| The "Whitlow" sofa |
Good morning everyone! To kick off this Tuesday, we wanted to share the inside
scoop on Cindy Smith’s “Whitlow” sofa from the recently revealed Catbird
Collection. Enjoy!
“My
father, Whitlow, was the epitome of a southern gentlemen. Soft spoken,
charming, and witty, it was he who first introduced me to the term “Catbird” whether
to label the best seat in the house at a baseball game or to describe a dapper
gentleman in a seersucker suit. Growing up in a small southern town,
everyone knew and loved Mr. Whit and his trademark chewed off cigar that
covered him with a perfume I can still smell today. He not only gave me a
sense of security of the most loving kind but also instilled an enduring
respect and discipline for a steadfast work ethic. Today, it brings me so
much joy that my grandson is named after him and can his continue his legacy."
"When
it came to designing the “Whitlow” sofa for this upholstery collection, I
wanted it to represent more than a dedication to his name and become an
embodiment of the love and memories I have of my father. The sofa reminds
me of the comfort of his enveloping arms and the affirmation that love and family
are the most important things in life.” -Cindy Smith
