Neoclassic, and comfy enough for three.

Wood & Rattan Bench

The high arms make this masculine bench perfect for lounging lengthwise with the morning paper & latte,  or better yet, gazing out the window…

Logbench

The boldness of the lines and girth are juxtaposed by the warmth of the natural wood and the beauty of natural grain.  You can feel the waves lapping and the warm sand on you feet…

Reclining Furniture with Style!

Friday, January 1st, 2010

Arctic Blue | Bean Bag

In principle the Sitting Bull looks like a standard beanbag chair, but when reviewed closely it´s really much more than that! Due to its unique design it can be formed and shaped, at your discretion, for optimal sitting comfort. Its filling is made out of specially produced EPS beads that are extremely durable and higher in quality, and not out of standard shredded Styrofoam waste like most low quality beanbags.

The Bull

Additionally, to Sitting Bull´s advantage, the cover material´s surface is made of sturdy, high quality Polyester that can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth. But Sitting Bull´s real test in quality is when you finally sit in it, and only then you shall know that there is absolutely no comparison!

Mini Fashion Bull

Fabric is made of 100% polyester, is water resistant and breathable. Filling is made of extra small EPS-beads (polystyrene foamed beads) of the best available quality. Yarn material is made of 100% nylon thread with triple stitching, non-aging, UV-resistant, extra strong and tear proof. The cover fabric was tested by an external laboratory and received a top quality assessment.

The Bull

Closure: Velcro 4 inches (10 cm) wide and zipper – extra strong and childproof, Cover is easily cleaned with cold water and soap. For indoor and outdoor use, but should be stored inside (not for permanent outdoor use or storage). May be used as a chair, mat, or small mattress.

Classic Antique Reproductions by French Heritage

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

French Heritage

A La Provencale Dining Room.jpg

Though French Heritage is only twenty years old, the roots of the company began years before, as part of a family passion for antiques. When co-founder Jacques Wayser was a child in France, he and his siblings would follow their parents on their weekly visits to the Paris antique market. There, the Wayser family learned how to shop for and collect antiques.

Chateau Lodge Room Shot.jpg

The first collection introduced by the company was Richelieu, in 1984. Richelieu was a breakthrough in the furniture industry. Not only were the pieces elegantly crafted using mortise and tenon joints, dovetailed drawers and pegs instead of nails; for the first time the furniture was distressed to look like genuine antiques. It was an innovation that changed the way antique reproductions looked forever.

De Bournais Commodo.jpg

In the 1990’s French Heritage saw great expansion. In 1993, the company debuted the popular Maison Provence collection, a grouping of antique French country designs. The next year, they introduced their high-end collection, De Bournais, beautifully handcrafted pieces with beeswax finishes. The furniture seen on this page are all from the De Bournais collection. This collection offers the most unique pieces which feature traditional lines while incorporating modern trends like zebra print, stripes and rich color painted wood finishes.

Dining ChairThe Dahlia Chair

The Dahlia chair is a Klismos styled chair, from Design Master, is delicate in scale. The comfortable curved back has an upholstered top cap that sits on top of two exposed wood back posts. A concave shaped ‘X’ is in the center of the exposed wood back posts. The upholstered seat is rounded on the back and has a thinner appearance than our other dining chairs. The splayed front legs are thin and graceful. The arm on the Dahlia chair, again featuring the classic ‘X’ element, appears to float at the side of the seat. An upholstered top cap completes the look and adds an element of comfort.


Eye on Furniture: Stools

Martini Stool

The Martini stool from Armen Art Furniture is a stylish piece for any home. The espresso finished wood and the red leather are a great combination. The most interesting thing about the stool is it’s back as well as its location to the seat. A fine example of modern luxury. I can see this piece in a lot of really fun locations including bars and kitchens.

Travel New Orleans for Furniture Ideas

New Orleans Furniture

New Orleans has gone through a lot of stress over the last couple of years but it remains a must visit U.S. city and these photos show why. The architecture and design in this 291 year old city brings it’s residents from the modern century to a time of European indulgence. Today the big easy maybe best be know for it’s hurricanes and  Mardi Gras but there is a sense of old worldliness that has me inspired to bring a french flare into my own Interior.

New Orleans Furniture

While staying in the French Quarter you have got to take a walk down every street, turn every corner and discover something new. Make sure to walk the French Market after you sip on a café au lait and nibble on fresh beignets from Cafe’ Du Monde. Walk the St. Louis Cathedral square at night and have your cards or palm read just for fun! But do make sure to stop in to the Cathedral and take in the great Architecture which New Orleans was built around.

New Orleans Furniture

The best part of New Orleans are the courtyards and gardens. These outdoor spaces, as well as the Lobby’s and den’s of the Boutique French Quarter Hotels are where I find my Interior inspiration. Bringing the gardens into your space via small accessories like the finial shown below and other decorative accents is a great start. The nice thing about New Orleans is the amount of original art that can be bought on the street from the artist and you can usually talk them into a good price.

New Orleans Furniture New Orleans Furniture

Clockwise from top left: Accessories by Sherwood IncArteriors - Aidan Gray

To really make an impact you must include a chandelier, like the one show above, in your interior. This will bring your company and you into the lounges and parlor rooms of so many great New Orleans destinations. Also by adding a frech country inspired chair or chaise you are adding style and sophistication to your space. My favorite thing to do is play off the furniture style by placing the piece in a modern space or next to a modern side table. This will bring more focus to the piece as art not just a comfy place to sit.

So when you are planning your next trip out of town remember to consider an inspiring location like New Orleans and don’t forget to take pictures of all the historical interiors and the furnishings so you can incorporate something like them in your home. And don’t forget to start your Online Search here!

Maria Yee, Inc

To truly appreciate a Maria Yee piece, one must understand the person behind it. Her personal experiences shape everything from the furniture’s design concept to its creation. Maria’s passion, struggles and triumphs imbue each piece with a vitality and intensity that speak volumes without saying a word. A child of China’s Cultural Revolution, Maria witnessed first hand the havoc wreaked by the fanatic anti-intellectual radicals. At age 15, she was sent to work in a rock quarry and her parents were imprisoned. Inquisitive but quiet, she enjoyed riding her bicycle and swimming in the Pearl River. While her childhood dream was to be a physicist, her father, a professor of architecture, sparked her early interest in design. When the Cultural Revolution began in 1966, the radicals imprisoned her father and later sent him to a tea farm. Her mother, a school teacher, was placed under house arrest in the elementary school where she taught. She was later sent to work at a pig farm. Maria was taken from her family and forced to work in the rock quarry. Only 15 years old, the quiet girl’s creative spirit was cruelly snuffed out. In its place, only the spirit to survive remained.

The artistic merit of Maria Yee’s furniture goes beyond beautiful lines and elegant shapes. Every item is handcrafted with sophisticated joinery techniques, handed down through the ages and refined for a modern manufacturing environment, with no nails or screws marring the integrity of the raw materials. This makes every piece unique and personal. To create her solid bamboo furnishings, Maria Yee further developed her BreathingJoinery™ specifically for BambooTimbre™. By handcrafting the pieces in pure joinery without nails or screws, hazards such as warping, cracking, splitting, shrinking and rattling associated with traditional bamboo furniture are eliminated.

Keeping with her commitment to offering new, unique options in home furnishings, Maria Yee developed her Air Frame™ and BEST™ joinery techniques to create exceptionally strong solid bamboo pieces that boast a clean, contemporary look. Maria Yee pioneered EcoLuxury™ – luxury that is ecologically responsible. We abide by our core belief that if we take from the earth, we should give back to the earth. Maria Yee respects Earth’s natural resources and is sensitive to its dwindling reserves. Select products are handcrafted with 100 percent Forest Stewardship Council-certified hardwood, and other pieces use only hardwood species which are responsibly grown and selectively harvested. As an alternative to fast disapearing hardwood, Maria Yee developed rapidly renewable BambooTimbre™ and RidgeBamboo™.

The company is dedicated to protecting the earth by innovating green manufacturing processes and adheres to strict recycling principles. Furthermore, energy conservation is a top priority in both the production and design.

Sustainably Grown Furniture by Shima Woodcraft

Shima Furniture is a brain-child of Hans Morsbach’s first love, forestry. The wealth of trees and the beauty of his 450 acre farm in Cazenovia, Wisconsin inspired Morsbach to share this beauty with other folks. He set out to manufacture furniture made from his trees for people to enjoy. Hans Morsbach is also the author of a most widely read book about forestry called Common Sense Forestry.

While oak, ash and walnut are the most commonly used woods in their designs, Shima use’s about 20 other species. Their trees are harvested in an environmentally conscious and sustainable way. All wood is harvested on U.S. land, they never use rain forest wood.

Many of the furniture designs are conceived by Shima’s Amish neighbors. Their religion discourages commercial enterprise and recognition, gratitude and accolades of their creations. Nevertheless, Shima has honored the Amish with the name of their company (try spelling “Shima” backwards). They would like to give more credit to the Amish craftsmen, however, with all due respect, their good Lord won’t let them. Just the same, they would be delighted to talk with you if you choose to visit Shima in Wisconsin.

Laser technology enables Shima to produce precise and lasting inlays. Much of their furniture is adorned with a floral design which they adapted from a traditional Amish quilt. Laser technology enables them to make inlays from any design suggested by customers, which is a great custom option for those who want to put their own artistic stamp on their Shima furniture.

When Hans Morsbach became interested in cultivating trees and managing small woodlands, he searched for a good how-to manual. He never found one, so he decided to write his own. Based on his subsequent experience, combining deep research into the academic literature on forestry with his successes and failures as a small-scale commercial tree farmer, the result is Common Sense Forestry, an indispensable reference for anyone who owns or wants to own wooded property.

Morsbach is an unabashed nature lover as well as a businessman, and well understands the essential importance of a long-term approach to sustainable forest management. In this highly readable and entertaining text, the author offers a comprehensive look at managing existing woodlands by creating, and later maintaining, forests that promote biodiversity while providing an income stream. This comprehensive examination of sustainable forestry includes everything from choosing land to beginning a forest through seeding and transplanting, from pruning and thinning to harvesting trees, from debates over herbicides and clear cutting to working with professional foresters, from business strategies to tax planning.

Refined Elegance as Defined by Aidan Gray

Sunday, June 21st, 2009

Sometimes I find myself asking the question, where would we be without America’s favorite talk show host, Oprah Winfrey? Well for Randal Weeks and partners at Aidan Gray, they’d probably still be working in health care or at a large corporation. Inspired by an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show, Randal pushed to act on his dream and build something that he could be passionate about. “You will never be happy if you are not passionate about what you do,” Oprah said, a motto that took Randal a long time to uncover, but one that he lives by daily. This small but meaningful quote brought about the creation of Aidan Gray and continues to help the company create furniture pieces that feel and look like one of a kind antiques.

The Aidan Gray line represents a love for interiors, design and authentic products that exude “European Grandeur.” The line reaches all aspects of the interior. From furniture and chandeliers to candle sticks and mirrors. Aidan gray also offers beautiful garden accessories that will turn even the most modest of green spaces into a french country garden. Everything in the line is based on the partners desire for products made by hand. All of the pieces are designed and made with authentic materials such as solid wood, rustic metals, antique mirror, old painted finishes and silk appointments. This is how Aidan Gray received it’s name as being a go to furniture house for architecturally accurate home décor.

Inspired by classic french design the Annabel Club Chair, seen above, is constructed from European Oak. Each frame is carved and then burnished to a rustic patina. Seat cushion in hand tied springs which delivers a firmer seat lasting much longer than your basic stuffing. Each loose cushion is made of foam wrapped in down then set into a pocket before covering. All of Aidan Gray’s pieces have been rigorously designed and built to be heirloom pieces and should be treated as such.
