Our Decorex Debut

 
We have had a fantastic debut at this years Decorex!  And felt very welcome by both visitors and our fellow exhibitors.  We would like to thank all those who visited our stand for the wonderful feedback we received on both Elementi and our new Simul Hallway Collection.



A big highlight for us was being selected by Simon Hamilton (International Director for the BIID) and Design Exchange Magazine as one of their favourites from Decorex! 


Here's what Simon had to say about our Simul Collection in particular:


 "This caught my attention as the artist combines metal and wood to produce unique but highly practical pieces for residential and commercial projects."

Our Stand at Decorex 2014



Here's a quick snap of our stand at Decorex. That's the Simul Hallway Collection in the foreground, just finished this week!  With our Elementi hiding a little at the other end of the stand. 

The Simul collection offers a clever solution to hallway storage. The bench beautifully nestles underneath the console and they meld together to form visually one unit. Separate them, in your hall and you have a console and a low bench which includes shoe storage and a higher end for putting a book or telephone on.

Contemporary with hints of art-deco and the use of solid copper, the Simul Collection follows on from Andrea’s earlier work such as Elementi and the Sequenza Credenza.
 

The drawer fronts are a solid three dimensionally patterned walnut laminated to a birch ply core, edged with solid copper (not sprayed). The body is Sapele, again applied to birch ply. The pale tones have been achieved through a specialist hand finish which also bring out the grain and gives the wood a almost distressed look. The unit is finished off with copper sheet detailing and brass hardware with the bench topped with high quality calf leather.

The mirror can be purchased with the console and bench duo. The materials linking it in and the antiqued mirror adding to the art-deco feel.
The Simul Collection is offered to our clients on a commission basis and therefore the wood tones and effects can be styled to fit with their existing decors.

City Financial Reception Desk and Awards Cabinet


Working closely with Interior Designer Tracy Hain of www.beauxideal.com Andrea Felice was task to design several key pieces of furniture for the City Financial Reception in London - The Reception desk, Awards Display Cabinet and an Umbrella Stand. It was important that the finishes worked in perfectly with the other designer pieces selected.  These pieces were all crafted by AF Designs in their London workshop.



The Reception Desk was crafted from Oak which had a specialist dark stain applied.  The desk was top with a high grade desktop Linoleum which was mitred at at 45% angle to wrap around the front.  The desk was detailed with a brass inlay which also wrapped around the front of the desk.


  
The Awards Cabinet (which was very hard to photograph) was designed to house the numbers awards that City Financial had received for their work.  It feature an integrated LED lighting system and bottom storage drawers.  The cabinet was detailed with brass inlays matching those of the desk, and hand crafted (by AFD) drawer handles.

Wetherby Gardens - Gloucester Road, London


This two story maisonette was completely 'gutted' and a full update and modernisation undertaken.  AF Designs provided all the furniture through out the house, including kitchen, lounge units, office, wardrobes, and stair handrails.

For this project we worked closely with Ann Boyd (Interior) Design and building company Edilco.
