Hickory – Hickory Furniture Mart is thrilled to announce that North Carolina furniture and artist icon Bob Timberlake has made his way back to the Mart with a soft opening of his new Bob Timberlake American Home gallery last week and an official grand opening to take place with Bob himself there in person to welcome shoppers on Friday, April 26 from 1pm-5pm.  This grand opening celebration will kick off Hickory Furniture Mart’s annual Spring After Market Sale (April 26-29).  Bob will be talking to customers about his new American Made solid leather and wood furniture collection.  He will also be signing his past and new artwork and taking pictures with visitors stopping by to see him.  Shoppers visiting the Mart in person during the entire sale weekend will have the opportunity to register to win a $500 gift certificate to use towards a future purchase at his new gallery, located on Level 1 at the South entrance (off Catawba Valley Blvd.) inside the Mart.

Bob has partnered with local furniture manufacturer Carolina Custom Leather to produce his American Made leather upholstery products and with Ohio-based manufacturer Archbold Furniture to produce his American Made solid wood case goods products.  He also used his downtime during COVID to create some inspirational new pieces of artwork for his collectors and art enthusiasts alike. 

Timberlake’s new furniture and art collection will debut to an international audience during this week’s High Point Furniture Market.  “I’m 87 years young this year” said Bob “but I still have a lot of artistry and design left inside of me to share with the world. I am so proud to get back to designing American Made furniture with all my upholstery pieces being made right here locally in the Conover/Hickory region of North Carolina.” Stop by Hickory Furniture Mart next weekend and be one of the first to take a look at Bob’s new 2024 furniture and art collection on display and available for sale.
