DDB Spring Market Buzz: Chatting with Philip Gorrivan at Duralee

We had the chance to chat with designer Philip Gorrivan at the Duralee showroom and ask about Philip Gorrivan II, his newest collection for Highland Court.

"I really had the best time creating this collection," said Philip. "It differs from my first collection with Highland Court, which was about luxury. Philip Gorrivan II is all about luxuriously simple!"

We asked Philip what the direction was for this collection and if he had any particular favorite fabrics.

"The direction was pretty clear. I wanted versatility in the fabrics with the intention of making a collection that could be used in any kind of atmosphere, in any kind of region, and at any type of year. I have several international clients who I kept in mind, but I didn't forget about my fashionable city clients either."

"I really can't choose just one fabric to call my favorite, but my kids can! They picked their favorites based on which fabrics were named after them!"

Visit the Highland Court and Duralee websites, or one of their showrooms to check out Philip Gorrivan II and find your favorite.

Product Spotlight: Philip Gorrivan II at Highland Court

From homes to fabrics, Philip Gorrivan is arguably best known for allowing beauty and livability to co-exist.





As a follow up and complement to his wildly-successful first collection, Philip has created Philip Gorrivan II, a five-color-book set of sophisticated, tailored designs at Highland Court.





"Philip Gorrivan II is really a departure from Philip Gorrivan I," said a Duralee representative. "It captures the essence of the organic, aged beauty found in natural landscapes, lush geometrical European gardens, classical architecture, antiquities and curiosities. It's luxuriously simple and how often can you say that about something? The collection optimizes versatility with fabrics that are as appropriate for a rustic lodge in the country as they are in a New York City townhouse!"





The colors include Bone, Saddle, Patina/Olive, Blush and Kohl. The books range from classic neutrals and romantic rouges to caramel cappuccinos and peacock feathers.
