A new collection is always an excuse to celebrate. And this one even more so, as it's inspired and named by the city where Circle Furniture began. The Cambridge Collection is exclusive to Circle Furniture and is a modern collection of timeless styles at a great price point. As someone with a newfound love for mid-century modern furniture and an affinity for jewel tones, this collection speaks to my design aesthetic. Peggy Burns describes,  "I'm very excited about the collection first and foremost because it's the most extensive exclusive collection that Circle Furniture has embarked on, available only in our stores." Heather Chiapperini, the manager at our Cambridge showroom, is also excited about this collection, "The designs are on trend but offer a timeless appeal and customers are already loving the look when they walk in our store." We're excited to introduce you to every piece in the Cambridge Collection, but first, let's learn about the inspiration behind the collection.

The inspiration

Putnam Sectional in Seagull and JB Swivel Chair in Bayou

The inspiration to create this line started with our customers in mind. Peggy explains, "The pieces have a modern design with slender silhouettes." This makes the collection perfect for any home, whether you live in a spacious home or a small apartment in the city." The collection is similar to the furniture we offer in that it is designed to be highly customizable. These pieces will fit into your home decor whether you're a lover of modern, clean lines, a traditional look, or somewhere in between.   The designs are featured in rich colors that prove that neutrals aren't always the way to go. Brian Bechard, our Visual Merchandiser, says, "I love the saturated colors that the collection offers. We have refreshing emerald green, rich navy tones, turquoise, coral, and blush. In addition to the gorgeous colors in the leathers and fabrics, the sofa and chair frames have interesting clean lines and the frames sit well. The scale allows them to have a comfortable depth without over taking a room." Brian sums up the Cambridge collection, saying, "Comfort meets style and sophistication with this collection."

The sofa is a firm favorite of both Heather and Brian. In fact, Brian loves it so much he ordered it for himself! He explains, "I love the comfort, narrow track arm, and wood plinth base.
