pattern adds

movement and texture. The deep black chair legs help

to create a perceptible grounding effect.

The hint of metallic in an alluring gray-blue finish on

our playfully named chest It’s the Bomb-Bay adds to

the mix of visual textures in any room. The scale of

our custom made Mother of Pearl drawer hardware is

matched only by this storage item’s big personality.

Bar carts create a destination in the room where people will want to mingle. Take the next step and encourage guests to mix their own libations by stocking the bar with interesting spirits, stylish bar accessories and recipes for creative cocktails.

Get the party started with a chair they’ll be talking about long after they leave. The custom engineered frame of the Ice Breaker chair is wrapped in a Gold Bullion metal tone and the off-white linen-blend fabric offers simplistic beauty.

On the EdgeOften the last piece of furniture added to a room, the cocktail table

should not only complement seating styles, but consider also its unique

functionality. The rule of thumb is that the table’s height should be two

inches lower than the adjacent seating. To ensure comfort, position the

edge 18-inches from the sofa - close enough to reach your drink and far

enough away to stretch your legs.

Aesthetically, the cocktail table has an important role to play. It can act as

the main star, or serve as a strong supporting character. A glass-topped

table visually enlarges a small space because it appears to take up less

room. A table featuring rich, dark wood grounds a room filled with light

and neutral upholstery. Sometimes it’s difficult to find the perfect table

with the exact proportions. Instead of one large table, consider a creative

grouping of two or more small ones to do the trick.







Caracole showcases a wide selection of attractive, high quality furniture and accessories. They are known for attention to the details and the ability to combine luxury with livability.

When choosing a cocktail table consider all your options. Sometimes three are better than one. If your sectional sofa dominates the room, it may be best complemented by a collection of smaller tables in interesting shapes, like What’s Your Point, one of our favorites.

Exclusively yours. Celebrate your style confidence by stepping up to the Caracole Couture custom upholstery program. Select from our many luxurious and fashion-forward fabrics, finishes, nailheads and trims, to correlate with any interior color palette, and relish the opportunity to express your uniquely personal tastes and talents for creating beautiful spaces.

Our Caracole Couture program allows for careful attention to detail and the pursuit of excellence – focused on enduring design and lasting workmanship - because discerning customers aspire to more than mere function in a sofa or chair.

There’s more to exclusive upholstery looks than meets the eye. In the mountainous region of Western North Carolina, the historical seat of the home furnishings industry, generations of craftsmen and craftswomen have honed their skills in the art of customized upholstery.

Interpreting each individual customized creation requires several areas of specialization. As fabric and leather are cut and sewn, frames are prepared, utilizing age old techniques like 8-way hand tying, to secure the larger seating platforms. Many steps later, in the finishing room, each frame is a new canvas for the artist’s brush. A dedicated upholsterer completes the final critical steps of applying fabric to frame, resulting in a finished product that delivers your unique vision.

We are proud to work with this rare group of individuals who employ their experience in the application of your fabric selection to the Caracole upholstery frame of your choice.

And it’s our pleasure to serve customers like you, who value what it means to surround themselves with art and beauty at home.
