Artwork designed by Jo Sampson to compliment her new furniture range for Drexel in collaboration with Wendover Art.
Jo Sampson's debut collection for Drexel Heritage Furniture brings a stylish European sensibility that perfectly complements the quality and craftsmanship the brand in known for. Sleek and contemporary, but with a timeless feel, her new range has been thoughtfully scaled to work equally well in large spaces or less expansive city apartments. Ranging from cocktail tables and consoles to a chic modern take on the four-poster bed, this versatile collection provides the perfect blend of understated opulence and metropolitan sophistication.
At a party for hundreds of guests in New York City, Heritage Home Group feted the relaunch of Drexel Heritage as Drexel, as well as celebrated the brand’s partnership with Metropolitan Home magazine.
“Hundreds of key dealers, designers and social media influencers from around the country came to see the unveiling of the new and contemporary Drexel brand,” says Regan Iglesia, chief merchandising officer of Heritage Home Group. “Over 100 new case goods and upholstery pieces were introduced showcasing the new aesthetic. We also introduced a new collection from London-based designer Jo Sampson, whose notable works include restaurants, nightclubs and collections for other notable luxury brands such as Waterford and Wedgwood.”
Coming soon. Jo Sampson will be launching a range of dining, living and bedroom furniture for a prominent American homewares company.
