To keep up to date with the MN Collection's resources <sign up> for their email updates. Recently the MN Collection highlighted 10 occasional tables they love feature in their e-news "Center Stage : Side Tables"  < click here> to view the selection.

Here is a sampling from just 3 wonderful manufactures represented at the MN Collection.  Today we will give a glimpse of Julian Chichester, Bradley Hughes and Perry Design.

Julian Chichester:   

Julian Chichester's love of antiques is visible in his designs: taking classical shapes and adding his own unique twists; transforming traditional motifs into something new and fresh; and creating the unepected by adding a contemporary finish.  His pieces are strong enough to hold their own in any setting, yet transitional enough to work in both a Manhattan loft or a chintzy Eaton Square house in London.   Link to new Julian Chichester catalog:  <click here>

D22" x W88.5" x H29".  Finishes: Firmdale Grey Oak w/ Black Vellum (shown), Light Oak w/ Ivory Vellum

  

  

    

Bradley Hughes:

We are thrilled  to introduce Bradley Hughes to Valley designers.  Their comprehensive collection of upholstery, tables, cast concrete sinks & bases, lighting, accessories, case goods, and wall coverings are all stunning in design and uncompromising in quality.  Unlike many manufacturers for the high-end market, Bradley Hughes is competitively priced, offers short lead times, and custom capabilities all made in the USA.  Link to Bradley Hughes:   <click here>

 

 

 

  

     

Perry Design:  

As a manufacturer of both custom window coverings and sculpted steel furniture, Tucson-based Perry Design and Manufacturing has the capabilities to accomplish any project, large or small.   PERRY sculpted steel furniture, forged from recrystallized steel, combines a unique variety of classic shapes inspired from ancient designs creating furniture products that work equally well with all styles of home furnishings: traditional, antique or contemporary.  

Equally exceptional are hand applied, multi-layered, proprietary finishes that reflect the melding of ancient techniques with modern technology.

Sized to fit your needs, with custom capabilities allowing total creative flexibility, PERRY sculpted Art Furniture is the perfect choice for residential and commercial projects.

A swatch of Floor Styles history:   Don Payne opened the Floor Styles showroom 19 years ago to display products that would not normally be shown or available here in the Valley at that time...last century!  "It was hard to find a "place" to show all the floor products and the specialized lines of floor covering, carpet, rugs, hardwoods, cork, leather, so out of this need grew the Floor Styles Showroom."  Don continues to be a premier Sales Agency / Factory Rep as well as a great resource for Arizona Designers.

"Before Floor Styles opened, design clients didn't have many floor covering showrooms to visit, they often needed to travel out of state to find quality product options. Now you have all the resources you need at your doorstep here in our showroom.  We have you covered at Floor Styles!" comments Patrice Hill, Floor Styles "key resource" for design and innovative project ideas.

Design & Technical:  Strength in the power of two..technical and design collide to provide a strong team for your design and flooring needs. 

 Whilst Patrice Hill is also a technical expert when it comes to floor coverings, she is a "veteran" interior design professional and floor covering specialist  - a perfect compliment to Don's technical side.  Don prides himself on his technical expertise and knowledge with a major in Chemical Engineering he is always interested in the science and specifications of the product.  Together they make your flooring requirements a breeze for every design project.

Patrice Hill, a floor covering specialist and interior design professional for more than 20 years has experienced the wide spectrum that is Interior Design.  From creative design studios to large design firms, she has narrowed her field, honed her skills to specialize in floor coverings.   As an interior designer Patrice is able to take your concept or plan and convey the flooring needs to the most suitable products for your budget or request, and then manage the entire ordering and installation process for you.  Patrice is an extension of your services, as is the whole team at Floor Styles.

Color Quest   I   480.675.8830   I   Website Color Quest

 COLOR QUEST might be the oldest showroom at the Scottsdale Design District, but make no mistake they continue to offer superlative quality for the design trade with the finest in fabric, trims, wall covering, hardware and furniture.  

 

Spring is drawing near but at Color Quest Spring is already in the air. New spring lines are arriving daily, the showroom is bursting with spring color - these 2011 spring colors are definitely worth a look!

For those who do not know, Color Quest opened its doors at Scottsdale Design District 14 years ago and their roots to the design industry go way back to Brandt's, a fixture in Arizona since 1947.  

If you have not had an opportunity to do so, please stop by next time you are at Scottsdale Design District to meet Robert Bierk, owner of Color Quest.  Robert (Bob), Joan and Linda are always ready to assist with your projects and to manage your orders.  Bob has been in the business since 1989, opening Color Quest as their 2nd showroom in 1996.   

After two decades Color Quest has continued to maintain the established  relationships with the finest manufactures, company owners and the design community.  Bob has far reaching support across the globe with these long standing relationships and is able to pass on the very best products and service to his design clients - a win-win for all.

Bob is an avid traveler, visiting countless amazing places around the globe, this holiday was spent in Peru and hiking the Inca Trail to the ruins of Machu Picchu!  Russia, Morocco, China, Spain are just a sprinkling of the countries he has traveled through.  You can only imagine the stories behind these adventures - architecture, textiles, culture, food, clothing, color palettes, art and more!  There are great tales to hear...just ask!

When it comes to business you can be sure to know Color Quest is working hard for you offering the finest fabric and textile lines such as Schumacher, Robert Allen and a new vibrant collection from RM Coco, just to name a few.

Wall coverings have been literally jumping out of the showroom, Bob has sold more wall coverings this month than in the previous 6 months - they offer a wide selection and you know the applications are vast, much more than for a small powder room or bedroom wall.
