William Switzer & Associates, the Vancouver-based furniture house, has been nominated for a Luxist Award for best furniture.

In business for nearly 60 years, William Switzer Collection offers a selection of over 900 products in styles ranging from Louis XV, to Venetian Rococo, Art Deco and 20th century French Moderne designs. The company also offers the Lucien Rollin Collection, which features designs from the internationally acclaimed designer in the French Moderne style.

Quality reproductions are produced from the originals in the William Switzer collection, maintaining the integrity of the original design while adapting to today's contemporary lifestyle. Much of the woodwork, including hand carving elaborate details and marquetry, is done at the family's European workshops. Finishing, including staining, gilding, chinoiserie painting and upholstery, is completed by hand on an individual basis in the company's Vancouver workshop.

The William Switzer Collection and The Lucien Rollin Collection are represented in William Switzer's own showrooms in Dania (Florida), Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and Vancouver, and in trade showrooms in 13 other cities throughout the US and around the globe.
