Vernare

Vernare is our newest retail partner up in West Hollywood and they just had the premier opening featuring Dr. William A. Embodens collection of African Tribal artwork entitled "Sacred Objects of Africa" quite amazing artwork!

But even cooler than the art collection is Daniel and his staff direction within the retail community. With a flourishing interior, landscape and architectural design business already in place it only made sense to create a retail environment for their customers. While that is nothing unique, the approach they are taking to the retail side of the business is quite different in that they are only offering sustainable and green products such as Maku.

To take a bit from the Vernare website "we seek the highest quality designer furniture, sustainable fabrics and wall-coverings, innovative and energy efficient lighting, lush, yet water-wise indoor and outdoor gardens, energizing fountains and more. With every item that we create or search out, we aim to have as little impact to the environment as possible."

What a refreshing view point and I am quite sure they will be successful! Many thanks to Dan and the rest of the Vernare crew for letting Maku be a part of their amazing store!

By the way, Vernare is latin for "Growing Green"!

Maku in HFN Magazine

This is long overdue, but I wanted to show everyone Maku's debut in HFN (Home Furnishings News).





This was actually the first print/trade piece to run about Maku (in April) and I remember being very excited when it came out (and when a retailer called Johnny asking if we'll be at ICFF.

BTW - Just to confirm what was blogged about earlier, Maku will be at ICFF this month. We'll be located at booth #2338 as part of the Left Edge pavilion.

More info on Maku @ ICFF and media hits to come soon!
