HALCYON DAYS

Suffused with a fifties’ glow, this low slung sofa stretches the Jeanette collection in a lazy, new direction.

Perfect for a sunny alcove or apartment terrace, the tub shape and compact curves, gives this distinctive piece its broad appeal. 

DOWN TO EARTH

 Down to earth yet attentive to detail, Eileen side tables exude wild bush luxury. Machined grooves on the table’s surface create an elegant feature, subtly highlighting the beauty of the natural stone as well as functioning as water drainage for outdoor environments.

Introducing the Type 80 Collection

Posted on by Gerry

Anglepoise is pleased to introduce a contemporary lighting collection designed by renowned British industrial product designer Sir Kenneth Grange in his 90th year. Anglepoise Type 80 Collection will arrive in stock in September 2019.

Offering a premium lighting solution for both domestic and commercial interiors, the collection includes lights for table, wall and ceiling that combine high style with ease of installation and durability.

Distinguished by a striking, graphic profile, Type 80’s design is further enhanced by an attractive ‘halo’ light-escape feature in the shade. This adds an extra dimension in low light environments – a refinement characteristic of Sir Kenneth’s designs for the brand.

  Designed by   

“In the history of domestic lighting there is one truly iconic element and it must surely be the conical shade, so is right that Anglepoise should have such a classic iconic design in their portfolio. Moreover, with every new model that we launch there is an innovation, no matter how modest. With the Type 80 the visual attraction of light spilling onto the shade outer surface aims to make the iconic even more distinguished.”

– Sir Kenneth Grange

Every detail has been carefully considered with as much finesse as possible. Joints are precision engineered to new exacting standards. Elegant style combined with ease of use distinguishes this collection. Both table and wall versions feature sprung joint mechanisms, cables that are discreetly routed through the arms and an accessible on-shade on/off switch. The wall sconce and ceiling rose are visually aligned and easy to install. The collection comes in four sophisticated, ultra-matte colour choices – Rose Pink, Pistachio, Grey Mist and Matte Black.

The collection launches September 2019. In the UK, the collection will be exclusively available on anglepoise.com and in-store at John Lewis & Partners until February 2020.

Design Director of Anglepoise since 2003, Sir Kenneth Grange began his illustrious career as a technical illustrator whilst in National Service. He subsequently made his reputation as an industrial product designer and in association with four partners founded Pentagram, now an international design practice with offices in USA, Germany and London. Grange’s remarkable work spans half a century and his user-centred, often quintessentially British designs have helped shape the parameters of everyday life for so many. Not only household brands like Kenwood, Parker, Kodak – and of course Anglepoise – have received the Kenneth Grange treatment but also the InterCity 125 train, the regional Royal Mail post box and the London Black Taxi.

How to make your home as a Minimalist Style?

Posted on by Gerry

Many people focus on their own home, so they will pay more attention to the quality of “living”. They also will choose their favorite and comfortable furniture and lighting.

In fact, the Minimalist Style of home design is suitable for the environment in Hong Kong. The reason is that the space of general housing in Hong Kong is relatively small and the price is relatively expensive.

Therefore, the Minimalist Style becomes their hot choice when the new owner and designer planning to design their new house. The focus of the Minimalist Style is “Less is more”, so everything will not too much, and the most important thing is to be appropriate.

#1 Using natural light

If you have seen the Minimalist Style home design, you will be aware that their house is comfortable and warm. One of the main reasons is that they have enough luminosity and would not let anything block the sun from entering the home. Ample light not only enhances the overall style of the home but also allows the light and air to make you healthier!

#2 Bright elements dominated

The second major focus of the Minimalist Style is using the bright color in the different furniture. Most of the homes of Minimalist Style that matching the sunshine and make the whole house look clean and refreshing.

#3 Wood element

If the color of your home furniture is monotonous, maybe you can consider adding wood elements in your home space. For instance, the wooden floor can be used as coordination so that the home will not be too white and become dull. The wood also occupies a very important position in the Minimalist Style.

# 4 Adding natural elements

In addition to the wood as one of the elements, the Minimalist Style also can add natural objects such as stone, glass, and iron, but the point is that they will keep the original texture of these objects as much as possible without excessive damage.

I believe that everyone starts to repositioned and valued the design, and gradually wants to make life come back to a simple way, and start to pay more attention to a certain spiritual level in design. It is not just a kind of packaging, but an aesthetic of life. The Minimalist Style, in addition to being a form and style of design, it is a manifestation of a life claim.
