Selamat Designs names winner of chair design challenge

Home Accents Today,
Selamat Designs President Thatcher Davis announced the Urban Tribal Chair, designed

by Clay Rammage of Delano, Minn., won Selamat’s inaugural “Create a Classic” Design Challenge.
Hundreds of talented designers – from students to design professionals – responded to the challenge and sent in their best ideas to create the “next great chair,” with the winning entry becoming part of Selamat Designs’ spring 2017 collection.
In the last leg of this challenge, the top three designs were on display during the Las Vegas Market where buyers in attendance had the opportunity to vote for the chair they would most like to see added to the Cincinnati-based company’s collection.
“The voting was extremely tight throughout the week, but in the end Clay’s chair claimed victory and we couldn’t be more pleased,” Davis said. “Many of the buyers in attendance were already asking when they could place orders and we anticipate a great demand.”
The Urban Tribal chair will be available to order during the March 2017 High Point Market at Selamat’s showroom, located in InterHall, H107 in the IHFC Building.
With the success of this first year of the Design Challenge, Selamat Designs will launch the second “Create a Classic” Design Challenge during the High Point Market with a new set of challenges for the designers. Entry information will be available during the show and also on the company’s Web site.
