Rick Janecek and Shelia Butler are teaming up to launch Handley Drive, a new furniture company that will make its debut at the fall High Point Market.

Handley Drive will offer furniture, lighting and decorative accessories in styles ranging from traditional to modern and casual to elegant. Sales management group Codarus will represent the company in all U.S. markets.

“Shelia and I are thrilled to be partnering together to deliver a beautiful new home furnishings resource for designers and buyers nationwide and cannot wait to share the Handley Drive vision with everyone this fall at High Point,” Janecek said.

Janecek was most recently the creative director at Ambella Home, where he implemented new product designs, merchandising and marketing programs. Prior to that, he was the creative director and lead product designer for Global Views.

Butler was a former co-owner and COO of Aidan Gray Home. For the past six years, she has been consulting and sharing her expertise in manufacturing, systems, operations and logistics with notable companies in the home furnishings industry.
