Along the arm of a long, low modular sofa, warm-grained walnut meets tobacco-toned leather at a clean, visible seam. This precise architectural detail distills the core design philosophy behind the Arundel Collection, a comprehensive new family of furnishings for the living room, dining room, and bedroom created by Eureka Ergonomic. Spanning multiple rooms and core living spaces, the collection introduces a sophisticated material dialogue where leather, wood, natural stone, and metal work in concert to determine form, proportion, and physical scale.
For Tom Hu, founder and CEO of Eureka Ergonomic, true luxury exists far away from superfluous ornamentation. "Luxury for us is not more decoration," Hu says. "It is more depth in material, proportion, and execution."
The newly unveiled collection draws its inspiration from two distinct design sensibilities: the enduring, physical comfort of traditional American furniture engineered for long-term daily living, and the geometric clarity and restraint of European modernism. For Hu and his design team, the overarching ambition was to strike a delicate balance between contrasting paradigms. The goal, according to the leadership team, was to craft a collection that feels thoroughly modern without ever becoming thin or overly minimal, while remaining substantial without slipping into traditional heaviness, and maintaining material richness without becoming visually busy.
Where Materials Meet
The guiding principle of the Arundel Collection is material composition, a philosophy that is perhaps most legible at the physical seams where one element transitions directly into the next. Rather than attempting to mask or completely conceal the joins between disparate substances, the designers have chosen to celebrate these thresholds. A deliberate change in thickness or a precise step in level marks each transition, inviting physical interaction. As Hu explains, the brand does not always want to hide the join; often, that is precisely where 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 softened corners and an expansive scale meticulously calibrated for generous, contemporary rooms. Natural stone—drawn from an edited, carefully curated palette of greens, blacks, whites, and warmer earthy tones—brings a necessary sense of architectural gravity to the designs. Meanwhile, antique brass and champagne gold are reserved exclusively for subtle edges, structural supports, and grounding details. The intention is to let users experience each component authentically. "We want people to see, touch, and understand each material, but no single material should dominate the furniture," Hu notes.
Piece by Piece
The modular sofa, which the company regards as the fullest and most complex expression of the entire collection, exemplifies this material interplay. Designed to run in a straight line or turn a corner depending on the spatial requirements of a room, the seating arrangement features a warm-grained walnut table built directly into the continuous run of seats. Soft warm ivory upholstery forms the main body of the seating, while premium cowhide sourced from Italy and South America lends structural weight and tactile richness to the ends.
For Hu, encountering the modular sofa is designed to be an experience that gradually unfolds in distinct stages. "That sequence is very important to us: first you feel the piece, then you discover how it is made," he says.
Alongside the statement-making sofa, the Arundel coffee table pairs rich American wood and natural stone across two distinct vertical heights, all finished with refined champagne gold details that tie the composition together.
Moving beyond the primary living space, the collection extends into the entryway, dining room, and bedroom with equal rigor. Suited to entryways and formal dining areas, an executive console lifts a broad top on crossed, curved supports, while a complementary sideboard rests a generous surface upon a slim, elegant frame. Each of these storage pieces pairs warm American walnut with antique brass accents.
In the bedroom, a channel-tufted headboard upholstered in a neutral tone and trimmed with champagne gold extends seamlessly into an integrated vanity and a bedside nightstand, forming one continuous architectural plane. To round out the domestic ecosystem, a sophisticated wall system composed of aluminum panels, illuminated open shelving, and glass display cabinets extends the reach of the collection far beyond freestanding furniture, offering a holistic approach to interior styling.
Together, the six primary elements are designed to furnish an entire home as a single cohesive composition—a developing design language that the brand envisions expanding further into architectural storage and built-in elements over time. The name Arundel was deliberately chosen to evoke a sense of permanence, grounding, and a deep feeling of belonging within a domestic space. "Contemporary, but not temporary," Hu says, summarizing the ethos of the line. "That is an important distinction for Arundel."
Positioned firmly within Eureka Ergonomic’s "Attainable Luxury" tier, the Arundel Collection makes its official debut at High Point Market. The comprehensive line is on display from October 17 through October 21 within the company’s fourth-floor showroom, located at IHFC D440, where it has been meticulously staged as a complete, functioning residence to showcase its full spatial potential.
