Fluxus in Rome
 


 

Last 2nd of December in Rome, has been opened the White Gallery, an impressive lifestyle store dedicated to Fashion, Food, Design, Art and Fragrances. To decorate it Andromeda has created the Fluxus: a wavering Murano glass sculpture.

Fluxus is a suspended and apparently fluid surface, a fabric of glass consisting of a multitude of elements able to generate a new aesthetic expression of motion in space. Fluxus is the result of the cooperation between Artist Michela Vianello, whose inspiration gave concrete shape to the overall concept of the sculpture, and designer Karim Rashid, who designed the individual glass element, the Knit.

Fluxus covers a surface area of 60 square meters, using 80'000 handmade Knit, in 5 colors; the lighting is provided by 5000 punctiform halogen lamps distributed in a network across the internal surface of the wave. Fluxus is a concept developed by Andromeda International.

PACIFIC GREEN 2010-06-11 06:09:39

 2009 was a solid year for Pacific Green. Our ranges of home

furniture and building products continued to be popular (despite the ups and downs
of world economies) and our core product, Palmwood®, extended its global reach:
customised restaurant chairs in the USA and Russia; major architectural screens
and doors in Abu Dhabi; office setups in Southeast Asia; flooring in Dubai; resorts in
the Caribbean….and shortly you will see Palmwood® combined with stainless steel
for an exclusive range of outdoor furniture. To see this widening market penetration
is a tribute to the beauty and functionality of Palmwood®. It also highlights the
conscious decision by consumers to choose environmentally-sustainable products
over rainforest products.
2010 in our opinion will be a difficult year; a watershed for our industry and our
planet. For 20 years Pacific Green Industries (PGI) has been at the forefront of
responsible furniture manufacturing with the policing and rejection of materials that
do not reach ethical and environmental standards. We avoid chemicals and
hazardous materials in all our processes. We use natural products including latex
rubber, brass, feathers, hides, steel, and Palmwood®. At the other extreme, rather
than downsizing through automation, we encourage employment and the
development of traditional handcrafting skills by designing products with the highest
possible human input. Two things will change our world – productivity by the
individual and purchasing from within the ecological square.
Fijian Ecological park (Starting 2010)
The environmental credentials of our Palmwood® Industry will be demonstrated with
the construction of the Ecological Park in Fiji. This project is about creating an
educational experience for tourists to learn about the ‘Tree of Life’ (as the coconut
palm is known throughout the Pacific). They will follow the journey of the tree and
discover the valuable contribution it makes to the world through its many
applications. Visitors will also see how Pacific Green transforms the discarded
plantation stems into Palmwood® furniture and architectural products for global
markets. The objective of the Park is to extol the virtues of the Pacific Green
operation and give visitors the chance to see a working example of a modern and
world-leading Pacific Islands company.
.
The Verité
This is one of our new products, The Verité. It is a big, bold piece 100% handmade,
using all natural materials, including bronze, feathers, Palmwood®, cotton, iron and
wool. The cover is a naturally tanned nubuck hide. It has integrity and is a
generational heirloom.
Exhibitions
Pacific Green has again been invited to exhibit at international exhibitions during
2010. So far we have been to Birmingham and Las Vegas. Next up is Singapore
(March 9-12); then Guangzhou (March 18-21); and Abu Dhabi (March 29-31). These
exhibitions are the meeting places of the furniture world. Buyers and sellers;
designers and suppliers. All looking for an ‘edge’ that will appeal to their consumers.
The Las Vegas Market at the start of February was noticeably better than the
previous one in 2009. Our brand recognition was strong. We hope the positive signs
we saw translate to a wider recovery in the American market.

2010 Modern Furniture Trends 2010-06-30 09:08:53

If you’re shopping for modern and contemporary furniture this summer, keep an eye on these hot furniture trends:

Eco-friendly furniture

The news regarding climate change has had a strong influence on many people, including furniture designers, and reminded all of us of the importance of protecting the environment. These same people have started making environmentally-conscious choices when furnishing their homes or offices. This modern eco-friendly movement has inspired such a large number of innovative designers to use sustainable materials and methods in their designs.

Don’t think that eco-friendly furniture is not well designed or cheaper than normal furniture. The green furniture pieces carried by Furniture by Duval all feature not only sustainable materials, but also unique design and high-end construction.

Modular furniture and multifunctional furniture

Due to the shrinking of our living areas, the demand of multifunctional and modular furniture has been increasing. Furniture now tends to come in smaller sizes and must be more flexible to customize for certain occasions or for the living space. While sofa beds are not new, they have become even more popular recently. It’s just so convenient to have one when you have a small apartment and you often have friends stay over. Or for another example, look at the wall unit where you have all-in-one: a TV solution, a book shelf and a glass cabinet!

Bright colors

When you think about summer, you think about sunshine and bright colors. Don’t think these kinds of colors are just for children’s rooms. You can also use these colors for your bedroom or living room. Using bright colors for your interior furniture is a way to bring the summer breeze into your home. Specifically, choosing one bright accent piece such as a bed, ottoman, or a wardrobe could become a fresh touch for a neutral color room. This summer, bright colors such as pink, yellow and green make a comeback.

Furniture by Duval carries the latest in modern furniture, European furniture, and eco friendly, sustainable furniture. To learn more about modern furniture trends, visit us at our Manhattan showroom located at 11 Fulton St. in New York City.
