Custom Design Furniture For A Designer Lifestyle
When you first move into your new home you will rarely think about furnishing it with Custom Made furniture. Since many people are students when they first move out of their parents' homes, they either move into a residence or digs, which often come furnished. If they move into a place that requires furnishing, quality furniture usually isn't a priority. However, as one grows older and your tastes become more refined, the appeal of possessing and displaying custom design furniture grows. There are numerous reasons for opting for specially designed furniture, which shall be discussed further.
Often one sees a furniture item in a spectacular style with intricate carved detail, but the wood or finish does not appeal or will not fit in with the rest of your furnishings. By opting for a custom design, the intricate detail that you so adore can be replicated and you can select which type of wood you like the best and which finish you would prefer. This means that you not only have the design and style that you like, but also that your latest acquisition will look as though it belongs with the rest of your furnishings.
If your house or flat is an older building it may have various architectural features that require furniture items to be specially designed in order to fit into these spaces. Semi-circular windows, oddly shaped alcoves, annexes and other such features are difficult areas to fill as furniture designs are fairly standard. However, custom furniture design for items such as Side Tables or chests of drawers designed to the specific dimensions will not only fill up this unusual space, but fill it with a well made item that looks as though it belongs in that space.
You may be an avid collector of antique furniture and spent years scouring antique stores, vintage markets and jumble sales in the hopes of completing or expanding your collection. Or you may have a set of matching furniture, only for one of these items to become damaged. By using this item as a template, a new one can be fashioned to fit in with the rest of the set.
Custom design furniture may also become family heirloom pieces. While most girls used to have a trousseau in which their marriage linens and other such items were kept, this tradition has sadly fallen by the wayside. However, furniture items that have been in your family for years and then passed down to you are very special things, and these items are greatly treasured. Well Made Furniture items with intricate patterns, carvings, glasswork, etc can be worth a lot both financially and sentimentally. If the item has been custom designed, it can be worth even more as it will be a rare and unique piece and will probably be of a better quality and last longer than cheap imitations found in everyday furniture stores.
Many people decide against custom made furniture or do not even consider it as an option because they think it will cost more than items in conventional furniture stores. Admittedly, it often does, but the care that will have gone into the making if the item and the quality of the materials used generally ensures a sturdier product that will last longer. If you are buying furniture to be kept as heirlooms or require a specific piece for a specific area, surely it is worth spending a little extra?
Your furniture needn't be limited to tables and trousseaus. Cupboards, television units, bookshelves and Wall Units, as well as Kitchen Cabinets can all be designed to your specification. Looking for something impressive for the office boardroom? From reception desks and study furniture to boardroom sets, you can kit your office out in an elegant and refined style that is the business. Opening a restaurant or want to put in a bar at home? Whether you require one in an Old English pub style or Manhattan chrome, glass and Perspex these can be specially designed to meet your needs. And if you really want to impress the boys (or the kids) a custom made pool table will give your entertainment area instant appeal and make your home the place where everybody wants to be.
So if you are planning to add to your home contents, renovate the kitchen or smarten up the office, custom design furniture and custom made furniture are definitely worth thinking about - in every sense of the word.

As this book demonstrates, however, Sottsass has been a pioneer of worldwide significance in all major fields of design - furniture, ceramics, glass, jewellery, architecture and industrial design - throughout his sixty-five-year career, during which he has collaborated with many of the world's best-known manufacturers, Alessi, Olivetti and Sevres among them. |
