<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is fair to say that we Kiwis love a bargain. And certainly, with the lowering of import duties and the resultant flood of cheap furniture that has spread its way across the country, we might be fooled into the idea that we are indeed saving money. Sadly this is not the case.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Blinded by thrift, it is easy to lose an eye for detail, a nose for quality and frankly, one's taste! In an effort to save a penny, we are purchasing uncomfortable furniture of dubious manufacture that is intended to last a couple of years at best. Oh, how our Grandparents would roll...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Investing in a well made sofa will always prove its worth it in the long run. A classic design, made using the best materials and top notch construction is without doubt the best value decision you can make.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Take a $3000 sofa and compare it with one that costs $7000. Why pay the extra? Ask the following questions and you will usually get your answer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Is it a bespoke item made by trained craftsmen?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What is the frame made of? </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Do I have a choice of foams and fills to suit my personal comfort level?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What is the quality level of the finish?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Will the manufacturer modify the design to make it suitable for my particular physical dimensions?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Will the upholstery not only suit my aesthetic requirements but also meet my expectations from a practical perspective?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Does the furniture come with a guarantee and if so, for how long?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If something does go wrong, is the manufacturer available locally to quickly correct the issue?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">Is it a classic design that will stand the test of time?</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At Trove, we think the smart money is on buying once and buying well. Finding yourself smitten by a couch is one thing, but the key to a long lasting relationship is understanding the love and craftsmanship that has gone into the creation of a bespoke item of furniture, made especially for you.</span>Trove Interior Designhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18209211983750081530noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9202827842086617440.post-88419473953352112192013-09-26T10:41:00.002-07:002013-09-29T17:43:44.996-07:00Sweet Dreams<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Trove Interior Design is proud to offer our valued clients furniture by bespoke furniture designer, Jimmy Lousich.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Jimmy's
exquisitely handcrafted leather pieces are highly sought after by both
local and international collectors and aesthetes. He was recently
invited to exhibit his Fleur du Pearl chair in conjunction with world
renowned furniture manufacturers, Angelo Cappellini Italia, at the Milan
Furniture Fair.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Furniture by Jimmy Lousich regularly features in
many of Europe's most prestigious design publications including a recent
spread in Vogue Living Italia.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Internationally, Jimmy is viewed
as a creator of up and coming design icons. Purchasing one of his
creations today is to make an investment in New Zealand's design future
and to give yourself the gift of owning something truly precious and
unique.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">At the Trove Design Studio we have two of Jimmy's La
Fleur de Coco chairs on display. These were created as part of a
collaborative project between our Design Director, Daniella Norling and
Jimmy Lousich. Please feel free to come and view these chairs and have a
