Midwest-CBK introduces trend-forward additions to Gifts for Home line.
May 22, 2012
Midwest-CBK, leading designer and manufacturer renowned for its design, style and sparkle, presents the latest in décor and accessories with more than 350 new products for the Gifts for Home line. Midwest-CBK’s June 2012 Gifts for Home collection focuses on well-designed pieces at accessible price points, with most items at $30 wholesale or less. The new collection is inspired by lifestyle, fashion and home décor trends, and exclusively created by Midwest-CBK’s in-studio and popular licensed designers. All new collections will debut during the 2012 summer markets in Midwest-CBK showrooms across the country, and initial shipment to retailers begins in July 2012.

“The new additions in Midwest-CBK’s Gifts for Home line are infused with simplicity, clarity and fresh colors,” says Beth Lorentz, Midwest-CBK vice president of product development. “These gifts are both thoughtfully designed and affordable – an irresistible way for shoppers to share everyday elegance and trends with others, or enjoy in their own homes.”

The new pieces join the line’s best-selling products, maximizing sales for independent retailers with a mix of exciting new designs and time-proven classics. The line emphasizes gifts and home accent pieces, such as tabletop, pillows, lighting and wall décor. Key collections include:
• Vintage Chic: A strong trend in home décor and best-selling Midwest-CBK Gifts for Home collection, Vintage Chic features a romantic indulgence of casual, feminine elegance that embraces all that is romantic, beautiful and delicate. Old meets new in an eclectic mix of designs washed in delicate, muted pastels and pops of muted purples, deep greys, and classic black. Distressed finishes and antique patterns add layers of nostalgia, while delicate script design, brocade patterns, and crystal chandeliers lend a modern flair. The 70 new Vintage Chic pieces include candle holders, pedestal stands, trays, frames, paperweights and magnets, magnet boards, wall art, wall hooks, lighting such as lamps and chandeliers, luxurious velvet pillows, lanterns, mirrors, a desk clock and baskets. These new designs join existing pieces such as ottomans, pillows and linens; designs for the office including waste bin, storage, pencil cup, bookmarks, journals and pens; and designs for the kitchen and entertaining including cake stands, cupcake towers, organics, bowls, plates and platters.
• Wine & Serveware: Midwest-CBK’s Wine & Serveware collection celebrates the popular consumer trend of all things wine and wine-related. The collection uncorks the artful style of original and functional designs featuring grapes, vines and cork applied as graphic elements. Stylish wine ware and gifts in a sophisticated palette of cream, olive, brown and burgundy using metal, wood and glass are perfect for intimate wine tastings at home. The line’s 45 new pieces include bottle stoppers, wine bottle holders for table and wall, cork holders, bottle openers, candle holders, and frames. They join existing items such as tabletop serveware and hostess gifts including cheese boards, spreader and stopper sets, wine arcs, and wine plaques.
