The Bite Magazine - Spring/Summer 2024 - Issue 35

bitelifestyle The Ottoman’s neat hand-pleated corners echo the styling on the sofas and loveseat. Its plump, cushioned base provides an elegant footstool to complete your living room styling. A deep fixed seat hallmarks the sofas with the exact elegant turned oak legs and gently sculpted slender arms. The arm lead gives the slightly higher back an elegant uplift softened by two feath- er-filled self-coloured scatter cushions. Artes is another collection with 34 distinctive shades and six fabrics comprising Ottoman, Armchair, Two-Seater and Three-Seater Sofas. The Ottoman mirrors the timeless appeal of the range with hand-pleated corners to the simple uphol- stered top and turned and polished feet. The Armchair and Sofas have a classic English roll arm styling, which has been around since the 1800s. The bottom frame echoes the curves of the arms to create a welcoming and attractive outline. The Umea Loveseat, Chaise, Two-Seater and Three-Seater Sofas with polished square tapered wooden legs are designed for movie marathons and Sunday afternoon snoozes. The Oxford-style pillowcase edges on the seat cushions smarten the relaxed look, while the deeper seats offer extra legroom. All four seating types have modern English low arms, feath- er-filled seats and back cushions. The Ottoman is available in extensive linen cotton blend, leather, boucle, herringbone, stripe or velvet hues. Thanks to their fun retro feel, the Trosa Armchair, Two-Seater, and Three-Seater Sofas feature tapered legs, broad and cur- vaceous winged backs, and angular sling arms. This cosy and welcoming style will hug the seater in its enveloping form and provide a striking focal point in their living room. A pair of rectangular scatter cushions are included for additional sup- port. The Ottoman can be upholstered in a matching or coor- dinating fabric as the perfect companion to the two-seater sofa or armchair. Other home furniture and accessories include the elegant and functional Katara Sideboard in a pale blonde natural oak wood inspired by Scandinavian design. It has six drawers with button knobs in the same wood and stands on slim tapered legs. The middle drawers are more comprehensive than the outer draw- ers. The Limewashed Parquet Media Unit in a pale finished fir wood has subtle geometric detailing and generous storage within the four cupboards. Its top surface will fit the broadest widescreen television. The uniquely handmade Elodie Planter features a reactive glaze that produces delicate copper-toned freckles across the white ceramic pot. Pair this with a leafy greenhouse plant to create a fantastic indoor display. Other planters include the Matt Black, Natural Woven, Scalloped Edge, Dipped Glaze, and Textured Leaf. The Tapered Scalloped Edge Shade, available in small or large, has an undulating scalloped shape and soft cream col- ouring. It is perfect with a neutral-toned lamp base for elevat- ing any interior scheme. With the ceramic base flowing into a narrow neck and topped with a gently tapered linen shade, the Round Ribbed Table Lamp in cream has a ribbed design decorating the glazed sur- face, adding interest and atmosphere to a neutral scheme. The Abstract Speckled Table Lamp, topped with a slightly flared cream linen shade, has a curvy organic speckled warm neutral ceramic base with an open centre that gives a porous look to the finish.
