Celebrated Interior Designer and Television Makeover Personality Libby Langdon Brings Her
“Easy, Elegant, Everyday Style” to Her First Collection of Lamps, Accessories and Accent Furniture

High Point, NC, March 25, 2015 – Interior designer, author and makeover television personality, Libby Langdon, is partnering with Bradburn Gallery to introduce her first collection of lamps, accessories, and accent furniture set to launch at the High Point Market in October, 2015. Known for her “easy, elegant, everyday style” and growing collections of branded home furnishings, Langdon focuses on offering beautifully made products that are sleek, chic and affordable.

The Libby Langdon for Bradburn Gallery Collection will feature a coordinated collection of lighting, wall décor, accent furniture and unique tabletop accessories. “Stylistically speaking, my collection reflects the needs and wants of my clients,” Langdon says. “The primary elements are elegant clean-lines and fashion forward looks. Time after time, I find that my clients don’t want anything too modern, yet they do like fresh color combinations and updated silhouettes that are not too fussy or formal.”
“Libby’s enthusiasm and energy for design is inspiring,” said Bruce Bradburn, CEO of The Bradburn Gallery, which will debut two collections during the Fall Market in the company’s flagship showroom in the Steele Building. Bradburn added, “Our consumers will find terrific looks at affordable prices while experiencing world class design developed by artisans around the world dedicated to bringing Libby’s vision to life.”

“I’m so excited to be partnering with Bradburn Gallery to introduce a whole new look to the gorgeous items they have been offering to designers and retailers for years,” Langdon remarked. “Bradburn is such a wonderful company and trustworthy brand well-known for their incredible quality and impeccable manufacturing standards. I’m looking forward to adding an exciting new design direction with my “Libby twist” at a great price point.”

Bradburn Gallery is the creation of Fran & Bruce Bradburn, who combined efforts to develop a unique line of lighting and decorative décor. Focusing on finely crafted elements designed by Fran Bradburn and brought to life by artisans in both the USA and around the globe, Bradburn Gallery serves a diverse customer base.  Fran Bradburn extolled Langdon’s fresh vision for the company, “Libby’s attention to detail is impressive. Her ability to translate common sense, yet elegant solutions to everyday décor challenges is inspiring. The five collections she has developed so far are spot-on for today’s consumer.”

“When I first met Fran and Bruce Bradburn and Martin Lucki,” said Langdon,” I not only respected the beautiful quality of their existing product line, I also just really adored them as people and saw a team that I could build something amazing with for the long-term.  I was so excited at their response to my initial style ideas. And even though my designs incorporate different materials than they usually use, they wasted no time in working with their outstanding manufacturers to push the limits to achieve the looks and styles that I believe will be a fantastic addition to the Bradburn collection”.

Fran Bradburn added, “We’re delighted to be partners and have been thrilled with the design process so far, Libby has an intuitive sense of color, texture and scale along with the vision to meld them all together into an intriguing interior story.  I am inspired by the mix of materials she envisions and the coordinated relationship of pieces within each collection.  Plus, she is just downright FUN to work with and creative in so many inspiring ways!”

Monthly columnist to House Beautiful magazine and contributor to NBC’s TODAY Show, Langdon is a makeover television veteran from hit shows including HGTV’s Small Space Big Style, The Rachael Ray Show, and The View as well as her own series, Daykeover with Libby Langdon. “Working in makeover TV has allowed me a unique and wonderful opportunity to travel across the country going into real people’s homes to see how we all really live and what we really want,” said Langdon. “It’s fascinating to see the common threads between my makeover TV clients and my private clients no matter the difference in budget. I also adore the one-on-one time that I spend working with real consumers across the country.  It gives me the inside scoop on the styles and looks that real people like. All of that invaluable information gets injected into the products I design and I look forward to bringing that insight and design inspiration to my collection for Bradburn Gallery.”

Bradburn Gallery, in addition to the new Libby Langdon Collection, also features licensed collections with iconic West Coast designer Barclay Butera and Mid-West designer Melea Markell. Libby Langdon for Bradburn Gallery will be the latest in her growing lines of branded home collections, to include her Upholstery Furniture Collection for Braxton Culler, Chandelier and Lighting Collection for Crystorama, Rug Line for Tiger Rug, and Wallpaper Collection for Casart Coverings.
