When Penny Eudy, Product Manager of Upholstery at La-Z-Boy, begins her inspiration journey for the next line of textiles and trends, she doesn’t start in an office or a fabric store, she travels the world.

Penny knows that inspiration can be found anywhere: your backyard, a beautiful work of art, the clothes you see when you are people watching… If you adopt a mindset of finding unique patterns and color combinations in unexpected places, you will see how everything comes together to create beauty anywhere and everywhere.

Spotting the latest trends in fashion and design is an exciting part of Penny’s job, but she also wants to give La-Z-Boy customers options so that they can put together rooms that express their own view of the world. In-home designers enjoy the privilege of watching ideas come together that are inspired by the lives of the people they serve. Inspiration comes from the real passions and needs of people. This is what truly drives product design and textile selection at La-Z-Boy.
