Traditional with a Twist

Traditional with a Twist

With its New Traditional collection aimed at Baby Boomers, Century Furniture brilliantly reinvents“The T Word”—and there’s nary a broken pediment or ball & claw foot in sight. Traditional isn’t what it once was. And that’s a good thing. Most of us, especially as we mature, appreciate the time-honored and familiar. But as today’s savvy trendsetters know, straight-up traditional style evokes yawns, not double takes. Like a classic black dress paired with an avant garde necklace (in lieu of pearls), or a formal table set with (surprise!) mix-&-match wine glasses, traditional furniture needs an infusion of zing to really bring it to life. Introducing New Traditional by Century Furniture. The collection—which features some 40 “updated traditional” bedroom, dining room and occasional pieces—will debut at the Fall 2006 International Home Furnishings Market.
