FORGET THE WINE: BRING SONOMA HOME TO PHILLY WITH COOL NEW CITY-CENTRIC FURNISHING­S FROM ETHAN ALLEN.

- BY SHELLY COURTNEY

Ethan Allen’s new city-centric furniture collection­s feel right at home for Philly zip codes.

You won’t find Philadelph­ia among the five new city-inspired looks in Ethan Allen’s latest collection, but we won’t hold it against the 85-year-old American furniture label. What you will find are of-the-moment pieces to fill your home with, no matter the design scheme. The quintet of looks-—brooklyn, Buckhead, Capitol Hill, Santa Monica and Sonoma -—perfectly captures today’s interior design trends with a focus on regional tastes. Need proof? Capitol Hill features traditiona­l-meets-modern furnishing­s with an emphasis on leather chairs and detailed wood, while Brooklyn’s eclectic vibe fuses industrial and farmhouse styles. Buckhead’s European flair and Southern charm is a striking counter to Sonoma’s temperate, relaxed aesthetic.

This summer, shore houses in need of a makeover will benefit from the Santa Monica collection. The collection, which includes a custom-made dining table, apothecary jars, rustic black console tables, and a high-back dining bench, combines a breezy beach feel with vintage farmhouse inspiratio­n, perfect for seaside condos in Atlantic City or sprawling mansions overlookin­g the ocean in Avalon. “Many of the pieces you see here have formal structure, but they also incorporat­e distressed finishes, natural materials, and a versatile palette,” says Kate Savino, Philadelph­ia district design manager. “It creates the perfect marriage of country and casual and makes any space really approachab­le.” King of Prussia Mall, 610491-8850; ethanallen.com
