Keeping Our Options Open

When is a sofa not a sofa?  When it’s art. I believe one of the most fun parts of a design project is making the upholstery take on a life of its own…the part when the products go from being just stuff to being functional works of art.  Our design consultants are so talented.  It is amazing [...]

Lustful Living Rooms

I spent last Tuesday morning sipping a Peppermint Mocha at the local Barnes and Noble browsing design magazines.
