Because of this, our company has enjoyed an irrefutable reputation for superior design, underscored today by the fact that Drexel Heritage is sold only in the finest furniture stores and design studios in the country.Īs early as the 1930s, Drexel Heritage employed dedicated staff designers as one of the first furniture companies to commit fulltime resources to style and design.
From that very first suite produced, Drexel Heritage has always taken a stylish eye toward helping our customers complete their homes with classic furniture that has a timeless beauty. The Pinehurst Collection, with its honey-tone antique look that captures the casualĬomfort of the storied North Carolina golf retreat, has been a huge success since its introduction at the International Home Furnishings Market in April 1998.ĭrexel Heritage Furnishings, a division of Lifestyle Furnishings International, makes fine furniture sold under the Drexel Heritage and Lillian August brands.Our rich history of crafting quality furniture to our customers’ exacting standards began in 1903 when our first product was a bed, bureau and washstand suite made from native oak and sold for $14.50, wholesale. The line represents Drexel’s second co-branding venture that marries Drexel quality to a name synonymous with golf history and tradition. “It’s a lifestyle people either enjoy or aspire to,” said O’Brien. The Jack Nicklaus line reflects the growing popularity of golf-course communities and the appeal of the casually elegant country club lifestyle.
“There’s something there for every region of the country,” said Vicki Solada, vice president of wood and upholstery merchandising for Drexel.
Together, the design of the pieces as well as the finish treatment make a broad style statement, allowing the collection to work well with the variety of design motifs used at Nicklaus clubhouses worldwide. Jack Nicklaus hardware – bronze/brass fixtures in the shape of the golf legend’s trademark “Golden Bear” – completes the look. The collection of 37 pieces – 25 wood and 12 upholstery and 50 fabrics – includes a variety of occasional pieces such as end tables, coffee tables, decorated chests, armoires, entertainment centers, sideboards and barstools in eight custom finishes. “We are capitalizing on the appeal of two prestige brands, Nicklaus and Drexel Heritage, and developing a collection of furniture that draws its design inspiration from the casual elegance of the country club environment,” added Andy O’Brien, vice president of marketing for the Nicklaus Companies. We look forward to introducing this new collection.” I think we have put together a line of furniture which features pieces that work equally well in a clubhouse setting or a private home. “Over the last year, I have enjoyed working closely with Drexel Heritage to design and develop this special collection. “I am both flattered and excited to be a part of the Drexel Heritage team,” said Barbara Nicklaus. The collection is the result of a collaborative effort between Drexel designers and Barbara Nicklaus, wife of the golf legend, who has been directly involved with the development of the line since the Nicklaus Companies and Drexel began discussing the idea. That same passion for excellence has distinguished Drexel Heritage in the fine art of furniture making for nearly 100 years.”
“We’re proud to be associated with Jack Nicklaus, who is known the world over for his passion for excellence in everything he does. “This is an ideal partnership,” said Dan Grow, chief executive officer of Drexel Heritage Furnishings. The collection will also be available to consumers on a limited basis through Drexel’s network of independent dealers. The line will be used in clubhouses at Jack Nicklaus-designed courses, which number more than 120 in the United States and more than 200 worldwide. Drexel Heritage Furnishings introduced a new casual line of Jack Nicklaus-licensed clubhouse furnishings at the Spring International Home Furnishings Market in High Point.
