Dennis & McGregor Exclusive Retailers of Inhabit

Karen

Known throughout the world as a prolific Design house, Inhabit has made a considerable impact on the world of design for the home. Basically by accident (and a printer found in the trash) founders Mike Tuttle and Jennifer Smith Tuttle turned a client’s distaste for three graphic patterns into fabric prototypes and in late 2002 Inhabit was born. Shortly after, they swore off designing for other clients to focus strictly on growing the Inhabit brand. Ever since they have been blurring the lines between design disciplines by taking their graphic-driven style out of the commercial design world and into your homes, commercial environments and public spaces.

Their products can be seen daily on television programs, read about in the most industry relevant publications but most-importantly adorning the spaces of fans everywhere.

We are pleased to confirm that Dennis and McGregor are now the exclusive retailers of this well known brand.  We will be carrying everything from graphic pillows and designer handbags to the exclusive and well known wall flat designs.  Visit the website to view the full Inhabit Collection.

Karen

Music is a very colorful thread woven into the entire fabric of our lives.  The importance of music is a greater part of life; which harmony receives soothing sound of gentleness. The success of music generates entertainment through music. Movement, of self motivation alerts the body, mind and soul to a higher level. The importance of music in human lives can produce gratitude, heal stress with a stimulation of entertainment for one to be successful at his best.” Joyce Phillips

Steve McGugan Twilight Candle Holder

Karen

Two candles on a table. Then you have the perfect atmosphere. Not least when the two  candles are placed in the new candle holder, Twilight from Stelton.

The name does not refer to just the two lights connected by an elegantly curved arch. It also creates associations to the time when the lights are lit: at twilight, on the border between light and darkness.

Twilight is made from polished stainless steel. Together the light holders play off each other, either placed side by side, offset or as an innovative 4-armed candle holder, where the small light holder is placed under the large one.
Twilight in this way creates new inspiration for modern table settings many new shapes and designs.

Eames Style Lounge Chair & Ottoman Set

Karen

The Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman, correctly titled Eames Lounge and Ottoman were released in 1956 after years of development by designers Charles and Ray Eames. They are now part of the permanent collection of New York’s Museum of Modern Art. The chair first appeared on the Arlene Francis ‘Home’ show broadcast on the NBC television network in the USA in 1956. Since then it has made many appearances on television and film and has found celebrity status amongst modern furniture design.

Few would argue that this chair could be the most easily recognisable and desirable furniture classic design of all time!! It appeals to people for several reasons. It is a classic design that has been in production ever since its creation. In addition to its style, it is also very comfortable a combination not always found in high design. Additionally, some people find it desirable purely for reasons of value with originals of the chair fetching well over £3500. Our quality reproduction of this classic is sympathetic to the detail and comfort of the original but at a fraction of the cost!

The chair is made from a series of moulded plywood veneer layers, thick soft cushioning covered in full Italian leather. The solid metal base is black with stainless tops and sides as per the original. The chair does not tilt as it is a one position relaxer chair.

This represents a fantastic opportunity of owning what could be described as furniture’s most endearing design ever.
