Leading designs in James Bond have been featured throughout the years and QUANTUM OF SOLACE is no different, the distinctive and iconic Silver chair range can be seen on the set of the new sleek MI6 headquarters.

The unique and eye-catching Silver range of chairs and furniture has won a plethora of design awards for seating maestro’s Interstuhl. Designed by the renowned Hadi Teherani the Silver chair range seems to be making it big on the silver screen having already appeared in three other blockbusters. As Martin Long, Managing Director of Interstuhl Ltd explains “The Silver range is beautifully distinctive, exuding opulence and character, and we’ve been fortunate that this appeals to set and interior designers. Having it feature in the latest James Bond film is a great compliment.”

New Collection!! - Wall Units and Storage Solutions by Mercury - Designed and Manufactured in Italy.

April 04, 2007

We are excited to introduce "Domino", an Italian collection of contemporary wall units and storage cabinets by Mercury. Designed and manufactured in Italy, the Domino collection is born from a design in which formal, color, and material features are mixed so that the furniture looks "timeless" - easy to understand, elegant yet sophisticated. The shapes are distinguished by soft lines generating slightly curved volumes that interact with discreetly straight ones to create a balanced combination of symmetric lines offset by full and empty spaces. The study of color and the choice of materials set off the sturdy features of this furniture. White combined with translucent glass gives a vaguely velvety feel and sets off the clean-cut shapes while the color in itself represents eternity, youth, elegance, and peace. On the opposite spectrum black, combined with polished glass, exalts its meaning of elegance, mystery, refinement and high-end luxury. In itself, this color means austerity and strictness and demands respect. We hope you enjoy the Domino collection as much as we do. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

New contemporary table lamps from Germany

October 21, 2006

House of European Design is excited to present two beautifully designed lamps, new from ANTA. LU The LU table lamp by ANTA compliments any space through its elegant organic form and ambient glow. The globe-like diffuser is beautifully designed in white mouth-blown glass, with an external etched finish to give a soft, radiant glow. LU’s glass shade is fully adjustable and can be rotated giving the lamp infinite poses from horizontal to vertical. Complete with an external dimmer, LU gives you the control to create a warm ambience by softly illuminating the space around it. BELLE Modern elegance. With its swan like neck, Belle gracefully illuminates through a dramatic interplay of light and form. Its sleek design is heightened by the fusion of white porcelain and slightly matted aluminum.
