To be quite frank, I didn't know a lot about British furniture maker Theodore Alexander until I was given the tour of the awesome showroom. I use the term, 'awesome' in the truest sense. This was one large, packed-full-of-extraordinary-pieces, kind of show room. awesome, it was.
The Althorp collection - a line of reproduction antiques from from the ancestral home of the Spencer family was especially impressive.
Being the gadget girl that I am, I was completely taken by the Jupe table with its moving parts. "The top is formed of eight pull - out triangular segments with inset fold out leaves to expand the table"
Very cool, from an industrial design standpoint.
Or check this desk out, another favorite as it has 100 hidden compartments. (and, yes, it comes with instructions upon delivery )
and this little writing desk...
So cute. Although I think if it were in my home it would be inhabited with Calico Critters.
Theodore Alexander's showroom was endless and packed with absolutely everything for the well appointed, elegant home.
As a bonus we ran into the Keno brothers who have a line of furniture at TA. ( there's a photo floating around out there of we bloggers with the gentlemen. But, I won't be posting it here. I look about 30 pounds over weight, hot sweaty and basically unraveled. Mmmhmm. I'm that vain )

Next stop....Sligh, the makers of home office and entertainment furniture. The Sligh family, has been in the furniture industry for over 133 year, honing their product to the needs of an ever changing world of technology. I'll admit, when asked to find 'office furniture' I don't always get excited. But, Sligh has managed to create a wide range of design without overwhelming nor taking the fun out of design.
I loved this, built in charging base. |
Their patented electronic designs, created by a team of industrial designers, have put them in the forefront in the industry.

and then off we went, to the next show room (feeling tired yet?) .........
the train of design bloggers, coco+kelly and stylebeat in the lead. |
