Lomuarredi supports Simon Yates

Lomuarredi supports Simon Yates at the Giro d’Italia 2018!!!

After David Millar, Bradley Wiggins, Mark Cavendish, Simon Yates is the fourth Englishman in the history of the Giro d’Italia to wear the pink jersey.

Simon Yates is a British road cyclist and pistard who runs for the Mitchelton-Scott team. On the track he won the world title of the points race in 2013; on the road, where he has been a professional since 2014, he won a stage at the Vuelta a España 2016, a stage at the Giro d’Italia 2018 and the youth ranking at the Tour de France 2017. The captain of the Australian team Mitchelton Scott proved to be unbeatable on the climb, first leaving victory to his teammate Esteban Chavez on the stage of Etna and then winning the stage at Campo Imperatore on the Gran Sasso. That’s why, very impressed by the incredible performance, personality and humble behaviour, Lomuarredi supports Simon Yates!
Supported by a strong and close-knit team he has every chance to win this Giro d’Italia 2018.

He commands the general classification with the following secondments:
2)Johan Esteban Chaves (MTS) at 32”.
3)Tom Dumoulin (SUN) at 38”.
4) Thibaut Pinot (GFC) at45”
5)Domenico Pozzovivo (TBM) at 57”
6)Richard Carapaz (MOV) at 1’20”.
7)George Bennett (TLJ) at 1’33”.
8)Rohan Dennis (BMC) at 2’05”.
9)P. Bilbao Lopez De Armentia (AST) at 2’05”.
10)Michael Woods (EFD) at 2’25”.

Chris Froome instead began the Giro 2018 in an unfortunate way, before the first stage in Israel he fell heavily and in the Gran Sasso stage he fell again, going uphill into crisis and finished in twenty-third position with a 1’07” gap from Yates.
The arrival of the Gran Sasso entered the legend of cycling after the feat in 1999 of Marco Pantani who, with a starring number, won the stage by winning solo detachment, ripping the pink jersey to the French Jalabert.
The Giro d’Italia that has been disputed for more than a century is the toughest stage race in the world and this year the climb of Mount Zoncolan will be the watershed for the final victory.
Go Simon Lomuarredi is with you!!

Your New Sofa Buying Guide

Your New Sofa Buying Guide for the purchasing of one of the most important item for your home or office.

Buying a new, design sofa is not an easy undertaking and could become very challenging; There are many factors to consider in addition to the purchase cost, the brand to choose and the model.
That’s why we decided to provide an easy and smart guide, called “Your New Sofa Buying Guide”, in which we have collected all the inspiration and essential hints and tips you’ll need when considering one of the most important purchases for your home or office.

Charlotte Sofa Modà Collection.

The Available Space.

Recent studies on people’s habits when they are at home show that we spend most of our time in the living room, sitting or lying on the sofa. We watch television, surf the Internet or simply relax after a long day’s work. So the choice is extremely important!
Always pay close attention to the available space so that you do not buy a sofa that is too large, that compromises the visual impact of the entire space, or that is too small not to be useful for use.
Consider the light points of the room, both natural and artificial. The number of people who will use it, large families with children or only adults such as relatives or friends, in this case you might consider buying a corner sofa, for example.

Measure up your living room

Beware that before buying a sofa you need to have in mind the size of the living room, but also the access points to the living room itself and to your home. Can the sofa be transported by elevator? Will it pass through the stairwell and the front door? If not, can it be passed through the window? And finally, will the supplier’s truck be able to pass through the street where we live and stay in front of our house?
These could be problems, easily solved, to take into account before making the purchase so as not to waste money and time unnecessarily.

Style and Comfort.

Modern, classic, vintage or iconic style… modular sofas with chaise longue with or without armrests… there’s something for everyone!
Bizarre designs, enveloping shapes, soft and comfortable backrests enriched with hand stitching, precious fabrics such as cotton, velvet, natural leather, linen, wool or even cashmere such as, for example, the products of Modà Collection that uses the luxurious cashmere fabrics of Loro Piana.
In any case, comfort must be the first priority! In case of additional back support it is recommended to choose sofas with high or reclining backs, wide armrests for the arms and also chaise longue to stretch the legs so that you can squeeze a nap if necessary.

Sumo Sofa Sancal.

La Isla Sofa Sancal.

Which upholstery?

Fabric: it’s the most used upholstery because its very versatile and so it can be combined with any style and type of furnishing. It is also easy to wash and to keep cleaned. It is usually available in a very wide range of colours and variants: fabric trame, bubble, jeans, sponge…

Linen: it’s a very very elegant upholstery and is able to give a touch of style to any environment. It is a cool material which keep you fresh during summer and most of all is the most durable material for sofas.

Wool: perfect during the winter season, it keeps you warm and comfortable. Its elegant and, the most important thing, is characterized by its natural stain resistance. It expresses all its potential in the colours of light blue, green, ancient pink and beige.

Leather: it’s the most exclusive and luxury upholstery. A bit expensive but, if it’s well maintained, it can last en entire life! The more time passes the more leather becomes precious and charming adding character and personality to the environment in which the sofa is inserted.

I hope you liked our guide, Your New Sofa Buying Guide, and I hope it will be useful for you when you decide to buy your new fantastic sofa!

Kann Design from Lebanon

Kann Design from Lebanon, the history of a surprising furnishing company.

Kann Design from Lebanon is a surprising furnishing company which is gaining more and more value and importance.

Lebanon is a fascinating country in the Middle East (or, more properly, the Near East) on the eastern shores of the Mediterranean basin. It takes its name from the mountain range of Mount Lebanon.
For millennia Lebanon has been a meeting point between different civilizations (including Phoenician, Canaanite, Egyptian, Assyro-Babylonian, Persian, Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine and Arabic) and is inhabited by eighteen religious denominations, each with its own distinct identity, and consequently offers an extraordinarily rich and stratified cultural landscape.
UNESCO has identified five Lebanese sites as World Heritage Sites.
The country is also renowned for its exuberant social, artistic and literary life, music and gastronomy.

In this historical setting, in 1958 Kanaan founded in Beit Chabab a furniture workshop composed by a melting pot of independent craftsmen. Carpenters, welders, upholsterers, painters and weavers that work hand in hand to make quality furnitures. Kann Design products are characterized by a simple, essential and minimalist design but never taken for granted. The use of precious wood, such as oak wood, beech wood, rose wood and teak give every single piece a touch of uniqueness and a sense of warmness, very important inside a home.

Tema Rosewood Table

Now Kann Design is settled also in France, in the city of Paris. As an editor, Kann materializes designer’s ideas and drawings. Since its creation, Kann’s project is bringing together talented designers who share the same vision of contemporary design but never forgetting traditions and roots. Every piece of furniture is still made in Lebanon keeping the high quality of the materials used and precious craftmanship. The team is lead by Houssam (the founder’s son), Meghedi & Rudy, who in their studio elaborate ideas, colors, creations and designs in order to develop the recognizable Kann Design Collection. The Kann Design collection includes: seats, dining tables, coffee tables, sofas, daybeds, bookcases, lightings, desks, mirrors and cabinets.

Tema White Table

As we can see from the pictures Kann Design always uses pastel and delicate colours or the wood alone. This, to maintain the warmness of this high quality product which seems to have its own soul and personality. Kann Design furniture is ideal for the decoration of modern homes but it can be also used to furnish public applications, such as restaurants, bistros or bars.

Review of the new Miniforms products

We are offering a review of the new Miniforms products presented today at the Salone del Mobile Milan 2018

The new Miniforms collection plays with colours and shapes gifting design furniture with clean and essential lines able to be inserted in any context.

We are offering a review of the new products by Miniforms presented today at the Salone del Mobile Milan 2018, including the IOLA, ARIEL and MARIOLINA seats, and the new table with copper-finish structure and a new collection of wall mirrors. Design products with clean and essential lines with a wide choice of trendy finishes ready to be inserted in any context of modern furnishing.
Playing with the wide range of colors from the most vibrant to the classic, you say goodbye to boredom and welcome to the style that allows you to live in total freedom as if you were on vacation.

Ariel Chair Miniforms.

Iola Chair Miniforms.

Mariolina Chair Miniforms

A chair apparently simple but designed for a lifestyle that is no longer there.
A table that makes you feel good and that gives great value to the living room but the link with the kitchen survives.
A table that has the ability to be him to choose you and not you to choose him.

“Invitation ticket for an important dinner: Do not wear elegant clothes, there are them: Iola, Ariel, Mariolina with their elegance will make you live a dream dinner.
He, Them, must understand them.
They, “make up” chairs: after years of black and white, they said: pass a little blush, go. The result: it’s not bad, as in the fifties.
He, toh, for once an effort for me too, for my poor legs that can relax without taking up too much space. But, don’t worry, you won’t trip, on the contrary I’ll make sure that you’ll be comfortable.

The conclusion of this new collection, presented for the first time at the Salone del Mobile 2018 in Milan: simple in appearance but intellectually sophisticated, almost an elegy. Where the only concession to luxury does not stand out: “Me, the mirror”.

Breakfast in America

Breakfast is the first and the most important meal of the day. Let’s discover the most suitable tables for a perfect “Breakfast in America”!

Small, square, round or oval. These are some features for an ideal table insertable in a kitchen or in a narrow dining room.

Gualtiero Table Miniforms

Eaten in the early morning before going to work, breakfast is so important for health because it gives the energies needed to face the day. Usually breakfast is consumed in the kitchen, a warm and cosy place where the whole family gathers at the table before going to work, school, etc…. To furnish a kitchen, wood and pastel lacquered colours are preferable in order to make the environment more comfortable.

Geronimo Table Miniforms.

The square shapes, both fixed and extendable if the family is large, are preferable thanks to their practicality and versatility because they can be inserted in any environment and style of furniture. If the family nucleus is composed of only two people, the table with round shape is ideal: chic, modern and space-saving, which can easily be reused as a coffee table in a living room.

Illo Plus Table Miniforms

Illo Table Miniforms

For larger families we recommend tables with an original or oval shape, mixing various materials and/or colours in order to give a touch of vivacity to the kitchen and avoid that the environment is too heavy, without losing elegance and refinement.

Salone del Mobile Milan 2018

One of the most important international events in the furniture sector is back: Salone del Mobile Milan 2018

The 57th edition will take place from Tuesday 17th to Sunday 22nd April; the location is always the same: Fiera Milano Rho.

This 2018 edition promises to be a new starting point. As proof of the fact that every beginning requires reflection and commitment, the first Manifesto of the Show was drawn up: a document summarising and stressing its strengths and the elements of interconnection with the city, in order to follow up the process of internationalization undertaken and to give the design community some design points for the near future. The Salone del Mobile is a system of connections, creativity and innovation. In a week, over three hundred thousand people converge in the Lombard capital, including entrepreneurs, journalists, collectors, intellectuals, critics, designers, architects, creatives, knowledge workers and simple lovers of beauty. They meet each year in a place that welcomes them with a network of opportunities, so we can talk about a global experience, not just a fair, which attracts not only operators directly involved, but also those who do not operate in the sector. The figures for the new, imminent edition are very significant: more than 205,000 square metres of net exhibition area and more than 2,000 exhibitors – 650 of which are designers at the Satellite Exhibition – with a 22 per cent of foreign companies. Five events will be held at the same time, open to operators every day from 9.30 am to 6.30 pm, and on Saturdays and Sundays to the public. The Salone Internazionale del Mobile and the Salone Internazionale del Complemento d’ Arredo, divided into the stylistic categories “Classic: Tradition in the Future”,”Design” and “xLux”, will take to the field with the biennial Euro Cucina (and its side event FTK – Technology For the Kitchen) and International Bathroom Exhibition, as well as the Salone Satellite.

Eurocucina Salone del Mobile 2018

Salone del Mobile also means Eurocucina: from 17 to 22 April, therefore, the Fiera Milano district of Rho will host the 22nd edition of the most authoritative event in the sector, an opportunity for meeting and comparison for the best Italian and foreign companies and an ideal moment to present and discover the new trends in the most convivial space of contemporary living. For this reason, 2018, the EuroCucina Exhibition will bring together 111 exhibitors distributed over an area of 21,800 square metres in pavilions 9-11 and 13-15; it will be flanked by FTK (Technology For the Kitchen), its natural and extraordinary completion of the exhibition of technology, which there is and will be, in the built-in household appliances sector. The event’s strong points are the high quality of the products and the wide range of products, which not only reveal the novelties of contemporary cuisine but also open up interesting and fascinating perspectives on the organization and future evolution of this space.
