This company happens to be one of the giants in the home furnishings industry.

Especially when a company this big, with such resources, just helps themselves to my life's work.

<br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What a challenging year this has been so far. I'm so grateful I took my true path back into my own hands starting in the beginning of this year. It's been a
powerful mix of liberation, growth, pain, healing, determination, and
now a happy refocus on what's truly important. Back to a joyful close
proximity to my children and happiness. Now, I'm so excited to walk each
step through the rest of this year.</span></span><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There's so much to look forward to. Some highlights from the past months, I recently got another production design gig on a very powerful short film. We finished filming almost two weeks ago, and it should release as early as this Fall/Winter.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I also found my first tiny acting role on a new <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1728080/?ref_=ttfc_fc_dr1" target="_blank">Sonny Vellozzi </a>film called "<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5357790/" target="_blank">Without You</a>" coming in 2018. That was so fun! And it gave me my first <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5357790/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm#cast" target="_blank">IMDb credit</a> for acting. Until this, all <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm5718869/?ref_=nv_sr_1" target="_blank">my work</a> has been behind the cameras. I got to play a character named "Pete", a mafia wiseguy playing dominoes outside of a social club. Much to my delight, my character gets into an argument with another player, and my ad lib lines were full of curse words!</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now, it looks like there is a lot more production work on the horizon. I feel so grateful I get to follow one of my true passions in life. But, next month there's something even more exciting! I'm relaunching my seating designs at the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/1323385341092932" target="_blank">High Point Furniture Market</a>. The "never give up no matter what" business plan will finally begin to pay off this October, and I could not be more excited! This particular journey to my own collection started back in 2008 in Shanghai.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What a long road it's been. The miles nor trials could never break my passion!</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My collection has been launched in High Point before. The initial launch was a very successful one for orders and placements. Over 14 retailers around the country ordered the collection for their stores. However, my manufacturing partner at that time took 33 weeks to process the first order. It was euphoria turned nightmare. Well, this <a href="http://www.highpointmarket.org/" target="_blank">High Point Market </a>is very different. I have partnered with a very solid and long established manufacturer. Founded in 1959, <a href="http://www.eliteleather.com/" target="_blank">Elite Leather Company</a> is a trusted brand in the industry, and among consumers as well. Starting this Fall season my <a href="http://robertpetril.blogspot.com/p/furniture.html" target="_blank">designs</a> will come to life again, and actually be able to populate some very cool spaces out there.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The journey has been long and challenging to say the least. This year I learned about letting go. It's all about the journey far away from what just wasn't real. I'm living the confirmation that when we are truthful, (first and fully with ourselves) walking life's journey authentically becomes very natural, joyful, and peaceful. True soul peace. No blame. No validation necessary. I'm looking forward to these next few months and closing out this year of valuable growth. Continuing the walk forward. And, I'm wishing everyone truth and happiness along your walk as well.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Why is the base blue on this sofa? I say it's because everyone else puts a brown base on theirs, and my passion begins when the old rules get broken! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I often get asked, why don't we
just do our version of what sells the most out there. My answer is
always the same. That's why furniture is not important enough! There is a
sea of the same brown couches out there! I'm about putting the passion
back into relaxing and living at home.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Color changes everything! It stimulates us. It rejuvenates us, and elevates our moods. It's real simple. I believe that furniture should be and can be fun. And I'm setting out only to design some of the coolest places to sit on the planet!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif";"> </span><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When
I was a kid I dreamed about growing up and flying rockets, or at least some job
where I would get to push all kinds of cool buttons. Well, you know
what happens - the real world and destiny reveal themselves. At least I get to
push all kinds of buttons on my smart phone now!</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My
father was a sales rep in the furniture business. As a child of the industry who
was writing messages on the chalkboard in the kitchen (right before answering
machines) for my father from retail salespeople, my destiny was set very early.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My
professional path started in the factories. I worked in every department from
the lumberyard to the loading dock. Then I went onto floor sales in a furniture
store. From there, I eventually became a sub-rep, a lead-rep, and finally a top
ranked VP for the largest leather furniture manufacturer in the world.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> I
had found financial success and a really cool title. Traveled the world and
learned more about the industry than I could ever imagine. There were two
problems I discovered within all that I was learning: 1) People hate buying furniture;
2) None of my work had much to do at all with my real passion in life.</span></span>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">People
in just about every financial bracket clamor for the latest new technology,
automobile, or new gear, but not furniture! Sorry but the truth is, we as an
industry do a terrible job of exciting people. It’s been my passion for many
years now to do my little part to change that. Now I actually get to do that!</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Over
10 years ago when I ripped off my tie, and left the world of sales to follow my
true passion in creating things, the journey <a href="http://robertpetril.blogspot.com/p/furniture.html" target="_blank">to my own collection</a> began.
Now, the mission is very simple, to break every paradigm that makes sense to
break. To follow a new vision of fun and exciting new products that people will
clamor for. We live on our couches. And yes, we do call them couches!</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So
now the long wondrous journey has brought me to the beginning of a whole new
one. Mod Life Collection launches in less than two weeks. I can't believe it's finally here! Let's Rock!</span></span></div>

<![endif]--><span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">Whenever
I hear it said that the “Boy’s Club” still rules and “women need not apply,” I
feel compelled to share my experiences in this industry.</span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;"> It’s true, if you
walk into most showrooms in High Point during the beginning of the </span><a href="http://www.highpointmarket.org/" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;" target="_blank">Furniture Market</a><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">, you will find a huge group of older men in their new market ties
getting ready for the sales meetings. Soon the company leaders (mostly all men)
will get up and address the sales force. He will tell them why these
products will sell and give them the marching orders for the upcoming season.
Some of those leaders will even talk about how more women are needed in
influential positions in our industry. I’ve heard the same empty rhetoric for
30 years now! The problem is, some say it because they believe it, and some
because they think it’s the right thing to say and it makes them look more
progressive. However, they’re still saying this to a huge group of aging men.
Some in really great ties, too. But the truth is there’s no plot against
women or anyone else. The only plot is to desperately keep their jobs.</span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;"></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">To begin
to go to the core of the problem we have to back up and understand how this
industry was built. I, myself, am a perfect example of how the industry has evolved.
I’m a pure nepotistic traveler into the wide world of furniture. My father is a
retired 50 year veteran of the industry, and he brought me in through the worm
hole called “who you know.” Here’s the dirty little secret. In the
good ole days, you didn’t have to possess the truly applicable talent nor
education to make a lot of money in the furniture business. You needed to have
a father in it! Then you needed to learn to talk the talk and take the right
people to lunch without saying something stupid. And to this day, the same crop
of individuals cultivated over the decades is still in many of the same
positions. The only difference now is they are holding on for dear life! So few
are there because of their training or deep connection to what really applies
to today’s home or the real consumers’ design sensibilities.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">Women of
the industry please listen carefully. You are the primary consumers of our
products. These jobs are there for your taking! The “Boys Club” is weak.
Actually, it doesn’t really even exist at all. A club implies organization and
a team working together for a cause. Trust me, most of their wives still pick
their ties! They can’t compete with you head to head. You got this! The biggest
obstacle today is the fear, insecurity, and the misunderstandings stemming from
the years of the smoke and mirror show perfection. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;"></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">The
reality is, the industry is ripe for takeover on every level. And, it has to be
on every single level. If we really look around, there are some amazing
bright spots and real progress is happening. Take a look at Meredith Younger at
<a href="http://youngerfurniture.com/" target="_blank">Younger Furniture</a>. She’s leading a great upholstery company and she’s kicking
ass and taking names! Watch <a href="https://www.facebook.com/JuliaRosien" target="_blank">Julia Rosien</a> leading the charge at <a href="http://www.restonic.com/" target="_blank">Restonic</a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">Along
with the obstacles to women (and just as lethal to our industry) is the
complete disregard of real recruitment efforts. Only through interior design
does this exist at all. Over the years I’ve been in hiring positions for
meaningful jobs. Early at one point, I worked for a very well known furniture
company and I advertised a very high paying sales position. I was flooded with
resumes from those same men in ties and their sons from the same showrooms I
mentioned earlier. Not one resume was from a woman. Not one from someone in
retail or a design firm or anywhere else. In hindsight, I also did a terrible
job of targeting my recruitment efforts towards a new and innovative direction.
At the time I was young, scared, and inexperienced. I hired from the safe stack
of resumes in front of me. And the list go on!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;"> </span>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">Wait it
gets even worse! To even begin changing recruitment efforts we have to address
another huge core problem. It’s the investment in Research and Design. When
money goes into R&D, students and young talented women and men have
something with which (and for) to work. But that’s a whole other critical
subject. Bottom line is, the world has changed. We need a real gender, age,
cultural, and investment balance. We need new talent and new blood in our
industry and we better hurry! We’ve been behind for decades and the world is
only moving faster and faster. So, women, men, gays, straights, and green </span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">Martians, let’s go to
the core and make things happen one bite at a time. Because if we don’t our
kids will soon be sitting on their new Apple and Samsung sofas!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: small;">I took this very simple photo (above) a few years ago in Shanghai. At that time, it symbolized change or transition to me. I loved the contrast of these two walls coming together. It seemed to fit how I felt about my own life path. I was well into my transitional journey through the world of design and creating things inspired by my own unique visions.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: small;">These walls are located in a back alley near a place I loved and frequented when I was living there. A street called Tai Kung Lu. A place where you can find many artist's studios, outdoor cafes, quaint little restaurants, and boutiques. It was one of my favorite inspirational hangouts.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: small;">I can remember so many days there dreaming about where I wanted my life path to lead. I was doing what I loved, but I still felt that part of me was stuck in a different life. Like I really didn't belong there, and my dream was reaching towards nothing but more uncertainty. Yet the urge to continue reaching has never diminished. And today I know exactly where it was all leading.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: small;">Back to the photo at the top. While the contrast of the two walls coming together is so beautiful, the stucco represented the norm or the way everyone says things should be. The brick on the other hand displays a wonder of texture, depth, variance, and contrast within itself. It's much more beautiful to me. The multitude of flaws make it feel much more authentic than the stucco to the left.</span></span></span><br />

better than finding the perfect piece of furniture for your home. It’s comfortable,
it fits the dimensions of your space, and best of all, it fits your
personality. But sometimes it can be a struggle to find artwork to match your

<span style="background: white; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The solution? Don’t
worry about matching! Here’s a little design secret: There are no rules that
say that your art has to perfectly coordinate with your interiors in color,
size, or aesthetic. In fact, when your artwork has an oddity to its size, or is
displayed in a nontraditional way, or even if the subject is unexpected, that’s
what makes your home a real home!</span></div>

<span style="background: white; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Your artwork should
reflect you, your personality, your family, and your lifestyle in a way that
creates a treasured home environment. Here are a few ways to bring the
unexpected into your home art gallery.</span></div>

according to rigid standards? You may have chosen a patterned sofa or set of
chairs and tried to find art in the same color palette. However, there are plenty
of ways to style a look without being overly matchy-matchy. Imagine a black-and-white
striped chair with a bright red and orange abstract print above, for example.
Colors can be complementary, or you could have just one color in common to tie
it all together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

rug doesn’t mean you have to buy an original painting to match. No matter how
nice your furniture is, you can find inexpensive artwork to match. Instead of choosing
a pricey painting, why not display your favorite prints? Calendars are a great
source for multiple prints that can be arranged together using uniform frames.
It’s really all about expressing your unique style so that when you look at it
all together, you can’t help but smile.</span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="background: white; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Choose your locations wisely. </span></b><span style="background: white; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">It’s a good idea to consider the function
of each room before deciding which art will live in it. Start out by grouping
your artwork together and determining which rooms you want to display which
pieces. If you’re worried that small children or rowdy guests will disturb your
artwork, consider pieces that are not breakable for common areas. A few long
hanging wires spray-painted with plastic coating or a grouping of long picture
shelves could hold your children’s favorite books or Lego creations. Or if the
kids are older, you can pair artwork from your latest travels with cherished
photos of your kids to give your room a new focal point.</span></div>

about gallery walls is that they fit in with just about any décor. If you have
boxes of treasures hidden away, look through them and pick out meaningful
pieces to display, from your kids’ artwork to favorite family photos and
beloved prints. Think outside-the-box by mixing colors and patterns. Robert’s
own bright and multicolored furniture designs work so well with a mix of old
and new accessories, and a gallery wall is the perfect way to accomplish that
look. </span></div>

with style. Skip the photo studio and have a few of your favorite snapshots
printed as over sized black-and-white photos… perhaps one of each family member
sticking out their tongue out or blowing out their cheeks? This look is so much
more personal than posed studio shots and will remind you of special times
together.</span></div>

Last summer I had the privilege of working as production designer with the kids from The Boys & Girls Clubs of America, on the feature film called "<a href="http://thestreammovie.com/">The Stream</a>". It's now official that it will launch on select screens at <a href="http://www.regmovies.com/">Regal Cinemas</a> nationwide. Here's the official release...</span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was a truly amazing experience to work on this film. Our task was to turn multiple rooms, interiors, and outdoor spaces back to 1981. A challenging task, but one I feel my age gave me an advantage. I was a teenager myself during the period of this story. My memories of my own, and my friend's houses in the early 80's were burned deep into my brain. Let's just say...the design sensibilities of that time were not the most alluring. We're talking the age of brown paneling!</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's the bedroom we created for the lead characters Ernest & Bobby, played by Jacob Williams and Michael Capperella...</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the most challenging tasks was to find the cars. In some cases, I actually chased cars down I passed on the road. Two cars that I managed to get stopped (and I not killed) will appear in the film.</span></span></div>

A large portion of the proceeds of ticket and DVD sales will benefit <a href="http://www.bgca.org/Pages/index.aspx">The Boys & Girls Clubs of America</a>. And the kids from the Clubs helped to make the film. This made working on this film a truly special and wonderful experience. And, some pretty big Hollywood peeps stepped up to help the cause. </span></span></div>
