We have had a massive style crush on our mate, Jono Fleming, and his insanely gorgeous apartment for a while now...so, we couldn't think of a better way to showcase some of our new collection pieces than at home with him!
Jono shows that simple styling and a fresh colour palette are all you need for an inviting and contemporary space.
He describes the pieces in our new collection as "modern classics", with their shapes being "familiar and versatile". He tells us more about the key pieces he loves in his home and how he's styled them.
Our Blake Rattan Boucle Dining Chairs look right at home in Jono's dining space, with a stunning marrying of on-trend materials, such as the boucle and rattan of the chairs, and the timeless marble tabletop...not to mention that gorgeous herringbone flooring!
"The Blake dining chairs not only tick the comfort box but they also work functionally, sliding under the table with no problems. As for materiality, pops of boucle at home compliment the white boucle cushioned seat perfectly, making these new pieces feel like they’ve been a part of my home forever."
It's the considered details of this piece that make it a standout. The boucle upholstery for starters, the natural rattan and oak mix in the backrest, as well as the simple steel frame allowing the materials to really shine.
Both the Modena Bench and Atlanta Bedside are such versatile pieces, merging storage and functionality with considered design elements.
"The Modena bench is such a stand out piece for me. With clean lines and practical storage, it’s such a flexible piece for the home. It could be an entry bench, a tv unit or just a place to display your belongings."
While the two shelves in the Atlanta Bedside are great storage options, we can't get over how stunning the light looks going through its slatted panels!
They both look stunning with our new lighting pieces, the Kade and Bobo table lamps, and the Arco Vessel, with Jono showing us how decor pieces can mix and work in different spaces.
Our new additions to the Glam range, the Glam Rectangular Side Table and Glam Oval Coffee Table, are all about their materials and curved shape. Again, Jono shows how simple styling can work better to show off key pieces.
"It’s all about simplicity and letting the form of the furniture do the talking. With clean lines and beautiful materials, keeping the styling to a minimum is easy to do."
The extra oak shelf on both pieces gives you the option to display more decor pieces and add height and dimension to your piece, or to mirror the curves of the table through smaller, sculptural additions as Jono has.
The rattan and boucle in our new Blake range is a match made in style heaven, perfectly bringing its retro shape and contemporary style together. The natural timber armrests and backrest frame blend beautifully with the natural rattan and make the white boucle really pop in the Blake Armchair.
"Despite having two very on trend materials, this piece feels timeless and has an ease of design that will stand out in any space."
By Jono styling this piece in two different spaces we are able to see how different boucle colours can really work together in a space, as well as some empty bedroom corners are just longing for an armchair to fill them!
The Malawi Rug by Armadillo brings so much life and colour to the Modena Bench, with its saffron colouring bringing through the warmth of the natural oak in the bench.
With the Offset Dining Chairs, Jono has chosen smaller decor pieces to add colour and interest, including our new Wildthing Vase.
"I added pops of colour through books and smaller objects and vases. Sculptural vases and bowls compliment the shapes of the furniture without pulling focus."
The grey of the Offset's fabric beautifully brings out the veins in the marble dining tabletop, with the whole dining set framed by Jono's own collection of artwork, as well as our Bjorn Oval Mirror.
The Aura Leather Lounge Chair is a truly timeless piece that can fit in with most contemporary styled spaces, as it seamlessly does here in Jono's living room. We asked Jono what exactly he looks for when selecting a new piece for an existing space.
"It comes down to a few key factors for me, does it fit with the existing furniture and will it work on a practical level, whether that be function or comfort."
While our Monet Ottoman has been part of this space for much longer than our Aura, the two seamlessly merge, showing how pieces in our new collection can easily be mixed into our existing range.
Adding in our new RB Kipton Vase to accessorise just furthers the level of style and layers this cosy little space has.
Blush and warm tones are at the forefront in this little styled space, with our Atlanta Fabric Bench showing off both its storage and comfort capabilities. The new Chrysler Vessel in terracotta fits perfectly in the benches open side spaces, showing how they can be for both practical storage as well as decor.
Overall, we love how seamlessly and stylishly Jono has integrated these pieces into his already stunning home, bringing them to life as well as displaying their versatility in each room.
We also love his description of the aesthetic of this collection as, "...fitting easily into any home style but with updates in materiality and form that give it a new, fresh aesthetic."
We can't wait to see how you bring these new pieces into your own homes and add your unique style sense to each!
Love, Life x
