Blue Sueded Bed—
A dramatic silhouette secrets a dynamic practicality: the Blue Sueded Bed features a high headboard and elegant skirt which hides under-bed storage. Drawers mounted on wheels allow for easy access. The material and scale of the bed, however, are the main aesthetic attraction. Like the famous shoes of song, the Blue Sueded Bed makes quite a fashion statement. At W 40 x D 84 x H 60, this bed is a great fit for smaller second bedrooms, especially in cities where square footage is at a premium—but the modest footprint comes with a big design bang.

Cairo Collection Credenza—
Made of zebra wood with bone accents and nickel hardware, the Cairo Collection Credenza recalls exotic travels with its luxurious materials. The light and dark stripes of the wood lend the credenza its “undeniable character,” while the modern shape and simple lines give it functionality in spades. At 70” wide, 29” high, and 22” deep, the Cairo Collection Credenza works well to hold anything from holiday liquor to fine china.

Collectión de Colombe High Back Chair—
A high-back chair that ensconces the seater in a private niche, the Collectión de Colombe Chair “commands complete attention.” The chair’s luxurious materials—bark cloth, bone leather, and dark wood frame—work to create a rich exploration of texture. But it’s the chair’s dramatic curves and scale that make it a true statement piece. Collectión de Colombe High Back Chair is at home in dens and offices, as well as libraries and dressing rooms. It’s also a great chair for waiting areas and lobbies in executive offices and hospitality venues.

KipsBay Collection Sofa—
The sinuous curves of the KipsBay Collection Sofa recall the feminine touch of the Art Deco era. The kidney-shaped base on a wooden platform give a touch of masculinity to the elegant settee. A gently sloped fixed back, curvy arms, and one seat cushion means the sofa offers uninterrupted surfaces—as sleek and shapely as the nude figure. Perfect for boudoirs and boutique hotels, KipsBay Collection Sofa has undeniable charm.
A graduate of Columbia University’s architecture program and a former apprentice with Philip Johnson, Richard Mishaan opened Homer in 1993. The furniture collection has an eye toward architecture with its clean lines and attention to scale and shape. Quality materials and classic style give Homer its signature look. The company’s New York showroom is open by appointment.
