 leatherware

New at Farra this winter: the great feel of Spagnesi leather in relaxing sofas, arranged in a special showcase.

A careful selection of materials is the hallmark of every leather sofa at our showroom, created as single unique pieces, complet-
ed with chrome and fabric.

Exclusively full grain leather and precious fabrics, available in a wide range of colors, single seam lines, are details of style.

Exclusiveness and quality of the leather sofas found in our showroom are what makes the shopping of leather sofas more pleas-
urable.

Color harmony matters regardless of which

room are not balanced properly the result is

the colors of nature go outside look around
you. Notice that green and brown are most
obvious. Remember that black, white, and
gray are "neutral colors". These three colors
go with about anything.

Selecting the right color or finish for your

furniture is crucial. Ask one of our customer
service representatives to assist you.

Finding the right modern bedroom furniture that is sleek and styl-
ish is now a pleasurable experience in our showroom. But what-
ever you choose, you still need to be practical and make sure it
meets your storage needs. Modern bedroom sets are a great way
to achieve a cohesive, contemporary look in the bedroom. The
use of dark and light coloured wood is currently a trend in bed-
room suite fashion.

 neoclassic

mantellassi 1926 ®

Come and discover the new Mantellassi showroom at Farra Design Center. Straight from Florence to enhance your home.

Furniture designed in the Neoclassic style embraced the bold, straight (rectilinear) lines of the movement as pure, geometric shape and form replaced the sin-
uous (serpentine) curves of the Rococo period.

In both France and England, furniture designed during the second half of the eighteenth century reflected strong Greek and Roman influences. However,
toward the turn of the nineteenth century, designs began to include Egyptian characteristics as well, resulting from Napoleonic campaigns into Egypt in 1798
and marked the division between the Early and Late Neoclassic periods.

Modern kitchens are designed in a whole

new concept where strong and large stor-
age spaces are the priority in choosing the
right cabinets where the style of the
kitchen must be harmonious with the rest
of the house.

The goal is to create a modern kitchen that

is period appropriate. The right choice of
kitchens should be done according to
