Ethan Allen's Newport Collection Puts a Modern Twist on Traditional Furnishings.

DANBURY, Conn. -- Elegant enough for entertaining and relaxed enough for everyday enjoyment, Ethan Allen's (NYSE:ETH) Newport collection was created with function and livability in mind. Inspired by eighteenth and nineteenth century English and American designs, this new collection has an air of approachability.

Luxury for your everyday, Newport offers timeless forms with modern conveniences. From the adaptable interior features of the armoire to a desk with a drawer specifically designed to cradle a laptop computer.

Newport offers useful sophistication with well-proportioned dining room tables in a variety of sizes that can accommodate even more guests with the addition of leaves. The collection includes a finely detailed display cabinet that provides plenty of storage but won't overwhelm a room.

The carved molding on the sleigh bed wraps completely around the headboard and footboard, so this bed can be "floated" away from the walls.

Newport consists primarily of a blend of mahogany with primavera and swirl mahogany veneers, and is finished in warm tones, to create a "lived-with" look. A twist on the traditional, the new grouping has an updated classic style with added complements of yew wood, brass, black lacquer, chinoiserie, and touches of silver-toned hardware, which create truly special pieces and eclectic designs.

All of Newport furnishings, along with the collection's coordinating upholstery and decorative accessories, offer countless opportunities for self expression.

Because Ethan Allen is committed to creating flexible and versatile designs, this collection blends beautifully with many of the company's other collections, such as Townhouse, Tuscany, and 18th Century Classics.
