High Point, North Carolina — Along the arm of a long, low modular sofa, warm-grained American walnut meets rich, tobacco-toned leather at a clean, precise, and entirely visible seam. This thoughtful detail distills the overarching philosophy behind the Arundel Collection, a comprehensive new family of furniture designed by Eureka Ergonomic for the living room, dining room, and bedroom. In this new series, leather, natural wood, natural stone, and metal work in close harmony to determine both form and architectural scale.
The collection represents a deliberate shift in how the brand approaches high-end interior design, focusing heavily on tactile depth and structural honesty rather than surface ornamentation. Tom Hu, the founder and CEO of Eureka Ergonomic, articulates this design ethos directly.
"Luxury for us is not more decoration," Hu says. "It is more depth in material, proportion, and execution."
The Arundel Collection draws its aesthetic inspiration from two distinct design sensibilities: the enduring, welcoming comfort of traditional American furniture built for long-term daily living, and the clean, uncluttered clarity of European modernism. For Hu and his design team, the primary objective was striking a delicate and sophisticated balance. The team wanted Arundel to feel thoroughly modern without ever becoming thin or overly minimal, while remaining substantial without slipping into traditional heaviness, and materially rich without appearing visually busy.
Positioned firmly within Eureka Ergonomic’s "Attainable Luxury" tier, the collection makes its official public debut at the High Point Market, running from October 17 through October 21. Attendees and design professionals can experience the line firsthand in the company’s fourth-floor showroom, located in IHFC D440, where it is meticulously staged as a complete, cohesive residence to demonstrate its full architectural potential.
Where Materials Meet
The collection’s guiding principle—material composition—is perhaps most easily read at the physical seams where one tactile element gives way to the next. Rather than attempting to seamlessly mask where materials join, the designers have chosen to celebrate these intersections. A subtle change in thickness or a clean step in level marks each transition from wood to leather, or from stone to metal.
As Hu explains, the brand does not always seek to hide the join. In many cases, it is precisely at these intersections that the true quality of the manufacturing execution becomes visible to the eye and the hand.
The individual pieces within the collection sit broad and low to the ground, featuring softly rounded corners and a generous scale specifically calibrated for spacious, contemporary rooms. Natural stone—pulled from an edited, sophisticated palette featuring greens, blacks, whites, and warmer earthy tones—brings a necessary sense of gravity and grounding to the designs. Meanwhile, antique brass and champagne gold are reserved selectively for edges, accents, and supporting structural details.
"We want people to see, touch, and understand each material, but no single material should dominate the furniture," Hu notes, emphasizing the democratic interplay of textures that defines the entire series.
Piece by Piece
The modular sofa stands out as the fullest and most complex expression of the Arundel Collection. It can be configured to run in a continuous straight line or turn a sharp corner, incorporating a rich walnut table built directly into the linear run of seats. Warm ivory upholstery forms the primary body of the seating, while premium cowhide sourced from Italy and South America lends structural weight and visual depth to the outer ends.
For Hu, encountering the sofa for the first time is meant to be an experience that unfolds gradually in deliberate stages.
"That sequence is very important to us: first you feel the piece, then you discover how it is made," he says.
Accompanying the modular sofa in the living room lineup is the Arundel coffee table, which pairs natural wood and natural stone across two distinct heights, neatly finished with subtle champagne gold details.
Moving beyond the living room, the collection extends gracefully into entryways and dining spaces. A striking console lifts a broad top on crossed, curved supports, while a refined sideboard rests a generous surface atop a remarkably slim frame. Each of these storage pieces pairs American walnut with antique brass hardware, maintaining the material continuity of the home.
In the bedroom, the design language shifts into intimate territory. A channel-tufted headboard upholstered in neutral fabric and trimmed delicately in champagne gold extends outward, flowing seamlessly into an integrated vanity and a matching nightstand to form one continuous, harmonious plane. Complementing this bedroom grouping is a comprehensive wall system composed of architectural aluminum panels, illuminated open shelving, and refined glass display cabinets, which effectively extends the collection far beyond traditional freestanding furniture and into built-in territory.
Together, the six distinct pieces are engineered to furnish a home as a single, unified composition. It is a design language that the brand intends to push even further into storage solutions and architectural elements as the collection evolves over time.
The name Arundel itself was chosen deliberately to evoke a sense of permanence, architectural stability, and a deep sense of belonging within a physical space. It is furniture meant to anchor a room for years to come.
"Contemporary, but not temporary," Hu concludes, summarizing the core mission of the release. "That is an important distinction for Arundel."
