Delray Beach, Fla., November 12, 2003 – Office Depot, (NYSE: ODP), one of the world’s largest
resellers of office products, and Emmy Award-winning designer/author/TV personality Christopher
Lowell today introduced the Christopher Lowell Collection, the first pre-coordinated office furniture and
accessories system designed to make decorating any home office or business a breeze.
The partnership marks the first time a major office supply retailer has exclusively teamed up with a
well-known designer to develop a fashionable and functional furniture and accessories line for the way
people want to work and live.
The new line will be sold exclusively through Office Depot retail stores nationwide as well as through
Office Depot’s catalogs and e-commerce site at www.officedepot.com/christopherlowell.
“Office Depot and Christopher Lowell are redefining the way customers shop for office furniture,”
noted Jocelyn Carter-Miller, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer for Office Depot.
“Small business and home office shoppers now have access to high-quality, stylish furniture and pre-
coordinated, mix-and-match accessories that are not only functional but affordable. The new products
provide a professional image -- and because everything goes with everything else, decorating is no
longer a challenge.”
From desks, credenzas and chairs to accessories, lamps, clocks and even plants, the new collection
is based on four distinct yet complementary themes – Town, Country, City and Shore. All of the
pieces are interchangeable and have been designed to work with any look, lifestyle and budget.
