" A DIFFERENT KIND OF DESIGN"

by Paul Mattson
(Reno , Nevada U.S.A.)

So, I'm at my day job(on my day off !)attending a color and style conference. It was a good presentation of 2011 colors (Pinks, Purples, Greys, Greens and more - nothing really new .

But, on the style portion - a chair flipped across and I loved it ! It was in a Victorian style - trim, somewhat ornate - jewel tone colors on the fabric seat. But the back and sides(arms) were of a hammered metal with studs.

Its like the industrial revolution met Louie the 14th.

Needless to say - I zoned out and got right into my first love - designing- and this is the first time its been shown in public.

It is our first attempt with the hammered metal look !

Please let us know what you think ...
