Specialists of Design: The PDC Corey Pernicano Presents Product (Part 1 of 2)

We recently introduced you to Cory Pernicano, the Design Professional of the Pacific Design Center. Now that we have gotten to know him, he's sharing his thoughts with us about an eco-friendly collection he loves.


By Cory Pernicano


This month I’d like to talk about a particular collection represented at the David Sutherland showroom here at the Pacific Design Center. I have to admit that Hudson Furniture Inc.'s newest collection is probably one of the most beautiful collections I’ve come across in the last few months!


Hudson Furniture Inc. happens to be New York's only repository for legally harvested petrified wood. For Hudson Furniture Inc. it was second nature to explore petrified wood as an extension of its already existing collection of organic contemporary designs. Petrified wood, having the visual characteristics of wood but the feel of stone, represents a contemporary fusion of the two original materials into a new compelling organic interior accessory.




Hudson Furniture also respects the natural forms of trees , with well defined organic lines using traditional techniques and hand-rubbed finishes.


None of the wood that they use is harvested from old growth forests. The wood slabs are domestically sourced from either salvaged trees or wind and storm-damaged trees. I can't get enough of it!


Stay tuned to GoDesignGo for more from Cory when he shares his favorite Hudson Furniture product and where he would opt to place it in a space.
