James Hudson, Furniture Development Director at Gallery Direct, talks about their new collection and how furniture plays an important part of our everyday life.

Furniture, an integral part of our daily lives, serves both functional and aesthetic purposes. Whether it’s a cozy sofa for unwinding after a long day, a sturdy dining table for family gatherings, or occasional pieces to complete a room, furniture is an essential part of our homes.

Gallery Direct already offer an amazing array of furniture, but their team, led by James Hudson, Furniture Development Director, have been working hard over the last few months, designing and developing their SS24 Collection, to expand their offering still further.

James told us: “The new collection will offer a fantastic extension to our current furniture catalogue, with around 50% growth in the number of lines. All the new products have been designed in-house by the Gallery team to create exclusive designs. We have spent a lot of time in supplier factories, developing and refining ideas, to bring this exciting collection together, which offers a range of styles to cover all looks and tastes including strong timeless classics, and the all-important Gallery twist to retro vibes.”

Many of the finalised designs have already arrived at Gallery with the rest on their way, ready for Gallery’s in-house photography team to work their magic, taking their renowned stunning lifestyle images, as well as cut-outs and close-up detail shots. The new collection will be launched at the January Furniture Show for those who want to see it in person and on their website in January.

The SS24 Collection will include some extensions to current ranges, as well as offering exciting new products in a wide variety of styles, from chunky & rustic to sleek & contemporary to sophisticated & elegant. The extensive choice available will ensure there is something to suit all interiors.

Borden is one of the current ranges that has been extended with the addition of a round dining table along with occasional pieces. Crafted from solid acacia wood with a warm natural finish which shows off the beautiful grain of the timber, Borden offers a sturdy yet elegant feel, with its solid wood and curved edges to soften the look.

Another range extension is Voss. To accompany the Slatted Console Table, a dining table and occasional pieces are being launched. Crafted from solid mango wood, with a natural finish to show the grain, Voss features a slatted design, to offer unusual stylish pieces.

The new ranges are crafted from a variety of materials including wood, in different beautiful finishes, coloured glass, marble, and metal. Pieces include dining tables, chairs & benches, cabinets & sideboards, occasional pieces, sofas & chairs, bedsteads and bedroom furniture.
