Caracole, Greensboro, NC, the high-style furniture line that is filled with personality and offered at an exceptional value in more than 40 countries worldwide has appointed Tim O’Hare to the new position of Senior Vice President of Creative Merchandising.
“Over the past few years, we have expanded our line to include not only new designs, but collections that focus on high design,” said Scott Smith, president of Caracole. “We have worked with Tim for years as a freelance designer and have valued his insight on the future of our designs, so he will be a valuable new member of our team.”
O’Hare joins Caracole from the design firm H. Thomas Keller and Associates, High Point, NC. He was with the firm for 24 years and was a senior partner for the past 17. As senior partner and lead creative, he produced lines for many of the industry leaders, which included Caracole from the inception and Caracole’s parent company, Schnadig, for the past 24 years.
In his role with Caracole, Tim will lead the creative vision and overall product design for case goods and upholstery, as well as merchandising for all of Caracole’s brands – Classic, Modern, Compositions and Signature. “Caracole has been known for creating memorable individual pieces of furniture that integrate well in a variety of interiors,” said O’Hare. “Moving forward, you will find an even more carefully curated perspective on our offerings. We are focusing on higher end details in everything from our designs to our hardware and our upholstery. We also plan to make it easier for designers and retailers to help their customers. For instance, at this High Point Furniture Market, all of our offerings are now pre-cut, significantly reducing delivery times. It’s these kinds of design and operational shifts that will take the company to the next level.”
