We’re always updating our website and making sure we provide the best service to our customers. Maintaining our products is key to ensure we keep out customers updated and while updating our products we discovered that the Joseph Anica is to be discontinued.

It’s a rather unique looking bed with a silver metal frame and white head end, it’s pretty slick and modern and there aren’t that many similar beds around, which makes it a real shame.

Saying that, we had a good look at our entire product range and found some similar looking beds to suggest to our customers. Joseph actually do similar beds and the Joseph Kava has the same modern style with a silver metal frame but features a dark head end.

If the darker wood doesn’t suit your bedroom, you may like the Joseph Arizona with its silver metal frame and black base.

You may also be interested in the Hyder Manhattan, although it doesn’t have the extra head detailing, it has a modern silver frame and a simple but contemporary design.

Why not take a look through our entire metal bed section and maybe you’ll find something else that catches your eye, as we have a great range of metal beds in different styles.

If it’s the Joseph Anica you’re really after, you’d better hurry up because you won’t find it anywhere soon!

Four New Chair Lines Revealed by SitOnit

There are homes these days that were built way back in the 1970’s. A lot of them are bound to be due for maintenance and repairs. A common suggestion you would get from interior designers and architects would be to get a facelift. But aside from budget issues, why bother if you want to preserve the home in the way that it was before?

You can compromise. You can employ some renovations on some parts like perhaps kitchen counters or tables. But as far as structural design, why go through the trouble of having to reconstruct an area if you can make use of them. The key then is how to balance and make both ends meet.

The Firestones made some adjustments in the modification of their home. You can pick up an idea or two for compromised and cost-cutting measures to renovate your home without going out of bounds.

Instead of attempting to reproduce history, they chose a contemporary Bulthaup system that they believe the home’s original architect, Elroy Webber, would have loved: It brings together the best of contemporary design, but doesn’t skimp on sophisticated technological elements.
