Sauder Press Release

Times are changing and Sauder continues its commitment to creating on-trend, functional, and inventive furniture pieces for consumers that are spending more time at home than ever

ARCHBOLD, Ohio — October 9, 2020 — Although Sauder is not exhibiting at High Point Market this fall, the nation’s leader in ready-to-assemble furniture is continuing to build its new item portfolio by introducing a host of furniture designs in varying styles – from rustic farmhouse to chic industrial to eclectic modern – in order meet consumer demand.

“Regrettably, we felt the best decision in the current environment, was to not open Sauder’s showroom for this market,” says Kevin Sauder, president/CEO at Sauder. “After consulting with our sales team, assessing the anticipated attendance from our customers, and considering safety implications, that was the appropriate action.”

Unprecedented and unpredictable times in the furniture industry has prompted many brands to make bold and necessary adjustments to its business operations. Through it all, Sauder has sharpened its focus on developing and delivering furniture solutions that consumers crave.

“Our commitment to introducing ‘furniture of the future’ – both domestically produced and sourced options – has been unwavering over the past six months,” says Mike Lambright, senior director of marketing at Sauder. “Our product design and merchant teams have continued to push forward with new collections and line extensions to provide a greater selection of aesthetics, finishes, and price points to align with personal style preferences of consumers.”

New SOHO collections Sauder is introducing:
• Aspen Post™ — Combining the scenic beauty visible at a mountainside resort with the serenity of a rural homestead, this collection brings a feel of artistry and tranquility to the at-home workspace.
• Englewood™ — Inspired by midcentury modern and blended with clean contract styling, this contemporary collection can adapt to customers’ needs – large or small.
• Steel River® — This collection goes beyond mere patina to put some surly realism into the fresh line extensions of this rustic industrial masterpiece.

Aspen Post™ collection
The welcoming, natural character that drives farmhouse design makes a comfortable, yet highly functional, home office environment. Designed with existing furniture in mind, Aspen Post™ allows the seamless addition of any combination of its pieces – desks, lateral files, hutches, and cabinets –without compromising on cohesiveness and aesthetics.

The light and natural Prime Oak™ finish serves as the extraordinary element of this farmhouse aesthetic. Combined with the black, rustic drawer and door handles to elevate its artistry in any setting.
This nine-piece collection is available now and includes an L-shaped desk, executive desk, file cabinet, office utility stand, office credenzas and more. Prices begin at $139.99.
