Oriental Weavers of America would like to announce they have signed with Raymond Waites, one of the nation’s top home furnishings designers. OWA will kick off their program with Waites during an extravaganza to be held in High Point at the International Home Furnishings Market, October 18th through October 27th. This one-of-a-kind collection will feature a bank of exciting, vibrant colors and patterns that reflect a sense of style and a love of creativity. The designs, which are sexy and rich, meet a price point that is affordable for even the most selective consumer. "We are very excited about our partnership with Raymond Waites," said Steve Stultz, vice president of sales and marketing. "We value his incredible sense of style and knowledge of design . Waites, who is synonymous with the very best in American design, established Raymond Waites Design, Inc. in 1994 to create beautiful and innovative products for the home. Focusing on consumers who love abundance and class, Waites is stimulated by the ever-changing world of design. He is known not only for his creativity, but also for his knack for details. He has been at the forefront of interior fashion since the mid-1970s when he developed and popularized the "country" look. He has continued to draw inspiration from the American and global heritage. He mixes the sophisticated with the humble to create timeless, refreshing looks with the casual elegance that is his signature. The partnership between OWA and Waites is a giant step forward in the world of home fashions. Waites will open a retail store in New York City’s Greenwich Village this summer. The 2,000 square foot Raymond Waites Interiors will sell products from his various manufacturing partners as well as individually sourced one-of-a-kind pieces.
