HIGH POINT — Belgian outdoor furniture manufacturer Vincent Sheppard is exhibiting at this week’s High Point Market with a 2025 collection that foregrounds color and customizability.
The company’s showroom in Interhall on the first floor of the International Home Furnishings Center features a small assortment of new introductions and best-sellers tailored to the design buyer.
“Our top seller is the Kodo collection,” said Scott Burns, U.S. managing director. “It’s our largest collection and has a daybed, sun lounger, multiple sizes for sofas and a huge modular piece. We have two different lounge chairs with different back heights. And it also comes with a rocking chair, which is one of our most popular styles across our range.”
Burns said the options of tabletop materials, colors and finishes his company offers are a strong draw for design buyers with specific project needs.
“The customizability means that designers can mix and match between collections,” he said. “We have 26 different Sunbrella fabric options and two finishes: Fossil Gray and Dune White. We try to always offer lots of color and finish options.”
A particularly unique introduction from the Kodo collection is the rocking chair, which combines a powder-coated aluminum frame with a wound rope back and teak rockers that Burns said are meant to patina.
“It’s something you don’t see a lot,” he said. “A lot of people don’t want teak because there’s so much maintenance involved with it. But here it gives the piece a little personality, a little hint of imperfection because it breaks up the aluminum. It’s really supposed to weather.”
Burns also highlighted the wound rope and powder-coated aluminum Loop collection as a standout for buyers, with colors that match other products in their line for design cohesion.
“This is a smaller collection and a smaller product. It’s a lounge chair, a dining chair, and you can also special order a loveseat,” he said. “They all come in six very vibrant colors, and the roping has a nice pitch to it. The Lilo tables come in the same colors as the Loop. They’re at a really good price point and make a beautiful combination.”
Vincent Shepphard’s High Point showroom is located in the International Home Furnishings Center, space IH-509.
