Julia Buckingham for Global Views Collection Launch
Celebrated Interior Designer to Launch an Expansive New Collection During
Summer Markets
Chicago, IL. (June 2015) – Celebrated Interior Designer, Julia Buckingham, launches
her new collection of furniture and home goods with industry-leader Global Views.
Encompassing more than 100 products, the new Julia Buckingham for Global Views
Collection celebrates the journey of design and encourages people to not just decorate,
but to curate their spaces in a personal and meaningful way.
The collection will include a selection of furniture, lighting, rugs, tabletop and home
accessories by the Chicago-based designer, with her signature Modernique® style – a
marriage of modern and antique that gives today’s worldly home enthusiasts versatile
home décor solutions.
Launching Summer 2015 with the release of the Global Views Summer Brand Book, a
preview assortment of the collection will debut during Summer markets in Dallas,
Atlanta, Las Vegas and New York; with the unveiling of the full collection during High
Point Fall Market in October at the Global Views Showroom. For a complete schedule of
events, please visit www.globalviews.com.
“I am thrilled to introduce my new collection with Global Views. They have been an
amazing partner allowing me to bring the Modernique® vision to life,” commented
Interior Designer Julia Buckingham. “The unexpected spirit of my new collection offers
ease and inspiration to design enthusiasts everywhere, reducing the angst associated
with making a ‘correct’ interior design decision. The collection is based on taking a
curated, creative journey and creating an ongoing relationship between people and
their homes.”
“We are delighted to launch the new Julia Buckingham for Global Views Collection as
part of our new introductions,” said David Gebhart, Global Views CEO. “Her unique
approach to design and her signature style are a breath of fresh air to our collection. For
Global Views, this introduction is the beginning of a long lasting relationship.”
Julia’s energetic approach to interiors—relevant, soulful and stylish—easily translates
to her new collection with Global Views, where one will find a wide range of styles,
silhouettes and materials suited for any room. Her confident use of color is a recurring
theme in the collection, as seen in the playful Wiggle Chair, dressed in lively luscious
and wearable cut velvet; the Fragment Sconce, with Portuguese fused glass fragments
will illuminate any space with a fiery multi-colored light; and the Streamer Rug with its
waves of pattern that flow through a room with rivers of colors.
Julia’s dramatic use of materials and textures in her interiors is also part of the new
collection, where metals, woods, ceramics, glass and textiles live together creating
delightful pairings. The In Motion collection of wooden stick people (Frankie, Alexander,
Albert, Caroline, Jane, Audrey and Madeline), made out of exquisite mango wood with
an acrylic base, is a fun and unexpected addition that brings a sense of whimsy to any
space. Modern silhouettes combined with classic elements, a staple in Julia’s work, are
a reflection of today’s uninhibited, no-rules approach to design. The golden brass and
colorful glass in the Tea Light Chandelier make it part historic antiquity, part bohemian
heaven.
Objects and accessories such as the Time Travels and Wall Broach can transform a
quiet space into a memorable statement. The collection’s assortment of vases, bowls
and vessels elevates any interior into an art form; while the array of pillows and textiles
is an effortless way to add color, texture and style to a neutral setting.
A selection of tabletop, inspired by both old and new, promises to elevate all gatherings
with friends and family – Hex Ice Bucket, Decanters and Glassware are a modern musthave for entertaining, while the Modernique Glasses with Caddy are both retro and
glamorous bringing a updated design to a nostalgic piece.
With retail price points ranging from $49 up to $4499, within the Julia Buckingham for
Global Views Collection one will find an unexpected range of styles and items, easy to
integrate into existing collections and interiors.
