Charlotte — Our Most Sought-After Bookcase

Bookcases have grown in popularity and functionality over the years, no longer used solely as spaces to house pages of literary icons, but now a great way to display our ornaments and accents to shine a spotlight on our own signature. 

One bookcase that we're asked for time and again is the Charlotte by Bontempi Casa, and now the range has been expanded to enable even greater versatility.

The Charlotte is an open design with a lacquered metal frame tapering at the top and bottom ends, creating a sleek shape which accentuates the shelving and the contents it houses. Wall mounted or ceiling-to-floor mounted styles are available, making it a popular choice as a room divider.

The frame and fastenings can come in contrasting or complimenting finishes, and there are a selection of widths available to which one adds shelving components, selected separately. These can include glass or wood shelves, drinks cabinets and metal storage cupboards, allowing for a bespoke finish.

Beyond the original bookcase, Bontempi have newly released a Corner Design which can be configured to fit inner or outer corners depending on your needs, meeting in the centre with curved glass shelves — and a Charlotte TV Unit. The TV Unit employs the original bookcase design to surround a large lacquered wood panel for a mounted TV.

New Cane-Line Outdoor Collection

Cane-line are known for their signature outdoor furniture, defined by a fusion of traditional and contemporary aesthetics. Ready for the upcoming warmer seasons, Cane-line have released their latest outdoor collection, helping you to introduce functionality and design to your outside space.

The Choice Family includes a modular chair or bar stool in recycled polypropylene with a choice of wood or metal legs, that can be complemented by easily removable seat pads and back cushions — showcasing a new outdoor bouclé fabric to transform the look. The Hive Family includes a hanging chair in natural or green, a cocoon chair, and two lounge chairs, all giving off a tropical aesthetic.

For lounge-style seating arrangements, the Arch Collection features modular sofa, corner sofa, and lounge chair designs made up of seat modules with high or low curved backrests, in a woven mix of natural-look and taupe. All of the seat pads are filled with Quickdry filling, perfect for drying out after the rain and for allowing air to circulate on hot days. Alternatively the Capture Family also have a modular approach but are more simplistic in their overall look, stripping away the high arms and backrests and replacing these with confidently rounded edges and cascading sloped corners. 

   
Pictured above: Glaze Round Coffee Table and Illusion Solar Powered Hanging Lantern

The Glaze Round Coffee table is an elegant and notable design, featuring a hand-crafted tabletop made of lava stone from Mount Etna, twice glazed for protection and colour so great for facing the elements but making the finish unique on each. The base is an organic shape made of semi-gloss powder coated aluminium complete with a steel core for durability. 

To complete this new collection and to really showcase your outdoor space in the right light, the Illusion solar powered lanterns are the newest design addition to the Cane-line family. Complete in a selection of sizes from floor lamp, to portable hanging lamps, these lanterns are solar powered but can also be USB charged, allowing you to cast light where you decide in your outdoor space, and each come with a remote control so you can also turn them off when you want to. The lamps are cocooned inside traditional basket weave designs, giving that nod to the traditional-contemporary fusion once again. 

Cane-line continue to bring their signature style to the outdoors in a big way, and this new collection joins a family of designs that are both timeless and refreshingly new. 

New Porada Collection

Porada are well known for their timeless contemporary designs, applying artisan skills and artistic rendering to traditional shapes and silhouettes. Their recent Milan collection was highlighted with bold natural marble patterns, new shapes and classic woods.

The Callisto Coffee Table sees asymmetric pebble-shapes cut from marble for its table top, supported by a curvy bronzoro lacquered wood base. The table comes in a choice of new-to-the-collection natural marbles including Lapponia Green (pictured) and is available in a selection of varying shapes. Also employing marble for its top, the Matics Glass Sideboard is a beautiful storage piece in solid canaletto walnut with four glass front door panels each with a sleek pewter grey metal edging. Glass internal shelving and dimmable internal lighting complete the design.

Grey pewter metal details are a quietly recurring theme within the collection, and feature elegantly on the feet of the Etienne Sofa. This welcoming design features low lines, square backrest cushions and softly rectangular armrests, in a host of modular compositions ranging from traditional to experimental. The Ekero Totem Floor Lamp is a graceful addition to the Ekero family, featuring a slender grey metal pewter frame on a cylindrical natural marble base. The frame splits into two stylised curves at different heights, supporting a solid canaletto walnut coin tray and a spherical diffuser in white opal frosted glass.

It wouldn't be a Porada collection without showcasing their longstanding love of working with wood. The Abby Chair displays how beautifully Porada can execute a simple idea, featuring round-ended solid wood legs that support a rounded upholstered seat with curved arms. Lastly the Gong Mirror is a broad, oversized trapezoid shape mirror that makes a feature of its frame. Two solid ash 'legs' in a choice of colour cut unapologetically through the mirror's glass, tapering upwards as it leans into the wall.

Explore the new collection from Porada and invite a contemporary classic into your space.
