Tropitone Furniture Company, Inc. opened the International Casual Furnishings Association Preview Market at the Chicago Merchandise Mart by announcing the introduction of new Wedge Tables for creating angled and crescent arrangements using any seating.

“A universal trend for both commercial and residential outdoor spaces is the increasing importance of interactive gathering spaces,” said Tom Keddy, Director of Product Management. “In many gathering spaces a fireplace, fire pit or fire table serve as the focal point. Since gathering spaces tend to be more communal, the ideal seating arrangements should be at an angle or in a crescent shape to perpetuate conversation and interaction. Our new Wedge Tables were designed to create these interactive seating arrangements using any seating. They are especially versatile when used in combination with our square and rectangular Ottoman Tables. ”

The four new Wedge Table bases are available in two of the Tropitone® brand’s most popular designs – Montreux and Lakeside.  These two transitional designs span a wide range of style preferences. The four new base models include Montreux Wedge Tea Table, Montreux Wedge End Table, Lakeside Wedge Tea Table and Lakeside Wedge End Table. The tea tables are 18” high and the end tables are 22” high. The aluminum bases can be finished in any of the Tropitone® brand’s 20 powder coat colors.

Each of the four new Wedge Table bases will be introduced with eleven Table Top color options – two Faux Marble, six Faux Granite and three Solid Colors. The Wedge Tea Table Top models are 23” X 15” and the Wedge End Table Top models are 30” X 25”.

Tropitone® was originally established as a commercial brand in 1954 when car travel was starting to boom in the USA. As travelers became familiar with Tropitone® brand products at hotels and motels, they began asking where they could buy such comfortable, stylish and high quality products for their homes.  Tropitone decided to fill that demand by offering products for sale at retail. Tropitone changed the performance standards for an entire industry by applying the rigorous product and service requirements of the highly-demanding commercial market to the residential market. The Company now has broad and deep portfolios of products specifically designed for each of the commercial and residential market segments, all with the same total performance standards.
