For those of you who are regular readers of this page you may remember me mentioning a few times over the last year that we’ve been working to expand our Provence line. It takes a while to expand a line, you have to design new pieces, and develop new colours. There is a lot of trial and error, so it takes time.
We’ve learned that during a pandemic this process seems to take forever. These days, factories are busy keeping up with demand for existing products, so developing new products is not a priority. Plus, shipping times have increased on everything.
But the good news is that a long awaited and long overdue Provence order has finally arrived! This shipment has a new item exclusive to The Barn, the three-foot hall table. You can see photos below in three new colours. We are hoping to have more colours and sizes next year. Yes, that’s right, we’re already ordering for next year.
There was also night stands in four different colour combinations in this shipment. This was done so we could see what all the new colours looked like on some furniture, rather than just wood blocks. We are excited about all the new colours, they turned out better than we expected, which rarely happens. Now we have to decide which colours to carry in the future. If you see a colour, you really like, let us know? We do these sample orders from time to time to gauge reaction to new products, which is a lot harder to do during lockdown when customers aren’t allowed in the building.
Also, just for good measure, the Provence hall seats were in this shipment, a photo is below. You can see photos of the full existing Provence line on our Reproductions page.
