Mission
We are passionate about what we do, what we believe, and who we are. Our
business mission is simple, to make great home accessories at a reasonable
price. This has been our objective from the day we started 36 years ago.
Culture
The Uttermost culture is founded on the concept of partners in business. From
the Designer who envisions and creates the new idea to the craftsman in the
factory who transforms that idea into a finished product, to the Retailer who
selects and merchandises that new item, we’re all dependent on each other.
Our outlook is one of mutual respect for all of our partners in business.
Our Products
Uttermost offers one of the most broad and most current product lines in the
world. Our line includes accent furniture, decorative mirrors, alternative wall,
art, clocks, lamps, lighting fixtures, botanicals, and accessories.
Recently added to our line is the best selling products from Austin
Reproductions as well as the entire Timeworks line of clocks.
While we focus every day on developing the latest designs, we know that good
design means nothing without quality manufacturing. You can be certain that on
Uttermost products, no shortcuts are taken in manufacturing to make sure our
products exceed expectations.
Grace Feyock has designed home décor products for over three decades. Grace
began her career as a fine art watercolorist, where she developed a unique and
recognizable style. Using this and her other artistic talents, her artwork grew
into a successful framed art business in 1982.
As a former co-owner of Robert Grace,
Inc., she was known for her prolific new designs introduced semi-annually. Grace
produced thousands of original designs combining traditional looks with unique
and complex mat treatments. In addition, Grace introduced the concept of unusual
materials within artwork, such as leather, wood, and metals. Robert Grace
enjoyed fast growth based on Grace’s product designs, ultimately selling most of
the major home décor retailers in the U.S., as well as many international
clients.
Grace's designs, through Uttermost, can
be found all over the world, and in many different forms. She designs art,
mirrors, accent furniture, accessories, and lighting. Her work continues to be
in high demand and specifically requested by the top retailers in the industry.
Grace and Uttermost have enjoyed an
exclusive business relationship for many years, and have experienced strong
growth together. Grace does much of her design work overseas, teaching and
educating the factories on new finishing techniques, new materials, and new
construction methods. Her career success is built on her truly unique product
designs that follow her own sense of style and flair.
