The New Truss Line from TRNK is the Modern Furniture Your Home Needs

By Kelsey Machado Published June 22, 2017

Since 2014, TRNK has been bringing us carefully sourced home furnishings from designers around the world. Now TRNK is dipping their toes into the furniture design waters, and creating a collection of their own. The new TRNK Truss Collection is a contemporary update on iconic designs of the past.

The staple of any living room is the seating, and TRNK’s Truss line is trendy and timeless, elegant and welcoming. These are investment pieces that you can build a room around, allowing you to easily update the look of your space simply by changing out the surrounding decor. Thoughtfully designed, the Truss line was created with the modern home in mind: it is a line that is durable, stylish, and comfortable.

While their extensive collection of home decor products sourced from around the world is what put TRNK on the map, the Truss line is something altogether new. A passion project for co-founders and designers Tariq Dixon and Nick Nemechek, the collection is made right here in America. Inspired by the classic home furnishings they already offer, the duo developed four seating pieces that fit perfectly with every home decor style, from the contemporary to the minimalist to the urban industrial. Their main goal for the Truss line was to create pieces that are elegant yet practical and their extensive knowledge of furniture and customer needs allowed them to do just that.

Style wasn’t the only concern when developing their new line. Tariq and Nick invested countless hours into making sure the pieces are as comfortable as they are stylish. Special high-resilience foam was used for the cushions, along with a tempered steel S-spring support system to ensure maximum durability and “loungey” comfort.

The Truss collection is made to order, allowing you to customize it to fit your home. You can choose from a variety of color options in fabric, aniline leather, or a fabric and leather combination, to create your own unique sofa, armchair, ottoman, or two-seater bench. Ranging in price from $1,150 to $4,400, each piece is handmade and ships in 6 – 8 weeks. As an added bonus, to celebrate the launch of their first collection, TRNK is offering free delivery on Truss orders placed before July 14th.

The first movie from Materialists director Celine Song just found a new streaming home

The movie is a brilliant look at the roads not taken.

The cast of Past Lives

Few directors have a debut feature that's as splashy as Celine Song's. The director, who now has Materialists in theaters, had a breakout hit at Sundance called Past Lives that took her all the way to the Oscars. Now that Materialists is in theaters and doing quite well, you might want to catch up with Past Lives, which was one of the best movies of 2023.

The film stars Greta Lee and is told in episodes that span more than 20 years. It starts in South Korea, and follows two Korean children who are clearly close friends and may even have a romantic spark as one of them prepares to move to Canada. Then, we follow their story over decades as they come into and out of each other's lives until they're both in their mid-30s and they reunite for a day in New York City.
