Popular Color-Driven Merchandising Concept Expands for Summer Markets
IMAX Worldwide Home is expanding their best-selling Essentials by Connie Post™ line for summer markets to include the new Celebrations collection. This “modern design made easy” merchandising concept is a collaboration between IMAX Worldwide Home and leading retail strategist Connie Post.
Fast-paced lifestyles often having us zipping through holidays and other occasions so quickly we don’t really find time to savor the special moments. “The need to recognize what’s most important in our lives and to remind us to remember to celebrate life every day inspired me to create the Celebrations collection for IMAX,” states Post. A nod to the golden, halcyon days of memory, life’s precious moments are symbolized in gold and white, a touch of light, sheen and glamour that is right for every party and occasion, works beautifully in every color scheme and complements any decor.

IMAX Corporation is pleased to announce a licensing agreement with designer Nikki Chu. The collection, Nikki Chu Home for IMAX, will include high quality accent furniture and home accessories. The new products will debut at the Summer 2014 markets.
Nikki Chu’s philosophy is to create environments that are sleek and serene, with touches of glamour. Her interiors are accented by distinctive pieces, eclectic finds and an innate sense of timeless style. She mixes modern lines with a vintage flair that aligns perfectly with a dramatic fashion-fused vision.
Connie Post’s newest colorway debuting at the summer markets–Celebrations–is an apt description of the mood here at IMAX Worldwide Home as we head into the coming season.
We’re excited to announce a licensing agreement with designer Nikki Chu debuting at the Summer 2014 markets. Featuring high-quality accent furniture and home accessories, the new collection will reflect Nikki’s sense of timeless style and her talent for designing environments that are sleek and serene with touches of glamour.
Another upbeat note is the positive reception to our growing furniture line. The new Aviator Chair was a clear hit at the High Point Market, and the leather furniture options—including a full-size sofa and loveseat—present a variety of new merchandising options and opportunities that enable retailers who wouldn’t typically carry furniture to expand into new categories with minimal commitment or risk.
After the long winter, we’re quite pleased to see that Summer has finally(!) arrived and business is on the upswing. Consumers are shaking off their cabin fever and we made sure our customers were ready for them with trend-right product introductions at both the winter and spring markets. Among the hits were the new color way additions to Connie’s Essentials line, including Marine Blue, Apple Green, Coral and Mellow Yellow, and lamp designer Becky Fletcher’s new lamps with her signature, embellished shades.
Our new distribution center and warehouse facilities in the Los Angeles area, which opened in January, are now coming fully online as well. We’ve operated out of four buildings in Tulsa for decades, so the IMAX team is energized to finally have our entire distribution facility located under one roof. We want to thank everyone for weathering the transition with patience and good humor. We’re all looking forward to more efficient operations, and we know you are too.
Just as exciting was the June 2nd grand opening of our new 10,000-square-foot showroom that our SO/CAL customers will enjoy access to on a daily basis. Of course, all of our customers are invited to shop the showroom anytime you are in the area, and we think it’s definitely worth seeing. For the first time ever our visual team was presented with a blank slate and the result is a refreshing, and idea-packed shopping experience that underscores the creative strengths that set IMAX apart in the marketplace.
