The carefully hand-crafted back shell and beautifully worked, elaborate details of the seams perfectly round out the sensually luxurious, absolute experience that is Rolf Benz AMO. A successful example of how a sofa can be more than simply a functional piece of furniture for sitting on: namely, a place where the human longing for beauty, perfection and sensuality is fulfilled. A place where a need to slow down and a desire for honesty is met. More info on the product below.

The basic principle of Beauty was the inspiration for the design of the Rolf Benz LINEA. The range of sofas designed by Swiss designer Cuno Frommherz is reserved in its very form, accentuating the simplicity and clarity of its lines. It consciously dispenses with everything that is decorative and superfluous. The result is a corpus that, due to its minimalism and clarity, has a strong character, but also leaves space for the things that surround it. More info of the sofa below.

Rolf Benz PLURA is the logical development of the functional concept behind the Rolf Benz 2400. The Rolf Benz 2400 range of sofas that were launched on the market more than 20 years ago impressed customers all over the world with seats that could swivel independently through 90 degrees and an integrated high-back function in the back-rest. A comfortable upright sitting position or relaxed lounging with legs raised – depending on how the mood took you – both were possible with this popular and successful sofa. These and other additional functions have been adopted with a contemporary twist into the new Rolf Benz PLURA range of sofas, designed both as individual sofas and modular groups.

If you are a heartlander and see yourself playing chess at the void decks of your flat when your hair turn gray, why not make it a better place. As part of ArchiFest ’09, the Singapore Institute of Architecture has presented Operation Void Deck, a competition open to all to create an architectural intervention into the void decks of our beloved HDB flats. Entries should present a vision of how to encourage community interaction and enhance the quality of life of the residents across generations, especially the elderly with the budget capped at $30,000. While the costs of our HDB units keep rising, perhaps we can spruce it up to match its price. Visit here for more information.

The range of colours is mild and calm, and includes touches of indigo blue, Bordeaux red and olive green, well-supplemented by a graphic black-white range.

New products in this collection include:

Collette, with a horse motif. This wallpaper has been named after one of our Irish customers, who in addition to being a very well-respected decorator, also raises horses.

Kina Slott, which means the Chinese Palace, and is now depicted both on textiles and wallpaper, is a unique idyllic spot in the huge landscaped park at Drottningholm. On Queen Lovisa Ulrika’s birthday in 1753, King Adolf Fredrik surprised her with a little Chinese country residence in Drottningholm Park. It was a very much
appreciated birthday present, as all of Europe was then crazy about chinoiserie. In the 1760s, the wooden structure was replaced by a more permanent building, which today contains one of foremost examples of European interior decorating with chinoiserie. Kina Slott, together with the entire palace grounds of Drottningholm, is included on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Miko is a fine-patterned wallpaper that was previously part of the Sandberg product range. We have now chosen to include it again, as we’ve noticed that more and more people have discovered the advantages of wallpapering all the walls of a room. Miko works well as a background, it you are hanging many pictures and works of art on the walls. The original inspiration for Miko comes from a Japanese book cover.

In addition to the above-mentioned new products, there are also the wallpaper patterns, Marcel (our classical and popular striped pattern), Stella (an easy surface pattern with twinkling stars), Ranold (Scottish tartan), Simon (silkdamask) with matching Debora (narrow-striped surface pattern), and naturally Nora (flower coil), which has lent its name to the entire collection.
