Thom Filicia To Unveil New Art Line

Filed under: Decor, Art, Celebrity Design

Designer and television personality Thom Filicia is on a creating role lately. Last month we mentioned that he has a collection of fabrics for Kravet for its to-the-trade home furnishings lines, now he's creating a new art collection.

Filicia is best known as being the designer on "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" and currently appears on "Tacky House" on the Style network. Filicia and Ed Marin of Soicher Marin began working together last year. According to Home Accents Today, Filicia traveled to Sarasota, Florida in early July to work with Marin to finish the line which will be unveiled at the High Point Market in October (check out behind the scenes shots of the pair at work on the Soicher Marin blog). No visuals yet but look for a little minimalist designs that incorporate both nature scenes and industrialist images along with a heavy dose of nostalgia. Soicher Marin also works with other designers including Suzanne Kasler, Jamie Drake and Mariette Himes Gomez.

Filicia is fast becoming a one man empire. He also sells the Thom Filicia Home Collection made by Vanguard which includes a mix of living, dining and bedroom pieces. His rug collection for Safavieh spans the range from more formal rugs to casual rugs including some woven with yarns made from recycled soda bottles.

Designer and television personality Thom Filicia has created a new collection of fabrics for Kravet for its to-the-trade home furnishings lines. Filicia is best known as being the designer on "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" and currently appears on "Tacky House" on the Style network. The collection is available in Kravet showrooms in North America. Maddie's Nest has images of the new line which shows colors and styles for a variety of tastes from subdued pinstripes and herringbone tweeds to graphic prints and colorful naturalistic styles.

"I chose to partner with Kravet for this collection because they really allowed me to convey my point of view and design aesthetic," said Filicia. "Kravet fabrics are known for their quality, but more importantly for being beautiful and accessible, and that was really important to me."

Other designers who have a fabric line with Kravet include Barclay Butera, Candice Olsen and Barbara Barry. Kravet also makes fabrics for Ralph Lauren Home and Calvin Klein Home as well as lines inspired by famous homes like Winterthur and the Biltmore Estate.

Whirlpool appliances is retooling their Amana brand, offering what they call "affordable luxury." The company feels there is a market for stylish appliances on the market. They've also drafted reality TV show interior designer Thom Filicia as the "brand ambassador" and he stars in videos on using appliances in home decor on the Amana webstie.

The company has created a line of top-mount refrigerators in colors like lipstick red, stainless steel kitchen suites and my favorite, the dry erase fridge which lets you write notes right on the door. It starts at $549. Future projects for the company includes a small egg-shaped washer just for your undies and a a top-mount refrigerator with a beverage can dispenser.
