He saw that with new architectures that new furniture was required to replace the traditional as the two no longer cohesively worked together. The Chaise Longue, 1928, was designed for complete comfort and versatility in mind. It can be reclined to any position or removed from its base and used like a rocking chair.

New Color Tips

If the room receives a lot of sunlight, select cool colors to balance the feel and with a room that doesn't receive much sunlight select a warm colour.
You can color match almost anything, take a sample of the item you want to match to your paint store and get them to analyse it, and they can sort out the corresponding paint.
Metallic paints add a different dimension to color, used with halogen lighting they add sparkle to a room.
