Parker Sofa & Ivy Chair by Norwalk Furniture

A lot of people complain that furniture in the Binghamton, NY, area is boring.  They complain that the only places to go are the big box type places and so everyone ends up buying the same old, imported stuff.  Well, that's not true.  Binghamton has a great furniture store inside the log cabin at Our Country Heart.

At Our Country Hearts, we carry a wide range of American-made furniture.  We have
over a thousand fabrics & leathers, which we can apply to hundreds of sofas, chairs, recliners, etc.  So, when it comes time to buy a new sofas & chairs for the showroom floor at is fun.  We go through our catalogs, consider customer comments, compare fabrics, & more while making the decision.

This January we selected a Parker sofa & an Ivy chair from Norwalk Furniture.

Norwalk Brand Ivy Chair & Parker Sofa at Our Country Hearts
The Ivy chair is shown above in a cream-colored, texturized solid fabric. The details for the Ivy chair are shown here:

The Ivy Chair is paired with the Parker sofa because of the shape of the arm and the similarity in the legs.  We made the Parker in a dark green velvet fabric with print pillows which tie-in to the cream on the Ivy chair.  Both pieces feature exposed wooden legs.

The Parker Sofa is unique because it's part of Norwalk Furniture's Variations program, which means that it can be built in a tremendous number of styles & configurations.  For instance, in the page below you can see five different B&W photos of uniquely-styled Parker pieces.


These five styles are built from the sheet below, which details how the variations are created.  Starting in the top right-hand corner of this sheet, you can select a Track Arm or a Slope Arm.  Moving to the right you select a T-Cushion or Straight Cushion.  Then down to the left, choose back style - and to the right, leg style.  Finally, at the bottom are sizes.


These sizes & shapes are more easily understood when looking at them from the top down in this diagram:


As you can see from this last diagram, there are a multitude of Parker pieces which can be as simple as a sofa, loveseat & chair - or as complex as a sectional with chaise lounge.

The Parker Sofa & Ivy Chair make a great combination.  Please consider visiting Our Country Hearts and seeing them in person.
