Christmas formally arrives at 292

This festive set piece heralds the official arrival of the 2015 Christmas season at 292.  
I have long collected small ornamental houses.  The real estate on display were purchased at Citta Design and Bo Concept, with others received as gifts from friends.  In recognition of my Swedish heritage, I have chosen a Dala Horse of Sweden - this one was from Kikki K.  The glass star decorations and Seed LED lights are from Vanessa Cohen's superb Magnolia Trading Co in Wellington.  The tray is Country Road.  The classic AGEE Jar and white stones are from the collection of Judy Minty (mother) who kindly raided her extensive garden for the branch. 

This is the final resting spot for the festive arrangement, on top of our new sideboard. 

God Jul! (Merry Christmas in Swedish)

New Work - Living Room

Here's a hero shot from a project, that was completed earlier this year, where we furnished a living room for a family of four.
We started with a colourful kilim style rug from Armadillo and Co to anchor the new and existing furniture in front of a fireplace. For the new comfortable sofas, a neutral and children friendly fabric was chosen, which we enhanced with colourful feather filled loose cushions. To complete the picture, we introduced warmth with a timber Radial coffee table from Citta Design. Lovely.

Radial Collection from Citta Design

Recently I have been proposing (and ordering for my clients) a few pieces from the AW15 collection by Citta Design. As with every collection, the Citta team are inspired by an international city and this collection called Deco Deco was inspired by the city of Paris in the 1920's.
What has gained my attention the most is the Radial collection designed by contributing furniture and product designer, David Moreland. I especially like the coffee and side tables -  they are classic yet contemporary pieces with clean, simple lines; in essence all the elements that tick my boxes. Click over to Citta to see their latest catalogue, or for us Wellingtonians, we now have another lovely Citta store recently opened at 258 Thorndon Quay to enjoy.

The Winter 2014 collection has been inspired by the city, Copenhagen and after looking through their catalogue,  there are some great Scandinavian inspired furniture pieces, among many other gorgeous home-wares, to get your home cosy for this winter.
