    Dallas shop sexes up furniture finds with famed designer’s luxe Lucite line

    Electric in hue and seemingly illuminated from within, Alexandra von Furstenberg’s acrylic furniture and accessories have a high-octane sexiness not seen since the days of Studio 54.

    And it’s that slightly louche, sleekly modern vibe that has made her line such a success upon its debut in 2007. Having expanded from an eight-piece collection of side and dining tables into a full-fledged line with limited-edition pieces, tabletop accessories, and even a backgammon set, the Los Angeles-based designer owns the market for luxe, colored Lucite.

    Formerly trained in fashion, von Furstenberg attended the Parsons School of Design before joining the design team of her former mother-in-law, Diane von Furstenberg. She helped to relaunch the iconic DVF wrap dress, then decided to shift her attention to the home market after a move to the West Coast.

    “When I left fashion, it just didn’t seem like there was a need for another label or brand in clothing,” she recalls. “I had always loved interiors; it was something I gravitated to. Design is design, as far as I’m concerned.”

    Fascinated by futurism, she started to explore the possibilities of using Lucite as a material, discovering the material’s limitations and boundaries as she went.

    “I felt like it was a material that had really gone dormant. Nobody really tapped into it, and I didn’t understand why, because the possibilities were endless. It was something I decided to teach myself and learn everything about how it reacts to heat and cold. It took me a year and a half of research before I opened my company.”

    She soon discovered Lucite’s gemlike reflection and the vivid rainbow of colors she could capture in her designs. Her original neon tables were followed by a more masculine “Voltage” series in mirror and smoke finishes in 2009.

    The largest distributor of Von Furstenberg’s line in Texas and the exclusive seller of the furniture collection, Gallerie Noir in the Design District will host the designer Tuesday, October 27, from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. She will be signing any pieces purchased while a DJ spins hits.

    Shop owner and interior designer Melissa Enriquez says the luminescent designs are the perfect addition to the Gallerie Noir design aesthetic.

    “We use the word edgy a lot, but I think [our style] is a traditional soft contemporary with a bit of a darker color palette, and her pops of color are the young, hip way to bring color into a room,” Enriquez explains. “I also love the fact that not many people carry the collection. It’s a really fresh approach for Dallas. Her pieces really make a room and add just the right amount of edge, but can go in any type of décor.”

    And von Furstenberg’s line is just the latest to join Gallerie’s chic stable. Enriquez represents photographer Lyle Owerko, best known for his oversized “Boombox Series” of images, and offers her clients other artistic finds they won’t discover anywhere else, along with her own line of furniture and accessories retailing from $295 to $5,800.

    As for von Furstenberg, she won’t be shying away from her signature style any time soon. “Of course I want to expand and play with other materials,” she muses. “But I will never get away from this anytime soon. If I work with wood or metals I’ll pair it with Lucite. It’ll always be the foundation.”

    The collection also includes home accessories like these vases (here being used as pen holders).

    Joann Fabrics to close all stores including 15 in Dallas-Fort Worth

    Seven Dallas-Fort Worth Joann Fabric stores will close.

    It's a sad day for crafters everywhere – Joann Fabrics is shuttering all of iits 800 stores nationwide, including 15 in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

    The closure follows after the company filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy for the second time in January 2025. Joann Inc. initially filed for bankruptcy in March 2024.

    "This was a very difficult decision to make, given the major impact we know it will have on our Team Members, our customers and all of the communities we serve," the company said in a statement. "A careful analysis of store performance and future strategic fit for the Company determined which stores should remain operating as usual at this time. Right-sizing our store footprint is a critical part of our efforts to ensure the best path forward for JOANN.”

    UPDATE 2-24-2025: Joann will close all of its 800 fabric stores after failing to find a buyer. The chain previously planned to close approximately 500 of its 800 locations. However, after it was auctioned off to a new ownership group, the company will now shut down all stores after conducting going-out-of-business sales at each location.
    __________________________________

    The company was founded in 1943 in Cleveland, Ohio, and has been a beloved destination for quilters, sewists, knitters, crocheters, and other hobbyists. It currently operates about 800 locations and four distribution centers across 49 states.

    Eight Joann stores throughout Dallas-Fort Worth were included in an initial closing list, according to court documents filed on Wednesday, February 12.

    It is unknown when the stores will officially close, and when clearance sales will take place.

    The Dallas-Fort Worth stores are:

    • 137 Merchants Row, #165, Arlington
    • 6330 E. Mockingbird Ln., Dallas
    • 11700 Preston Rd. #810, Dallas
    • 2640 West University Dr., Denton
    • 1400 Green Oaks Rd., Fort Worth
    • 5212 S. Hulen St. Fort Worth
    • 2930 Preston Rd. #800, Frisco
    • 1250 William D Tate Ave., Grapevine
    • 1439 W. Pipeline Road, Hurst
    • 715 Hebron Pkwy., Lewisville
    • 2050 W. University Dr. #250, McKinney
    • 19105 Lyndon B Johnson Fwy., Mesquite
    • 2000 FM 663, #500, Midlothian
    • 700 Alma Dr., Plano
    • 1049 E. IH 30, Rockwall
    Other Texas Joann locations that were listed in the initial closure included:
    • 3206 South Clack Drive, Abilene
    • 9500 S. IH 35 Frontage Road, Austin
    • 15520 FM 529 Road, Houston
    • 9960 Old Katy Road, Houston
    • 290 Meyerland Plaza, Houston
    • 1219 North Fry Road, Katy
    • 6351 E. Highway 191, Odessa
    • 500 N. Jackson Road, Pharr
    • 3142 Southeast Military Drive, Suite 126, San Antonio
    • 4127 N. Highway 75, Sherman
    While Texas will lose 18 locations, California will see the most Joann Fabric store closures, at 61 stores.
