Macy's to carry exclusive 'Calvin Klein' furniture line

NEW YORK Beginning January 2009, Macy's will exclusively carry The ‘Calvin Klein’ furniture line at select stores. The line, part of the Calvin Klein Home division, is merchandised into three groups inspired by their ultimate use--City, Weekend and Destination. Items in the ‘Calvin Klein’ furniture line at Macy’s will range in price from $850 for a glass end-table to $2,600 for a canopy bed.

The Calvin Klein Home division also will launch ‘The curator collection by Calvin Klein Home,’ a more elaborately-detailed line of approximately 65 SKUs. Pieces include a tall chest of drawers with valet doors, a parchment-front dresser and a hand-rubbed walnut day bed with all-natural linen upholstered cushion and pillows. ‘The curator collection’ is planned to be available at fine furniture retailers nationwide and range from $1,100 for a cocktail table to $5,000 for a walnut sleigh bed with hand-applied gold leaf. A line of decorative pillows also will be designed to specifically complement the collection.

All designs were conceptualized and executed by an in-house team led by Calvin Klein Home’s creative director Amy Mellen. Both lines take inspiration from the Calvin Klein apparel and accessory lines in textures, materials and hardware.

"Strategically, the addition of furniture is very significant for us as it further extends the Calvin Klein Home lifestyle product offering," said Tom Murry, president and ceo of Calvin Klein, Inc. “I believe our team has done a great job creating collections that are true to the Calvin Klein brand DNA while at the same time incorporating elements that exude warmth and comfort to appeal to a wide consumer base.”
