Ellen DeGeneres Infuses Her Personal Style,
Vision into Popular Thomasville Furniture Line

Orland Park, IL, Oct. 19, 2017 – Whether it’s the pleasant and approachable style you see every day on her award-winning talk show, her voice as the main character in the Finding Dory movies, or her matter-of-fact sense of humor, Ellen DeGeneres has a following few celebrities can match. With 46 million Instagram followers, 27 million on Facebook and 70 million on Twitter, her fame has made her the sixth most followed person on the planet.

Extending that connection even further is her new line of furniture: ED Ellen DeGeneres Crafted by Thomasville. Anentire brand inspired by DeGeneres’ unique style, values and positive personality, ED encourages consumers to embrace and express their own sense of style and individuality through all parts of their life.

“ED is an extension of my lifestyle and is inspired by who I am as a person,” says DeGeneres. “ED is things that I see as a necessity and things that are playful, too. It’s design I want to share with everyone.”

DeGeneres is celebrating the 15th season of her show, which has already amassed countless Daytime Emmy Awards and just won her a 10th Daytime Emmy for Best Talk Show. Her personal vision has already had an impact on women’s apparel, accessories and pets and her incredible passion for interior design, architecture and fashion make her the perfect collaborator with Thomasville.

The ED furniture collection blends the quality and reputation of Thomasville home furnishings with Ellen DeGeneres’ distinctly relaxed design aesthetic. “The furniture in my collection is inspired by the furniture I have in my home. It’s classic, it’s beautiful, it’s sophisticated, it’s rich – that’s exactly how I would describe myself,” says DeGeneres.

DeGeneres’ personal touch is front and center with two styles showcased in the ED line of furniture. The first style showcases a relaxed mid-century styling that blends Italian and Danish influences with hand-crafted elements. The mid-century upholstery features sofas with free-flowing forms and more angular, tufted seating designs.

The second style features rustic modern designs inspired by DeGeneres’ love of original Scandinavian antiques. Rustic finished knotty white oak with antiqued hardware is accented beautifully with modern metal and stone.

According to Lori Stengren, Darvin Furniture VP Sales, Merchandising and Marketing, the ED collection is such a great addition to the Orland Park showroom because it reflects Ellen’s longstanding passion for decorating in her own homes.

“She had such a wonderful influence on the collection and we feel it is very livable and something people will instantly connect with,” Stengren says. “Her personal passion for home d?cor is apparent and we have seen a lot of activity in our ED displays.”

With more than 200,000 square feet of showroom space, and a long-standing relationship with Thomasville, Stengren says Darvin Furniture is able to dedicate a spacious area to the collection showcasing many of the items featured in her collection.
