(BUSINESS WIRE) Timeless rustic styling, unsurpassed comfort and durability, and hand crafted leather details with western themes distinguish new seating options from the Wrangler Home Originals Collection.

"Today, consumers are spending more time at home enjoying the company of family and friends," notes George Weldon, director of North American licensing for the Wrangler Home brand. "For gathering spaces such as great rooms and family rooms, consumers want seating special enough for casual entertaining yet practical enough for everyday life. And, our fresh take on traditional Americana revitalizes timeless favorites with updates for the way we live today."

Of particular note, the Maverick seating group, which includes a sofa, loveseat, chair and ottoman, is equal parts comfort and rugged western style. "Our burnished 'cigar' brown leather upholstery will continue to polish over time, and with use, a rich patina and softer hand will develop," comments Weldon. "Plus, the generous scale and double padded sofa back with two pillows for extra comfort make relaxing a breeze."

With embossed leather accents, nailhead trim details, and gunstock rustic oak feet, the Maverick seating group is a novel twist on the casual lifestyle inspired by the haciendas of the Rio Grande and the ranches of America's western frontier.

Adding an accent or occasional chair to a favorite room creates a welcoming atmosphere and provides additional seating for entertaining. Of note, the Geyser leather club chair and ottoman are proportioned for comfort, and the combination of embossed, tooled and top grain hand rubbed leather creates a vintage look with distinctive depth of character and textural interest.

The Polebridge leather accent chair, ideal for a bedroom or living room, features Western-themed decorative stitching details in lighter Roman brown leather. Contrasting embroidered leather in darker promenade brown reveals a vintage, worn look with a starburst pattern when pinched or pulled-up. Featuring a framed end back, nailhead details, turnings on the arms and front feet in a gun stock rustic oak finish, and padded arms for comfort, the Polebridge chair can be special ordered in a variety of custom upholstery fabrics, too.

Whether it's a comfortable chair, welcoming sofa or versatile ottoman, new seating options from the Wrangler Home Originals Collection are the perfect complement to rustic and traditional décor.

"As with all furnishings from the Wrangler Home brand, our new Originals Collection combines warmth, timeless styling and built-in durability, all for a value," notes Weldon. "The Wrangler Home brand fits perfectly into the active American lifestyle, creating what we call 'Real. Comfortable. Home.'"

The Originals Collection may be seen as part of lifestyle home furnishing displays at the Flexsteel IHFC showroom (Space C-558) from April 25 - 30, 2009 during the International Home Furnishings Market in High Point, NC. The collection is also showcased at the new Wrangler Home Idea House in Branson, MO, which is open free to the public through December 11, 2009.
