Local Furniture Maker Honors the Past with Custom Affordable Artistry for the Present

    JACKSONVILLE, FL, April 01, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Microbreweries, local produce, and mom-and-pop restaurants -- they're all part of a renewed "Grow Local-Shop Local" movement in Jacksonville. Recently, the emergence of local-emphasized home projects with its focus on "authentic" spaces has become key in the custom, keep-it-local, movement. The movement includes renewed interest in interior landscaping with unique, high-quality, locally produced furnishings. This drive has ushered in a new appreciation for the local artisans who produce hand-crafted furnishings at a company that's been quietly creating affordable artistry for the people of Jacksonville, Florida for decades.

Jenny Hugo is a third generation furniture design specialist whose family heritage lies in creating spaces that are both classic and modern using locally produced furnishings. "Hugo's Fine Furniture and Interiors focuses on locally produced products to furnish spaces. That's been a core value of our company since its inception and the appreciation for tying together the 'classic' and 'modern' continues to inspire all of our designs."

In those designs, the Hugo's team ties together traditional aspects such as exposed brick and wood accents with fresh vision to create one-of-a-kind spaces that offer young professionals the customized furnishings they want at affordable prices. This unique "affordable artistry" is a hallmark of the Hugo's brand. The design team works with Hugo's furniture production artists to create unique, customized homescapes that support the "produce local, shop local, stay local" artisan movement.

"We're proud that as we enter a new era as a family-owned company, the public is demonstrating a renewed appreciation for our long tradition of employing local furniture artists," says Hugo. "Engaging young professionals in this tradition is especially rewarding because it confirms our commitment to the values and the quality that have been our way of operating for decades."

Entering their second century, the family-driven company is committed to combining founder Albert's experience in Germany as a tapezierer and his wife's expertise in creating window treatments to keep the custom artistry of the past alive in the home spaces of the present.
