ARCHBOLD, Ohio — March 31, 2016 — This spring, Sauder is challenging convention and demonstrating its leadership in shaping what’s next in home furnishings, not just the ready-to-assemble industry.

Sauder is leading the industry in defining what’s next in the world of affordably stylish furniture at spring High Point Market.
“Innovation has always been a cornerstone of our business at Sauder. It’s what’s gotten us to the top and helped us stand out in our industry,” says Mike Lambright, director of marketing at Sauder. “We’re constantly building on our design leadership to stay at the forefront of style and affordable furniture trends. We have 80 years of experience, yet we continue to be what’s next.”
At High Point Market, Sauder is featuring what’s next with:
- Viabella prototype collection — Internationally inspired collection embraces a modern eclectic aesthetic with Spanish Colonial and Spanish Mission motifs.
- Collection accents — Accent pieces add color and character to most popular existing collection
- Style and design innovation —Sauder Boutique creates a new market niche, and the innovation lab showcases what lies ahead for Sauder
- Eden Rue Collection — Newly available retro-chic collection brings history and whimsical character to consumers
Viabella prototype collection
Sauder designers and trend analysts embarked on months of cultural exploration through immersive international travel, gaining inspiration everywhere — from architecture and antique stores to local bodegas and fabric stores — to craft the story that would be told through Sauder’s newest prototype collection.The Viabella prototype collection derives from a rich cultural heritage and draws from familial memories of a storied past, combining a contemporary sensibility with elements of Spanish Colonial and Spanish Mission design and architecture. Taking cues from Latin American and Hispanic culture, the Viabella collection incorporates traditional graphic patterns and a handcrafted aesthetic.
The collection features a contrast of light and neutral finishes with deliberate bursts of color. Bold, heavy furnishings are countered by metal pieces with a lighter profile. Small accent items in the collection showcase vibrant colors, and ArtaGraph™ imaging capabilities allow patterned prints resembling ceramic tiles and textiles. Pieces feature exaggerated skirts, thin overhanging tops, distinctive hardware and two new finishes: Curado Cherry and Antigua Chestnut.
The Viabella prototype collection includes a mix of bedroom, entertainment, living room, home workspace and accent pieces. Pieces will be priced as low as $49.99.
Collection accent prototypes
Sophisticated colors and unique designs add a little spice to existing collections with the addition of new accent pieces.Bolder, brighter colors make these side tables and versatile display cabinets with glass doors stylish extensions to some of the company’s most popular lines, including Shoal Creek, Carson Forge, Barrister Lane, Palladia, Cottage Road and Harbor View. The accent prototypes blend Sauder’s expertise in domestic production with its import capabilities.

Style and design innovation
Sauder offers an inside look at its innovative, style-forward approach to furniture within its design and innovation center in the newly-expanded showroom. Two displays showcase what’s next in the world of design from Sauder — Sauder Boutique and prototype concepts from Sauder’s design innovation lab.Sauder explores a new market niche and proves high style can be affordable with Sauder Boutique. The high-design, moderately priced line builds on the company’s experience creating stylish and affordable mass-market home furnishings, while simultaneously challenging expectations of what stunningly beautiful, contemporary furniture pieces should cost. In doing so, Sauder Boutique is appealing to consumers who, until now, only aspired to own such pieces. Authentic materials paired with unexpected pops of color within compelling silhouettes give the collection a sophisticated look. Individual product prices range from $150 to $850.
Sauder also is showcasing a series of prototype concept products coming to life in its Advanced Development (AD) design lab.
