Author inspired furniture on sale at Sam’s

Sam’s Club is hoping the popularity of author Nicolas Sparks translates to would-be furniture buyers as the warehouse club has launched a new furniture line with a design aesthetic inspired by Sparks’ latest novel.



The six piece collection is said to evoke Spark’s signature coastal Carolina style and is being marketed as the Black Mountain Collection. The collection was inspired by Sparks’ 2013 book, The Longest Ride, and appears in the upcoming 20th Century Fox film based on the novel. The movie stars Scott Eastwood and Britt Robertson and will be released nationwide April 10, 2015. Set in Black Mountain, NC., the small town’s rolling hills and natural surroundings serves as a backdrop for the film and are reflected in the furniture line.



“We want the products we offer to help enhance everyday life,” said Cindy O’Connor, senior vice president of general merchandise for Sam’s Club. “The new furniture from Nicholas Sparks is one example of how we combine access to exclusive merchandise with value for our members. The style and versatility of the line provide useful accent pieces or a full collection depending on your home décor and decorating needs.”



Included in the line are a writing desk, a plush chair with ottoman, storage cabinet, leather office chair, bookcase and wooden trunk.
