Collection Features: Like Mariette Himes Gomez herself, the internationally acclaimed designer, this signature collection for Hickory Chair is a study of elegant balance and contrasts. Her astute traditional perspective cultivated as a student at the Rhode Island School of Design, the New York School of Interior Design and as an associate of design luminaries like Edward Dureell Stone, Albert Hadley and Sister Parish is evident throughout her extensive collection. The Mariette Himes Gomez collection is a characteristically clean, more updated style portfolio that is crafted of the finest materials, and reflecting exquisite details and finishes. Each piece of this collection is a refreshing blend of classic style and contemporary significance.
