92 SPRING 2019 Z on 3 is designed to be affordable to buyers who want style and performance but are not ready to invest in high-end pieces—couples downsizing into retirement homes, families outfitting a beach cottage, young cou- ples decorating their first condo. Couches are available for under $1,700, armchairs don't have to top $1,000, and end tables around $400 are plentiful. The upholstered pieces are all handmade at a family- run business in North Carolina. The other items are chosen with an eye to quality and sourced from within the United States whenever possible. The goal is to offer shoppers quality workmanship and a great value, a concept that has been integral to Zimman's from the start, Forster says. Zimman's was founded in 1909 as a department store selling everything from "pickled herring to lawn furniture," according to the retailer's website. Fabric has always been part of the offering—family lore has it that founder Morris Zimman once sold soggy muslin Custom built furniture is paired with with high performance fabrics. shop
