James Rixner is taking on a new show-house project: Mansionin May. The largest room in the Blairsden Mansion, constructed in 1897-1903 in Peapack-Gladstone, New Jersey benefiting the Morristown Medical Center.
INTERVIEW:
1.What is the showroom’s design style and how does the furniture being used for the Mansion represent the brand?
The first word that comes to mind is "Glamor" The showroom ranges in style from Art Deco, Regency, to mid-century modern. The best way to describe the showrooms style is a contemporary mood with traditional values.
2/3. Describe the brand and the service it provides.
Originally known for a wide range of decorative mirrors, the Christopher Guy brand grew into a collection of upscale upholstery, seating, dining tables, sofas, headboards, office furniture, lighting & a private fabric label. Christopher Guy's signature design details include the patented “Chris-X” (pronounced kris-krôs) leg design as well the “Silk Cut” upholstery & wood detail.
Influenced by film, performing arts and the human form, the glamorous & alluring brand reflects a contemporary mood with classic values. Christopher Guy is the creator of the world’s most fabulous lifestyles.
4. What are you most excited about for MIM?
The Grand Salon promises to be the most exciting room in the Mansion. The marriage of James Rixner’s innate talent to conjure spaces that are elegant and at the same time livable along with the sculptural qualities of the Christopher Guy items will be a feast for the eyes!
5. What happens to the products when the show ends?
All the items will be for sale. And we hope that because the public is able to view the items first hand it will encourage them to buy the items.
