CHWorkspace is  very pleased to announce that our new brochure, the 2012 edition, has just come off the press and we are distributing copies to our valued customers.

If for some reason we have missed you, then please get in touch and we will post you a copy by return.

The 2012 brochure is mainly a consolidation of the existing ranges, although it has to be said that there are at least 10 new ranges of office furniture which have been added to our portfolio.

In addition we have increased our number of stocked ranges of meeting and training tables, along with some very interesting boardroom tables.

We intend to publish these changes and the new additions in greater detail in due course but overall we are very pleased with the design, feel and usability of the new catalogue.

One of the main changes which you will immediately notice is that the prices and technical description of each product is now incorporated into the main brochure.

In 1990 he opened his own design studio and is now considered one of America’s most prominent decorators. B

Did you love the leather sofa? As we know, the luxurious value of leather materials is undoubtedly, no exception to the leather seats, and how if the elegance of leather was combined into the wood element through the high italian crafting technic and resulted the luxury yet cozy seating furniture, like the Riva 1920 furniture collection called PATMOS sofa which is designed by designer Terry Dwan. I really like its shape which characterized by an original yet delicate juxtaposition of solid wood and soft full-grain leather.

Can we consider wood in its raw state as a design must? All of a sudden I am obsessed with natural wood in home decor. If you really think about it, almost every piece of furniture we buy for our homes is composed of wood. Some of it is manipulated to become a table or chair, some made of chips and pressed to be fashioned into shelves, but rarely left alone for us to enjoy its raw, natural beauty. It’s true that it is hard to find exceptional natural wood furniture that can look elegant, but when you do, wow. I’m not sure if I can call this glorious piece of wood a coffee table, but here goes… isn

Vintage window frames have such charm and character… and also the potential to be transformed and repurposed into some pretty practical and functional pieces! I love the rustic and weathered look that an old window brings to a contemporary space and Ive found some fabulous DIY ideas for making an old window into something new. (Please note: old window frames may be finished in lead paint, so be cautious when working with them!)

Above: simple and chic, an antique window with glass is set on a pair of bourgeois crates for a utilitarian coffee table with serious style.

We all appreciate the health benefits of eating fresh homegrown veggies, but have you considered implementing techniques to actually boost the nutritional value of the produce that is harvested from your garden?
