LIVING SPACE WALLS
Wall panelling could be the perfect solution for those looking for something different to characterise an interior, away from paint or wallpaper. The Rimadesio Modular system is designed to fully integrate into a property, adjusting for changes in ceiling height, steps and doorways.
The floor-to-ceiling panels can be finished in various materials, from warm wood veneers and decorative ceramics to tactile leather or luxurious fabrics. Shelving, floating desks, ambient lighting and even hidden pocket doors can be seamlessly combined to create a room that is the ultimate in modern design and personal taste.
LIGHTING
An investment in high-quality pieces of interior or exterior decorative lighting is rarely a bad decision, whether you are looking to illuminate a late evening gathering in the garden or create a focal point over the dining table.
Brokis, a lighting manufacturer using traditional hand-blown glass production methods, creates various pieces that look stunning when switched on or off. The unusual Macaron table lamps and bulbous Balloons or the stylish Knot collection and decorative Night Birds pendants are perfect for creating a warm and inviting ambience.
The newly released Sfera Portable is a light designed for use indoors and out, thanks to its rechargeable battery. Upon a poured concrete base sits a delicate handblown sphere of glass, surrounded by a stainless-steel loop that acts as a handle.
FURNITURE
New pieces of furniture can be the perfect addition to refresh a kitchen/dining space, adding a pop of colour, texture, or pattern. A casual seating arrangement around an island can be achieved with barstools, creating a place to gather and chat whilst cooking dinner. In a dining room setting, iconic furniture, such as the ‘Elbow Chair’ designed by Hans. J. Wegner in 1956 for Carl Hansen & Son, perfectly complements any contemporary interior style.
