This perfect reproduction of a Louis XIV Boulle commode is veneer with inlaid brass that is gold plated — the intricacy in the details surpasses the classic beauty of more contemporary furniture pieces. Originally built by Andre-Charles Boulle (1642-1732), the original commode was made as a pair for Louis XIV’s bedchamber at Trianon. As an architect, cabinet maker and bronze worker, Andre obtained the royal privilege of lodging and working in the Louvre. The commode you see is every bit as perfect as the original and is available now from Image de France.

Sit back and enjoy…
Space for serenity; an oasis of wellbeing; cushions that become homely landscapes … the upholstered furniture range Jalis (designed by Jehs + Laub for COR) is fabulously comfortable. The Stuttgart-based designers Jehs + Laub, who already acquired a permanent place in the COR collections in 2008 with the strict geometry of their Cuvert seating furniture range, have now developed a new world from the basic shape of the cushion, creating diversity from one form: Jalis, taken from the Arabic, is the magical word for relaxed communication; comfortable in any circumstances. Cushions are placed side by side — like stories told one after another. Special upholstery provides support and fabulous comfort. No less unusual than the concept itself is the new cover fabric Patio with wovenin ornaments, developed by the Rohi textile manufacturing company. Only becoming visible when the incidence of light changes, its patterns seem almost three-dimensional and resemble fine embroidery. Create oases of wellbeing: the upholstered furniture range is an all-round talent that can float, rest on pedestals, integrate or highlight tables, change levels and incorporate niches and floor recesses. No matter where it stands, its enclosed backrests and deep seats create a sense of security.

Australian-owned company Aneeta Windows is unique in that its simple standard two-pane unit is a vertically counterbalanced double-hung window where the top and bottom panes move concurrently. This provides for adjustable rotational/room ventilation. The windows have a two-lock opening position for increased security. Aneeta sashless windows, with their clean-lined design, unobtrusive views and easy-to-operate system, provide the lifestyle we all strive towards. Bring the outside in by using these windows and create an internal alfresco-style living atmosphere at an affordable cost.

Create a complete makeover that works in both traditionaland contemporary-style homes, in either timber or aluminium finishes.
