Answer 1:

The Columbus Avenue Collection is completed by a comfortable Lounge Chair in a convenient medium size (with fixed- and loose-cushion options), plus a charming Tea Table that features splayed legs and keyed tenons. Both are available in either quartersawn white oak or wild black cherry.

The Columbus Avenue Collection will be the first pieces of Stickley furniture to carry the new Stickley shop brand. The fresh brand features the updated Stickley logo and the image from Gustav Stickley's original shop mark—a woodworker's compass encircling the Flemish words “Als ik kan” (To the best of my ability). This replaces the previous Stickley brand that debuted in 1985, and it will be used across the Stickley line.

Additional new pieces presented by Stickley at the April market are two Mission benches; two backboards that add fresh flat-screen adaptabilities to Mission entertainment consoles; a new small, modular bookcase for the Metropolitan line; and a low-footboard bed in the St. Croix collection.

Answer 2:

There are not so many Stickley products that might easily penetrate the EU Market even with a good marketing strategy. One of those, which I think might be successful is the Stickley furniture, as Bulgaria has traditions in this branch of the industry, and there are at least 10 factories which have been privatized and are already exporting their production to overseas markets like USA, Canada and the Middle East.

On the other hand, because of different factors, which I will briefly mention below, it is considered that if a product can be successfully launched in Belgium, it has a good chance of being successful in other EU countries.

Answer 3:

Stickley has now reissued seven impressive furniture designs that can live up to the historic:

The Gus Sideboard is both visually and physically powerful—with its 1¾”-thick oak slab sides, and solid-cast copper strap hinges and star-and-pyramid pulls. Antique originals of this design are exceedingly desirable but rare, and the modern version is actually an enhancement in several ways—for instance, the drawers are now side-hung and center-guided, and the extraordinarily wide doors are engineered to eliminate humidity-related binding that troubled the 1902 edition.

With its broad dimensions, thick overhanging top, 12 distinctive pegs that lock its deep apron, and shoe feet on canted legs, the Director's Table is a Craftsman classic. The Director's Table used by the Stickley family at their Columbus Avenue home was auctioned at Christie's for $110,000 more than two decades ago. This reissue has been carefully proportioned for modern homes (a 42” x 84” top, 30” high).

The Westcott Street Library Table features boldly massive legs, through-tenons, and wooden pins that establish the strength and permanence of its form, while twelve gentle corbels lend beautiful curves. Two drawers are adorned with star-and-pyramid copper pulls, while a secret middle drawer relies on a hidden release.

A beautifully proportioned addition to this lineup is the Victoria Place Display Cabinet. Elements of gothic revival and art nouveau can be seen in the arched mullions and arching above the oak ...
