Are you a designer? Maybe know someone who is? We’re inviting you to design a new line for our home department!
In partnership with Red Clay, a collaborative design studio, we introduce the Dillard’s Farm to Table project. We are looking for your best designs for tabletop submitted for the potential to be sold in-store next spring.

From Farm to Table: What does this mean to you?
Here’s how it works:
1) You submit design work
2) You and other Dillard’s guests will critique, curate and ultimately select the final designs (Stay tuned! This process begins in August)
3) We will produce and sell the final designs, paying the winning designers an up-front earning along with
royalties
Here are the design categories, along with the wood block sizes each piece will be made from. Please note, the size of the block of wood is included so you can scale your design submission properly.
