The offerings will include youth bedrooms priced between $399 and $599 retail for bed, dresser and mirror combinations. The product is pine, and the company says it places an emphasis on design and finish.
One bedroom set, called Xs and Os, is a transitional group in a pink-and-white finish with X and O designs on the drawer fronts and headboards.
Stars and Clouds are two more urban-styled unisex collections with cloud and star designs on headboards and drawer pulls. The clouds are set against a light blue background on the headboard and drawer fronts, while the stars can be set against white or multi-colored drawer fronts.
The X-Men collection is a rustic boys group in a butterscotch finish.
All the youth groups include panel beds, captain’s beds and bunk beds. Bunk beds have a suggested retail of $499. A standalone bunk bed called the Vanderbilt is available in a dark cherry finish.
Master Design also is introducing the Breckenridge master bedroom, an American country-inspired transitional group that has a sleigh bed with handcarved elements. Priced at $1,299 retail, it comes in a tobacco and a burnished gold finish.

“It made a good fit for us,” Elmore said. “Brazil has proven styling and proven quality.”
The Brazilian sourcing is part of Master Design’s new global market supply-chain system. Along with sourcing in China and Brazil, the company is now getting bedroom from Vietnam and bedroom and casual dining sets from Malaysia. The company plans to have on-site warehousing at its source factories in these countries.
This market, Master Design will also delve into leather, home entertainment and a 45-piece accent program called Sensations. Until now, the company has been mainly known for its imported bedroom, dining room and occasional.
The company is showing in Plaza Suites, space 309, at the April market.
