The Baker and McGuire brands have, for the first time, unveiled joint collections: The Baker Resort Collection® and The Baker Resort Collection® for McGuire. The ensemble of furniture is inspired by coastal vacations and modern luxury living, crafted with naturalistic materials, clean lines, indulgent textures, and simple forms.

The dynamic furniture designs evoke a casual coastal feel that are well suited for bedrooms, dining rooms, and living rooms—taking inspiration from hospitality and resort environments around the globe, such as the Caribbean, Mediterranean, South Pacific, and beyond.

This injection of resort ambiance is combined with the history and heritage of the brands to offer a fresh style backed by unparalleled quality and craftsmanship. The approach is designed to balance style and functionality to elevate everyday spaces.

The collections transmit a mixture of the escape offered by coastal retreats with the comfort and relaxation of a resort experience. There is a strong focus on clean lines and simple silhouettes to give an understated and timeless feel. New fabrics have been chosen to be both textural and—in the case of the 25 new outdoor pieces—stand up to the al fresco elements. The color palette is a blend of warm and cool iterations to provide a ‘sand and sea’ feel.

The first part of this ensemble is The Baker Resort Collection® with a lineup of 50 distinct pieces including—but not limited to—a bed, dresser, nightstands, benches, mirrors, and dining arrangements. Materials such as Lena Grey Marble, Natural and Blackened Bronze, and Matte Plaster make a statement on several pieces throughout, along with new finishes such as Oyster and Madeira. Highlights include:
