The International contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) in New York opened two days ago . What an amazing combination of unique modern designs on display from all corners of the world. If you are in New York for the next two days, I highly recommend coming to the show and enjoying design in such abundance.
We have officially launched or New Macassar Collection in New York, to great response from those who have attended so far and also the media. Though we have many new designs at the show, there are also many more still in the works that were not finished in time to display. Including a new chaise lounge, a dining table and chairs, more lighting and bedroom furniture. I will be posting the new pieces on my website and this blog as they are released.
With the New Macassar Collection I have decided to offer something special: a new take on my most popular pieces, using one of the most unique and rare woods in the world. The new Macassar Collection features the use of Macassar Ebony wood, considered one of the most lustrous and beautiful of the ebony wood family. To be able to work with this wood is a crowning achievement for most wood workers, but it comes with a price. Macassar Ebony is notoriously difficult to bend; being more brittle than standard woods and also very dense, making for an extremely durable piece, but also requiring an expert hand. What makes this collection different to my other pieces are details such as; biscuit tuft upholstered leather seats, ¾” glass tops on the console tables, tapered curves and the perfectly matched veneer as it wraps around the entire piece.
Below are a few detail shots of the pieces at the show to display these changes. To see more please visit http://www.andrewmuggleton.com/macassar.htm or if you are in the city, come down to the show at the Jacob Javits center (directions can be found at http://www.javitscenter.com/directions/default.asp) and I would really enjoy giving you a personal tour through the new designs.
