Our style. Our statement. 

This fall at High Point Market, we are focused on what makes you feel most at home. We’re craving spaces that offer a break from the chaos and help us find some peace. This fall, it’s all about adding those nostalgic details, cozy moments, and a touch of luxury to make our homes feel extra special. 

We are in our 4th year partnering with Otis College and our collaboration is ever- evolving. JL continued the tradition of donating toward course materials and to the Jonathan Louis Making Fund, which is available for students to apply. Material cost is a huge burden on Otis design students and we are excited about being able to provide some support to future designers.

The Oakley is more than just a piece of furniture—it's a tribute to an era of design characterized by its boldness, innovation, and celebration of curves. With its thoughtful construction, comfort-driven features, and timeless aesthetic, The Oakley invites you to embrace nostalgia while making a statement in your home.

We had the pleasure of kicking off a new event–a trend talk–during High Point Market last fall, inviting our fabric vendors for a fun and enriching session of ideas and creative insights. And last month, we followed up with another successful trend talk at Jonathan Louis headquarters (and a field trip to LACMA!). Read on for a look inside our Trend Talks.

This market, we are all about celebrating human connection and familial bonds—however you define "family." Today, family has a broader, more inclusive meaning in our modern world. Regardless of the changes life throws our way, family remains crucial, providing that cherished sense of belonging and well-being. This season's design trends showcase the beautiful diversity of family structures and the unwavering love and support that unite us all. 

What’s the difference between an “arm chair” and an “accent chair”? What on earth is a “rail”? Don't worry if you’re scratching your head over some of our terms–we're here to help you figure it out! This “design dictionary” series is a helpful guide to Jonathan Louis’s descriptors and offerings.
