DeFrae vs The Big Chill House: The 2013 remix

DeFrae have been working with the uber cool Big Chill bars since 2011.  Its great to work with such a great team and big thanks to Lucy Tauber and all the guys at Big Chill Kings Cross.

The X-chair and Paris side chairs dominate the bar areas making this feel like a bar to welcome London's trend setters and night life lovers.



The X-Chair looks great with a green shell and anthracite X marked in the centre of the chair.  One of our personal favourites from the Milan Furniture Fair 2012.  The name comes from the distinctive sign on the polypropylene shell. The X is not only striking but is extremely versatile with several kinds of frames available in different finishes.  



The X Chair is available in a range of colours including yellow, white, green, beige and grey.  The X Chair is also stackable making it perfect for clearing away for evening revellers.
The X is also available with a matching barstool.



Working delightfully in contrast to the X Chair is the Paris in a mixture of baby blue, yellow, lime green and black.  The Paris is a retro-looking side chair - great for funky bars, restaurants and hotels. This item is held in stock for immediate delivery and is also available in a black finish.


The Big Chill House is a large Victorian Pub in the heart of London's King's Cross. Its recent restyling has left the locals and travellers gawping through its huge windows, in complete surprise! The team behind the Big Chill brand have set to work and created a super cool space for everyone to enjoy and one where you can celebrate The Big Chill festival spirit, all year round!

Hotel Bellevue, Davos Wiesen, Switzerland



DeFrae are extremely proud to have worked with Hotel Bellevue, Davos Wiesen, Switzerland on their refurbishment of 21 No. bedrooms.
Headboards, Beds, Side Tables hand crafted by DeFrae
DeFrae’s craftsmen in the UK created bespoke vanity units, wardrobes, desks, desk stools, bed frames and bedside tables to each room’s unique design specification.


Desks, Wardrobe's and Drawers handmade in the UK by DeFrae's bespoke craftsmen
Desks and Stools hand made in the UK by DeFrae's craftsmen
Vanity Units hand made by DeFrae in the UK.


To add to the glamour and sophistication of each room, upholstered items included the wonderful headboards, matching bolster cushions and the stylish and classic Belle Armchair.


Headboards, Scatter Cushions and Side Tables from DeFrae.
The complete boutique look including Belle Armchair.

The Belle Armchair is a gorgeous and stylish addition to any commercial environment. The popular medallion back and the luxurious arms and seat, ensure comfort as well as style. The Belle is the perfect armchair for hotels and restaurants alike.

Working with interior designers all items were produced to the Client’s exact drawings demonstrating DeFrae’s expertise in the Hotel industry to create this boutique hotel’s inspirational feel.

"Having used Danni to supply seating previously, I set her a new challenge – a 22 bedroom hotel – in Switzerland – on very tight timescales. I designed the entire range of bespoke furniture, and approved a wood sample - Danni made sure the rest just happened! As agreed – on time, on budget, and exceeding quality expectations – all the furniture made it to the hotel and my client was extremely pleased with the result. The moral of this short story – don’t assume Danni can only provide what you see on her website – it appears that anything is possible. Her enthusiasm and ‘can do’ attitude will serve her well – and I will most definitely be using Defrae again, and again." - Louise Coombs, Head of Interior Design

"We would like to say a big thank you to the team at Defrae and especially Danni Pushkin.  Phase one of the hotel renovation entailed the hotel being closed for a very short period of twelve weeks.  Opening on time was imperative, Danni ensured that the furniture was manufactured and delivered on time to Switzerland.  The quality of the furniture is outstanding and looks fabulous in the hotel.  Danni was calm and extremely efficient during what was a manic period and overcame any situation we threw at her!  Phase two starts in April 2013 and we look forward to working with Defrae for this project also." Tanya Willmott, Hotel Bellevue Wiesen AG, Switzerland

If you are looking to go Skiing this winter, have a look at the gorgeous resort of Davos Weisen and ensure you stay at the lovely Hotel Bellevue.
