Design Clinic 22 - Ultra Modern Statement Pieces and Understanding Georgian Style
I want a statement chair for my living room. My flat is ultra modern and I’m desperate for something that I won’t see anyone else with! What do you suggest?
Paul Davies, Hove
Nick says: ‘Well Paul, it all depends on your budget! But I have a few suggestions that we can get hold of for you. If you are after a design classic I would suggest our excellent reproductions of the Eames chair (£799), Corbusier Recliner (£649) or Arne Jacobsen’s Ball Chair (£799). We also have hi-backed Potenza Chairs starting at £399. For something really original though I would suggest one of my favourite pieces in the Church Road, Hove store – our Mars Armchair in antique leather with chrome frame (pictured). Starting at £850 they are not cheap but you are sure to be one of the very few who owns such a magnificent chair!!
I’m redecorating my bedroom and want to go for a look sympathetic to my homes Georgian history. What style of furniture should I go for?
Anna James, Brighton
Emma says: ‘Brighton emerged as a Georgian seaside resort during the key period of British resort development, between about 1730 and 1780. You are very lucky to own a piece of Brighton history! Like the architecture of the time, furniture had a very elegant, classic structure. We sell a beautiful reproduction range in bright, airy white. The range is hand finished with traditional construction and use of solid timber – resulting in an exceptional range of fine quality bedroom furniture. Prices start from £75 and the range is available to order from both our Bond Street and Church Road branches.’
