This sofa chair made by Donghia, Inc, shows us a brand new modern design concept of upholstery and seating. The spare and essential lines created by dustsheets draped over furniture inspired the Enchanted Collection. The tall legs and exaggerated back contours on the pieces create a breezy feeling, as if they would catch the wind like a ghost. The pieces are stately, expressing noble eccentricity.
Donghia, Inc. produces furniture, lighting, textiles and accessories that transcend modern and traditional design. Each piece is hand-crafted of the finest materials with an unmistakable signature style. Products are showcased in Donghia’s 12 showrooms across the United States and in over fifty representative showrooms around the world. With a forty year history at the forefront of the luxury home furnishings industry, Donghia represents American design at its best.
It is a privately owned furniture and textile company, founded by Angelo Donghia who, in his brief lifetime, established the high standards which have become the company’s hallmark. Donghia’s uniquely focused look is achieved through classically inspired yet distinctly modern product.
Donghia furniture ranges from upholstered sofas, chairs and beds to tables, casepieces, and wicker. Made in the USA, Donghia furniture combines both glamour and simplicity through the use of the finest materials and detailing. The construction of Donghia furniture pieces relies on age-old techniques perfected over centuries.
Donghia’s exceptional collection of accessories includes lamps, mirrors and vessels hand-made by Venetian craftsmen on the island of Murano, Italy. The centuries old craft of Venetian glass blowing produces singular works of art, with a consistent focus on original design and sophisticated artistry.
Upholstery furniture features hand-tied springs, hand sculpted interiors for the ultimate in comfort, and solid hardwood frames constructed with wood joints and dowels—each piece being of the highest quality available in the marketplace. Likewise, only expert craftsmanship and the choicest of materials are used in the creation of Donghia’s casegoods.
The history of Donghia reflects Angelo Donghia’s dynamic approach to design. Though Mr. Donghia was first and always an interior designer, he entered the home furnishings market because he found a lack of innovative, quality products to use in his interiors. He turned his attention to fabric and wallcoverings in order to carry through his innovative interpretation of classical ideas. In 1978, Donghia Furniture was established to produce fine upholstery and case pieces.
Through the leadership of Creative Director Chuck Chewning, as well as collaborations and partnerships with high profile designers, the company’s design profile continues to evolve. Pieces within the collection complement and enhance each other and can seamlessly fit into any décor — traditional, contemporary, or an eclectic mix. A unique and personal design statement becomes a reality for clients using Donghia designs.
