Description
Timeless furniture is not only functional, but also expressive. We believe furniture should be well-designed and equipped to deal with the needs of consumers as well as being a means of stating one’s style and attitude toward living. We are looking for fresh, bold statements about contemporary living and luxury manifested through upholstered furniture.

For over 40 years, Weiman/Preview has been a leader in contemporary upholstered furniture, designing sofas, sectionals and chairs that have always captured the imagination and eye of the fashion forward culture. We are known for our curvaceous and sculptural silhouettes that imply movement, organic and anamorphic shapes that take on a life of their own. We now invite you to bring your ideas on what the next wave of contemporary, organic furniture can and will be.
