IMAX Corporation is proud to announce a licensing agreement with set decorator and designer Beth Kushnick. The BAK Home collection features
timeless and versatile home accessories, lighting, and accent furniture. The new products will debut at the January 2015 markets.
With BAK Home, Kushnick offers IMAX customers a luxe look at an accessible price. The line consists of richly detailed pieces, all designed to work in a variety of home environments—from traditional to modern, and everywhere in between.
As a set decorator, Kushnick is known for a consistent eye and expert curation; her credits also include celebrity interiors and perhaps most notably, her ongoing role as
set decorator for the hit CBS drama The Good Wife, now in its sixth season. As Kushnick notes, “The BAK Home collection is aspirational yet completely attainable, and inspired very much by my role as a set decorator. I’m always on the lookout for classic pieces that work in a variety of spaces. At the same time, I’ve been fortunate enough to amass a great fan following through my work, and I have listened very carefully to what they are looking for. BAK Home is a culmination of all of this; the collection provides shoppers with pieces that complement an array of personalities and styles.”
Rex Yoakley, Vice President of Sales for IMAX, is certain about the success of the newly formed partnership. “We are extremely excited about our latest collaboration – Beth Kushnick has redefined the role of the set decorator throughout her career. We’re so pleased to bring her talents and experience to the IMAX family.”
