NEW MONTREUX II CRESCENT SEATING OPTIONS

Irvine, CA – September 15, 2014 – Tropitone Furniture Company, Inc. opened the International Casual Furnishings Association (ICFA) Market by announcing new additions to the Montreux II Cushion Collection. The four new pieces include a crescent sofa, crescent love seat, and small and large crescent ottomans.

The Montreux II Cushion collection, utilizing updated styling and enhanced back cushions from the Montreux URComfort® product line, has been extremely popular. Building upon the success of the Ravello and Corsica Cushion crescent pieces, Montreux II Cushion crescent pieces offer similar solutions for outdoor spaces. “Crescent seating is intimate,” states Tom Keddy, Director of Product Management. “It invites conversation by orienting guests towards each other.”

The backs of the sofa and love seat, which feature a circular design, make this collection unique. “Montreux II Cushion Crescent is a floating collection,” declares Frank Verna, Director of Sales. “These furniture pieces offer flexibility in placement because they are beautiful from any angle. On the showroom floor, the first thing customers should see is the back, because it is stunning.”

Ottoman benches enhance the collection by providing flexibility and convenience to outdoor living. Keddy claims, “Ottoman benches are multipurpose – they are an ottoman, a bench, and comfortable seating everyone can enjoy.”

Homeowners create the perfect conversational setting by pairing two crescent sofas with two large crescent ottomans around a fire pit or two crescent love seats with two small crescent ottomans around Tropitone’s new small fire pit. The arcs and curves provided by the crescent shape blend perfectly with stand alone patio furniture pieces such as a swivel action lounger. The flexibility of crescent-shaped furniture creates a unique, exciting outdoor environment.

The Montreux II outdoor patio furniture collections, named after the home of the jazz festival in Southern France, transform good looks and sturdy construction into a work of art. URComfort® cushions and sturdy aluminum frames make Montreux II comfortable and durable. The collection’s original eleven pieces include a cushioned dining chair, lounge chairs, swivel rocker, chaise lounge, and sofa, which were launched last year. The original pieces of the Montreux II Cushion collection are joined by these four new pieces in an effort to continuously grow the collection and provide ultimate comfort for customers.
