Broccato Papers is comprised of six delightful wallpapers, inspired by the Italian Renaissance period.

  • The collection includes a number of new colours, including the soft mauve Brassica and lead-toned grey Plummett.
  • Crivelli Rose in our picture is a classic brocade pattern, featuring extravagant plumes of oak tree and acorn motifs in majestic rosettes, linked by intricate wheat-inspired trellising.
  • Crivelli Trellis the corresponding design, is a simple and delicate wheat-detailed trellis.

Marmitek’s Wireless Sender For Your Surround Set

Sunday, September 11th, 2011

Marmitek’s Wireless Sender For Your Surround Set With a wired speaker surround sound set at home, it is often difficult to hide away the cables successfully, particularly the cables connected to the back speakers.

Sometimes there is a convenient skirting board where you can place the cable, if not loose cables lie around your living room floor.

However Marmitek has introduced the Surround Anywhere220:

  • A wireless, digital transmitter for your surround sound set, which enables you to easily wirelessly connect your back speakers to your surround amplifier.
  • During installation, you can set the volume balance to precisely the right level and, after that, you shouldn’t need to look at it again.
  • This product is unique because it can simply be connected to the speaker output on the surround amplifier; the back speakers then copy the volume of the amplifier.
  • The fact that the data is transmitted uncompressed and digitally means that the sound is better than CD quality and does not encounter any disruptions or delays.

So say goodbye to those unsightly loose cables and enjoy wireless surround sound from your surround set with the Marmitek Surround Anywhere220.

Available now priced at £109.95. Euro 119.95.

For more detailed information about the Marmitek Surround Anywhere220 speaker system, please visit the website.

The Orrefors By Karl Lagerfeld Crystal Collection

Friday, September 9th, 2011

The Orrefors By Karl Lagerfeld Crystal Collection The Orrefors by Karl Lagerfeld collection – his first ever line of crystal, designed for the Swedish glass designer, will launch exclusively in Harrods on 15 September 2011, followed by Selfridges as well as independent retailers on 15 October 2011.

Knowing the artistic excellence of Orrefors to be comparable with the world of high fashion, Karl Lagerfeld designed a collection in his own image:

  • Clean-lined, subtle and functional. The first members of the Lagerfeld crystal family are champagne flutes and coupes and wine, water and liqueur glasses.
  • Transparent, black or milky white, sometimes engraved with the KL monogram, the series typifies the Karl Lagerfeld ethos of ultra-strict lines.
  • And in the spirit of the designer’s well-known practicality, the series also includes monogrammed coasters, to prevent any trace of an errant drop on an immaculate tablecloth.
  • Based on the same principle, the collection also features a large round bowl, a rectangular vase and a cylindrical vase, each poised on four crystal globes on transparent platforms.
  • With its simple colour scale, its purity of lines and shapes, the flow of the material and the refinement of the details, each crystal contour of the Karl Lagerfeld series reflects timeless elegance.

The Karl Lagerfeld collection of Orrefors crystal will also be available in gift boxes containing pairs of monogrammed champagne flutes and separately sold boxes of engraved coasters to place under them.Prices for the Orrefors by Karl Lagerfeld collection range from £65 to £1,000.

The Orrefors glassworks has been a Swedish institution for over a century, carrying on the age-old tradition of hand-blown glass shaped by master artisans.

With its exquisite engravings, streamlined forms and colours ranging from delicate to rich, the Orrefors brand is one of the great symbols of Swedish design and luxury. It is a world-wide brand, gracing the finest tables such as the Swedish Royal Palace.

Contemporary Clocks from British Designer Charlie Turner

Wednesday, September 7th, 2011

Contemporary Clocks from British Designer Charlie Turner The studio and workshop of British clock designer Charlie Turner, is located a few miles from the coast on the Cornish Moors.

Long-case or grandfather clocks usually conjure up images of large and impressive pieces of furniture made from dark woods, like those seen in many grand country houses or old school libraries.

However, Charlie Turner designer, sculpture, artist and horologist is breaking the mould when it comes to clock design. Each of his unique and eye-catching clocks is designed and made by hand in Cornwall.

His exciting new approach to furniture design has led to the launch of his own collection of contemporary grandfather clocks:

  • Made from natural timbers and designed to reflect minimal and contemporary lifestyles, his designs are thoroughly modern.
  • Although Charlie’s sculptural clocks appear simplistic in style, the quality of the technology incorporated within the designs is every bit as intricate and precise as classic timepieces.
  • Featured here is the Helix Contemporary Clock – this ultra modern design is his latest creation. Priced at: £4550.00.

Charlie Turner explains “I get inspiration from all around me, the sea, the coast, the Cornish landscape. I am always on the lookout for materials, colours and shapes that would never be associated with clocks, from the rocks, driftwood and the amazing range of colours in the sea”.

The process of creating a new contemporary clock design is a long and meticulous process and Charlie has spent several years perfecting his collection prior to its launch.

This month Charlie Turner will be presenting his collection of contemporary clocks with the launch of his own brand ‘Charlie Turner Designs’.

A new website showcasing the 2011 Collection of Charlie Turner Designs will be launched soon.
