Irvine, CA – July 15, 2014 – Tropitone Furniture Company, Inc. opened the International Casual Furnishings Association (ICFA) Preview Show at the Chicago Merchandise Mart by announcing the introduction of New Cushion models for the Corsica group that include Crescent Seating.
The designs for the new Corsica Cushion models are the work of the Tropitone Design Team under the leadership of Peter Homestead. The new Cushion models continue to build on the success of the Corsica Sling & Padded Sling models introduced in 2011.
“The sling and padded sling models for Corsica are a major success for Tropitone,” said Tom Keddy, Director of Product Management. “The flowing, transitional frame design enhances virtually any outdoor living environment given Tropitone’s wide selection of powder coat frame finishes and fabrics. The new Cushion models fit perfectly into any interactive gathering space. The one-piece crescent love seat and sofa models are ideal for gathering spaces that have a fire pit as the centerpiece.”
The eight new Corsica Cushion models include crescent love seat, crescent sofa, love seat, sofa, lounge chair, action lounger, swivel action lounger and ottoman. All Corsica Cushion aluminum frames can be finished in any one of Tropitone’s 20 powder coat colors. The cushions are available in any of Tropitone’s wide range of cushion fabrics.
The new Corsica Cushion models utilize the same Tropitone® brand exclusive RELAXplus® cushion system that was used on the ultra-successful Ravello Crescent Sectional seating introduced in 2012. The high-back design delivers sink-in comfort while providing head support.
“RELAXplus® cushions have established the performance standard for the industry,” commented Peter Homestead, Vice President of Design. “The multi-layer construction is designed specifically for the outdoors and provides the highest level of comfort, style and durability. Since the Tropitone® brand is all about enjoying the outdoors, we start with comfort and then make sure our cushions are beautifully styled and stand up to the potentially harsh outdoor environment.”
Tropitone Furniture Company is celebrating its 60th Anniversary. Tropitone® was originally established as a commercial brand in 1954 when car travel was starting to boom in the USA. As travelers became familiar with Tropitone® brand products at hotels and motels, they began asking where they could buy such comfortable, stylish and high quality products for their homes. Tropitone decided to fill that demand by offering products for sale at retail. Tropitone changed the performance standards for an entire industry by applying the rigorous product and service requirements of the highly-demanding commercial market to the residential market. The Company now has broad and deep portfolios of products specifically designed for each of the commercial and residential market segments, all with the same total performance standards.
Tropitone is headquartered in Irvine, CA and is recognized throughout the casual furniture marketplace for its product design leadership and commitment to total performance products & services. The International Casual Furnishings Association (ICFA) has named Tropitone Tubular Materials Manufacturer of the Year for four consecutive years. The ICFA also named the Company Manufacturer of the Year. URComfort® is the first outdoor seating to be endorsed by the American Chiropractic Association (ACA). Commercial products are sold to multiple customer segments including hospitality & resorts, apartments & condominiums, multi-housing / HOA’s, clubs, restaurants and cruise ships. Residential products are marketed through high-service specialty stores, furniture stores & designers. Products are marketed under the Tropitone®, Basta Sole®, Tropitone® MODA™ and Tropitone® Valora™ trademarks. The Company operates primary manufacturing facilities in Irvine, CA and Sarasota, FL.
