Mediterranean influence
By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, October 14, 2001
While still true to its characteristic metal work detailing, Mediterranean sheds its heavy mood in favor of lighter finishes.
This is a style that mixes media in its presentations, often blending metal, wood and glass. Case pieces feature ornate scroll work detail, whether carved, etched or painted. Upholstered pieces display covers reminiscent of Italian villas and old world charm.
| 'SET' A SPELL Settees, such as this ball-and-claw version from Best Chairs, are gaining in popularity. |
| 'HOUSE' IN THREE LANGUAGES Three geographic themes play out in the designs of CENTURY'S Casa collection: architectural elements of Spanish missions of Santa Barbara, Portugal, and 17th century farmhouse style of southern Tuscany. |
| SUNWASHED AMBIENCE One of Pulaski's bedroom introductions features southern European style themes in a light finish to complement the lightness of metal accents. |
| LEATHER COMFORT - CIBOLA'S Cairo wing chair and leggy ottoman join exotic leathers from Arpel and Prime on a highly detailed carved frame. Old Passage finish. |
| ITALIAN ACCENT The new Mediterranean collection from STEIN WORLD includes four oval chests featuring hand-painting and textured finishes, and one with a black granite top. |
| ALL DRESSED UP Paul Robert scores with Deirdre, which reflects the importance of accent pieces. |
