Richmond, CA, Feb. 11, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- California Closets®, a subsidiary of FirstService Corporation (NASDAQ: FSV, TSX: FSV), and Marquee Brands announced today the launch of The Everyday System,™ a first-ever line of customizable organizational solutions for the entire home, in an exclusive license with Martha Stewart. Differentiated by its modern, metal-and-wood design and proprietary Hidden Track System, The Everyday System brings together Martha Stewart’s unique style with the expertise of California Closets, the industry leader for over 40 years in premium custom storage systems. Available for purchase at www.californiaclosets.com/martha-stewart/ and through California Closets design consultants, the new line features minimal installation, seamless adjustability, and an accessible price point, giving customers the confidence to personalize their storage needs for spaces large or small.
“It has been a pleasure working with California Closets on a new closet and organizational system that will change homemakers’ lives,” said Martha Stewart. “Our new closet and storage components are versatile and beautifully designed and rendered in exquisite materials and finishes. These units can be used in every room in a house to simplify and organize everyday living.”
“As the originators and leaders in our respective industries, California Closets and Martha Stewart share genuine values that inspired this authentic relationship from day one,” said California Closets CEO Bill Barton. “We are honored to collaborate with Martha and her team on this exclusive line of exceptionally well-designed and versatile organizational solutions that customers can customize as their needs and living spaces evolve. Both the modular configurability of The Everyday System and the personal insight from Martha that informed so much of its distinctive design present a milestone opportunity for California Closets to expand our expertise and deepen our relationship with customers.”
“We are thrilled to work with California Closets to expand our product offerings with modular systems for the whole home,” says Carolyn D’Angelo, Home Division President at Marquee Brands. “They are the industry leader in closet storage and organization, and Martha is the lifestyle expert in all things solution-based, so bringing the two brands together is an amazing collaboration.”
The Everyday System is comprised of high-quality modular components that can be configured to create hundreds of storage solutions for the home, including closets, home offices, media systems, craft rooms, and pantries. Eco-friendly finishes such as Perry St. White Woodgrain and Bedford Grey Woodgrain, along with graphite and gold metal accent colors, all draw inspiration from Martha’s personal homes. Additionally, distinctive features like soft-close drawers and textural metal-mesh cabinet door inserts allow clothing to breathe and are expertly designed to Martha’s specifications.
Easily installed, The Everyday System can be moved from room to room, or home to home, and can be customized to provide added storage and accommodate customers’ changing needs over time. An extremely sturdy steel design features a single connection point to the wall, while a proprietary Hidden Track System creates a flawless finish and conceals adjustable shelving. Featuring generous single and double-hang areas, as well as ample shoe storage, The Everyday System also offers full-extension drawer boxes or metal mesh baskets on gliders, which provide smart alternatives for accessing smaller clothing items or pantry goods.
“Martha’s incredible attention to detail and her many years of teaching her audiences about the principles of good design elevated how we approached the style and function of The Everyday System,” says California Closets SVP and Chief Merchandising Officer Jill LaRue-Rieser. “This product is practical in its simplicity to install and configure, yet also sophisticated with its contemporary wood-and-metal design. Complementary to our core offering, we believe The Everyday System will also allow us to service a greater segment of customers, particularly those who are renting or looking for accessible, installed organizational solutions that they can modify themselves or relocate with ease.”
Modular components are available in two depths, 14”and 20”, and three widths, 16”, 24”, and 30”. The line also includes a 48” shelf with a built-in USB and outlet designed to accommodate media and home office needs.
The Everyday System also includes an exclusive collection of accessories such as premium hangers, as well as trays and collapsible bins offered in iconic Martha Stewart colors.
Pricing for The Everyday System begins at $999. Customers can install the product on their own or select California Closets’ professional installation services.
Product availability may vary by location.
