Arts & Crafts, Mission shine
Article Abstract:
Arts & Crafts and Mission styles in oak again highlighted case goods launchings at the summer market in San Francisco, CA. Mission styles led new products that are offered by Kushwood, Thunderbird, A.America, Vargas, Aspen, Hippopotamus and Amyx, among others. The Mission Rich collection of A.America is priced 15% to 20% higher compared with the rest of the line. The California oiled oak has been replaced by Mission as the case goods staple of the market in San Francisco. Meanwhile, the increasing popularity of pine product is part of the style and species diversification that is being adopted by furniture makers west of the Rockies.

Union backs off from vote at Drexel Heritage
Article Abstract:
Drexel Heritage management's secured a win versus efforts by the International Chemical Workers Union to unionize Drexel's workforce. The Drexel Heritage workers who number around 620 people in four furniture manufacturing facilities published a full-page notice in a local newspaper to declare a stand against a vote to create a union. The Drexel Heritage president Dan Grow noted that the proposal to set up a union would merely have taken attention away from ongoing labor law violation lawsuits filed by the International Chemical Workers Union.
