Saloni Del Mobile 2014 - Day 2 our furniture adventure continues....





After a full day yesterday we ventured into the next hall to see some of our suppliers and friends.

Before meeting up with some of our lovely clients we spotted these lovely variety of stained side classic chairs combining the on trend bentwood look with this season funky RAL colours of your choice.

The Blaze is produced in ash wood and features spindles that are shaped in the rear and clean cut to the front.  In addition to this classic version, this distinctive shape is available in a number of variations including natural, lacquered and partially lacquered wood finishes.

Not only does this chair look great, its very comfortable too.

Across the hall we were delighted to see the luxurious Cocoa range which is available in a choice of fabrics with a matching side and armchair.

Delphy 

The Delphy really oozes style and comfort.  A subtle design difference with fully upholstered arms or keep it simple with a wooden arm rest.  These designs are just perfect for hotel bedrooms, receptions, lounges or fine dining. Also available is a matching side chair.

Elen range of chairs
The Elen is a range of chairs that can be upholstered in a variety of colours with options two tone fabrics in this seasons colours or upholstered in COM (customers own material).

The Kyle has a natural twist on wooden classic side chair.  A must for coffee shops, bars and restaurants alike.

The Bertie armchair is a low tub seat which can be upholstered in COM.  Delightfully comfortable.  After a long day, we didn't want to get up.

DeFrae travel to Salone Del Mobile 2014 - Milan Design week 2014 Hall 10

Salone Del Mobile, for any that hasn't visited is a vast array of warehouse style block's of exhibition centre 142,000 sq metres of design.

The one thing that strikes you when entering is just how huge and diverse the fair is and we wouldn't recommend starting venturing around without carefully planning who you want see and where they are located.

We stated off by sitting down with our guide and a cup of sumptuous Italian coffee and some snacks.  We met a couple who had travelled from California and had no idea what they were looking for and asked our advice - we wished them good luck (they were going to need it). 




A day began in Hall 10 and our first visit was the stunning Pedrali stand.  Similar to last year the stand was made up some stunning craftsmanship and design.  Not many new products to be seen and finding an available rep was even harder.  This was our first glimpse of this years design theme, pastel shades with baby blue, pink, yellow's, greens and orange being on show throughout.
