Antique Furniture Designs Limited is an English manufacturer of antique style furniture with distressed antique finishes.

Incorporated from A W Murfin & Sons in 2002, the business has been involved with the antiques trade for more than 30 years.

 In its early years the company restored original antique furniture, before moving into manufacturing fine furniture, using designs of original antique dining tables, desks and other traditional furniture that the business had overtime restored to its former glory.

Their workshop in Lincolnshire, England is equipped to allow flexibility in design and dimension, enabling the company to undertake bespoke work, in addition to a standard range of antique reproduction boardroom and dining tables, desks, TV cabinets and occasional furniture.

By using the very finest materials and craftsmanship and paying meticulous attention to detail the company has established an enviable reputation as a maker of fine furniture.

Pieces include traditional antique reproduction boardroom, dining tables and desks of the Georgian, Chippendale, Sheraton and Hepplewhite periods.

Breaking the mould of the mainstay quality furniture websites, a new interactive online showroom has been launched by Areaz, providing a great choice of high quality contemporary furniture from some of the world’s most respected manufacturers and designers.

The website has been designed to offer users a fully interactive experience and boasts a multitude of features that enhance the search and buy process.

“From the outset we decided to be stylishly different from the rest,” said Philip Wilding, Director at Areaz. “We took a considerable amount of time working on the many different aspects of the site, to ensure it provides the best online experience possible.”

The site has more than 30 brands and 100’s of designers from countries such as Italy, Germany and Denmark to name but a few.

The interactive portal is intuitive and allows users to select the furniture, see detail with the powerful zoom, view swatches of the available materials and colours and, for the space conscious, view a 3D schematic of the furniture with all measurements.

Featured here is the Bontempi Casa Barone Round Dining Table:

• The round-shaped Barone Dining Table is sleek, stylish and completely practical.

• With three top diameters: 120cm, 130cm, and 150cm. Height: 75cm. Retails from £1149.

Areaz is also encouraging interior designers to look at the site, which offers fantastic combined deals through a unique trade portal, where the site automatically adjusts pricing to reflect discounted prices easily ‘on the fly’.

“However, our service doesn’t end online. Our price match, free delivery, installation and removal of packaging service, means that the customer need do virtually nothing at all.” “Our website truly is a step change in the way modern furniture is presented and sold online,” concluded Philip Wilding.

Exclusive solutions have always enjoyed a high status at Loewe. This also applies to room integration for Loewe’s Home Cinema systems.

The Loewe Individual Rack, designed by Loewe, is the ideal partner for the Loewe product range – whether combined with a flat-screen television from the Art, Connect or Individual product lines, or one of the numerous system components:

For example, the various speakers, subwoofers or playback devices, such as the AudioVision audio system with integrated DVD player, or the BluTech Vision Interactive Blu-ray player.
The necessary cables can be optimally hidden in the Rack.

Following its successful presentation at the IFA 2009, the first two models are now being launched on the market.

Perfect room integration.

• The Individual Rack 110.30 stands out through its internal values.

• With a gentle push, the front cover opens up to unveil a high-quality drawer element, which stretches across the entire width of the rack.

• The lower section of the drawer makes room for archiving personal film or music collections, while the two upper shelves can house peripherals such as Loewe AudioVision and Loewe BluTech Vision Interactive.

• The best part is that the peripherals can be connected to the television set mounted on the rack, in such a way that all annoying cables remain hidden from view.

• The AudioVision system, the new Loewe Blu-ray player and the Loewe TV set in the system, can all be operated using just one remote control. With Digital Link HD-enabled televisions, this is even possible when the rack is closed.

• The best partners for the Individual Rack 110.30 (width 110 cm) are Loewe televisions from the Art and Connect lines in screen sizes of 32 to 42 inches.

Home Cinema convenience.

• The Individual Rack 165.30 offers even more convenience.

• Behind the front flap, which runs along the entire width of the rack (165 cm), there is space not only for Blu-Ray discs, DVDs and CDs, but also for various Loewe peripherals.

• The Rack is therefore ideally equipped for the integration of the Individual Sound Subwoofer, for example.

• In this way, together with the Loewe Audio system and the Loewe Blu-Ray player, the key playback and sound components in the Home Cinema system find an ideal home.

• They can also be operated when hidden from view, using just one remote control via the Digital Link HD-enabled Loewe television.

• Incidentally, the Loewe remote control can be stored elegantly behind the front flap, in the drawer lined with high-quality felt, making annoying searches for the remote control a thing of the past.

• The Individual Rack 165.30 is particularly suitable for Loewe Individual flat-screen sets with a screen diagonal of 32 to 46 inches.

Both Rack models, Individual Rack 110.30 and Individual Rack 165.30, with their minimalist design, are available from retailers now, in the following colour options: Chrome Silver, High Gloss Black and High Gloss White.
