January 2009 Archives

According to Canadian House & Home magazine at their annual trends breakfast, Lynda Reeves (publisher and founder) reminded everyone that cocooning was born during the last recession (along with cultural phenomena like the VCR and microwave popcorn). And this time around, it could be called ANCHORING. It's all about taking shelter... implying a trend toward making one's shelter cozy and comfortable with items that are of great quality and stand for goodness ... "it's the death of the Consumer and the birth of the Citizen", she announced...

Using Lynda's perspective, Koletic Design is looking forward to the Interior Design Show where they will showcase new designs that offer comfortable, high quality furniture. It's been said that good furniture is art. At Koletic Designs we welcome the discerning citizens who will be anxiously looking for those items of great quality!

After a hectic end to 2008 we are showing some new designs to welcome the new year.

In our Dining Tables section we have a new base and stretcher design with a beautiful Bubinga dining table.

Bronze glass framed in Bubinga with a stained walnut base is another of my new designs for 2009. This piece is also now featured on our web site.

And finally a commissioned bench with a solid Willow block and fantastic curly Jarrah will make a great place to sit and contemplate the year ahead.

All the best for 2009!
