Anna Garcia & Mary Lovett Beck Founders of Varnish Collection

Grit, grace and great design: get to know varnish collection

Design episodes are meant to introduce you to a unique design element, but often, they may reveal something even more inspiring along the way.

In this episode, you’ll meet two women whose journey is as much about creativity as it is about legacy. Anna Garcia and Mary Lovett Beck, the founders of Varnish Collection, are mothers and visionaries who are role modeling grit and grace—not only for their daughters, but for a generation of women in business.

Varnish Collection’s pieces offer a fresh perspective on traditional wicker furniture. Every piece is hand crafted by artisan partners to create one of a kind classic designs. From game tables to lighting and sofas to champagne stands, the Varnish Collection brings personality to the room that is unique and its own.

Varnish Collection has been celebrated in Luxe Interiors + Design, Veranda, The Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Designer Showhouse, and Kips Bay Showhouse in  NYC. You’ll also find their collection in top design destinations like Mecox Gardens and Hive in Palm Beach. 

Join us as we explore how their love of family and thoughtful craftsmanship helped shape a brand designed for beautiful, meaningful, everyday moments.



IN THIS EPISODE, ANNE, Anna & mary lovett discuss:

  • The story behind Varnish Collection and its vision for reinventing wicker

  • A look at the founders’ favorite pieces—and the craftsmanship behind the them

  • How their pieces are intended for storytelling, tradition, and bringing personality to a room.
