We have all heard the comparisons describing how good something can be, well here is one that can be see and felt in person. De Sede is the Rolls Royce of furniture and they back that up with the ultimate in design, materials and philosophy. "Style and comfort are the message behind the de Sede credo: The culture of excellence. There is no place for the mediocre or pedestrian". The latest from de Sede, the DS-371 sofa by designer Cuno Frommherz is elegant and functional with its flip style back rest that goes flat creating a horizontal shelf. Loose cushions allow versatility and improved seating comfort in the position of your choice while narrow arms maximize space. The DS-371 sofa has a close proximity to the floor which creates a substantial look and eliminates what often becomes trendy hardware that can date furniture. The 371 series is modular and has seating in a multitude of option from sofas in various sizes and depths to sectionals limited by you space or imagination. De Sede hand makes all their furniture in Switzerland with the finest material including leather hides specifically from Germany or Switzerland where the conditions are superior. For those opposed to leather, Microsede is also available as an upholstery option. The product is based on an extremely fine polyester fiber that is 300 times thinner than the finest natural wool fiber. These fibers are processed into flakes and then made into a felt. The de Sede collection also includes an incredible series of modern easy chairs and tables.

In 2007 Furniture Fashion reviewed some really outstanding kitchens in the traditional and modern categories, and the great designs will keep coming in 2008. Here is an awesome design from Italian based Aster Cucine that is perfect for a high end home interior. "Aster is the ideal target for people looking for a unique and luxurious design, where every detail fits perfectly in the harmonic project of their own kitchen, but at the same time they ask for quality and care of the finished product." Established in 1893, this young and dynamic company stands ready to interpret new trends including outlets with competent staff making a whole world of design possibilities available. The Modula represents the most modern approach in today's kitchens with made-to-measure articles, and colors produced to match customer samples for a custom aspect you won't find in most quality oriented manufacturers. For the more consumer looking for traditional kitchens, Aster Cucine has an equally impressive line of offerings.
In a previous post Furniture Fashion showed our readers some ergonomic memory foam pillows that really help assist in full head and neck support. Often people with hip and back problems need special pillows especially when sleeping on their side. For this problem I really like this J shaped Snoozer Full Body Pillow from Zonk Designs which covers several key areas that are often problematic to many people. The Snoozer helps in proper circulation, proper spinal alignment, and muscular relaxation not to mention a great night sleep. The full j shaped body pillow measures 64x16 $85, and Zonk Designs also offers an Upper Body Pillow 36x16 $65 and a Jr. Body Pillow 36x10 $55 all of which are machine washable and 100% hypoallergenic, with Comforel synthetic down polyester fill and pure white cotton covers. These body pillows are part of a great variety of specialty back care items are available from RelaxTheBack .
If you are one of the many who has purchased a new memory foam mattress, or are still on the fence about this revolutionary bedding phenomenon, remember to match it up with a quality memory foam pillow. The excellent support given by the billions of viscoelastic memory foam cells is finding its way to all sorts of health related products, and one of the best products are the vast array of foam pillows. The pillows are available in all shapes and sizes from a traditional flat rectangular version, large full length body pillows, to the curved ergonomic style that allows you to remain flat reducing neck strain. The curvature mimics the shape of your body and follows your neck line giving ultimate support, and a great night sleep. Another consideration is to travel with your own memory foam pillow for better consistency, and hygiene, as many people use the same hotel pillow creating potential health risks. In addition, memory foam will not be affected by bed bugs and dust mites as they can not live in the small cells of the viscoelastic material so you do not have to worry about bringing them home with you. Tempurpedic who is the most well known name in foam bedding has a full range of memory foam pillows starting at $99 in many sizes with various widths and heights to fit any size person.
Any bed named Dallas would most certainly have to be made from leather, a material that symbolizes the "old west". As for the style, you might not expect a very sleek modern platform bed with clean lines made in Italy, a country synonymous with fine leather craftsmanship. Since 1987 Meritalia has manufactured expressly designed and exclusive products at the highest level of quality marrying the creativity of major architects with the technique, care, ability, and experience gained in 40 years of activity in this field. The Dallas bed is completely covered in carefully selected leather and features detailed stitching with rigid inner steel frame. The Dallas range also includes chests of drawers with sunken handles in dark-stained oak that offer the perfect compliment to the leather, keeping in line with the natural element. Leather beds can also transition into a preexisting set of drawer units, and the Dallas comes in a selection of colors which add to its versatility.
