FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Woolrich¨ Debuts New Chatham Run Collection with The Zrike Company

 

October 28, 2006 Oakland, NJ – Woolrich, the brand that brings the outdoors inside with nature inspired home furnishings, debuts Chatham Run at the New York Tabletop Market (October 28 through November 1, 2006).  The new collection will be introduced at The Zrike CompanyÕs showroom in the New York Gift Building at 7 West 34th Street.  The Zrike Company, a leader in the tableware and giftware industry, is the exclusive tableware Brand Partner for Woolrich.

 

Taking its name from the beautiful Susquehanna River tributary which has been home to Woolrich since 1830, Chatham Run dinnerware and accessories impart the boldness and practical simplicity that propelled a tiny woolen mill into an internationally recognized brand. Hues reminiscent of speckled denim, spice, and moss form a cradle for natureÕs artistry, represented here by embossed leaves, berries, and stems.  The base media of the collection is ceramic, but it is complemented by the striking use of glass, metal, and leather.  Clever accessories such as the fire-pit will allow collectors to celebrate the outdoors even while entertaining in the comfort of home.

 

The collection consists of dinner, salad, soup, mug, serving bowl, fire-pit, beverage tub, set of three canisters, corn dish, BBQ platter, trivet, condiment caddy, beverage tapper, glassware, and chili pot with four bowls and ladle.  The entire series will be sold open stock and will retail from $5.00 to $140.00.
