HIGH POINT – Eichholtz is making a grand statement at this month’s High Point Market, debuting an array of new collections and high-profile collaborations, alongside an expanded retail presence in the United States.
Its latest collection, En Toute Élégance, takes its inspiration from the allure and sophistication of France, from the grandeur of Parisian boulevards to the breezy glamour of its iconic seaside resorts. A constant source of inspiration for late founder Theo Eichholtz, many pieces were designed to reflect his travels and experiences within the country he loved so much. This new collection channels both elegance and opulence, marrying architectural detailing with refined comfort.
Highlights include:
- Rubicon Series: Hand-laid wood veneers create rhythmic, mosaic-like surfaces on a new set of case goods.
- Outdoor Living: From teak loungers to rope-woven seating, Eichholtz extends French elegance to the outdoors with the Ombria and Hampton seating sets.
- Azura & Kallisto: Inspired by the rock pebble beaches that line the Côte d’Azur, this contemporary interpretation is a subtle nod to the iconic seaside destination.
- Dining Chair Costa with Shelf: This piece embodies the French influence of fashion on interiors.
New Met collection
The ongoing collaboration between Eichholtz and The Metropolitan Museum of Art enters a new chapter. In this third season, the collection embraces a more expressive and interpretive approach while continuing to draw inspiration from The Met’s vast holdings.
To bring the collaboration collection to life in an unexpected way, Eichholtz engaged celebrity designer and stager, Cheryl Eisen, principal of Interior Marketing Group as this season’s design ambassador. She will curate a “Met x Eichholtz Apartment” in New York to celebrate the launch, demonstrating how The Met x Eichholtz pieces can work in contemporary interiors.
New design collaborations
In 2026, Eichholtz will launch a lighting collection with A-list designer Corey Damen Jenkins.
“For years, I’ve been searching for the right partner to bring my unique vision to life in the lighting category, and I am beyond thrilled to lock arms with the team at Eichholtz. Their attention to detail and craftsmanship makes them a perfect fit for our brand’s ethos,” said Jenkins.
Jenkins will participate in several programs and events throughout market, including a conversation on Sunday, Oct. 26, from 11 a.m. -12 p.m. with podcast host LuAnn Nigara about how designers can grow their business beyond client work through books, licensing, media and partnerships without losing their creative identity or burning out. Their talk will be followed by a signing of Damen Jenkins’ new book, Design Reimagined.
Eichholtz is also collaborating with another designer, Vanessa Deleon, on a collection of case goods that is set debut at October High Point Market one year from now.
“I’m beyond excited to partner with Eichholtz on my very own furniture collection,” Deleon said. “I’ve used Eichholtz pieces time and time again in my designs because of their timeless elegance, quality craftsmanship, and ability to elevate any space. This collaboration is a natural fit, and I can’t wait to bring our shared vision to life.”
Customization options expand, new store openings
Eichholtz’ customization program, called the Eichholtz Atelier, is now offering more options to the program. In addition to its inaugural selection of American-made performance fabrics, it is giving the option of ordering items in muslin that can then be reupholstered in the fabric of a designer’s choice by his or her preferred upholsterer.
Finally, Eichholtz is opening two new American stores this fall, one in Las Vegas and another in Atlanta. These additions join Eichholtz’s existing U.S. flagship stores in New York, Los Angeles and Miami. It has also expanded internationally, into Portugal, India, Philippines, Egypt, Hong Kong, Norway and Switzerland.
