Dining Elegance with Wills Furniture

It’s that time of year again when we retreat indoors and dinner parties are focussed around the Dining table. So lets be seated comfortably. Wills Furniture offers a range of quality, beautifully designed dining chairs from which you may choose your favourites. Comfortable, stylish and made to last a lifetime, Wills Dining Chairs are simply the right choice.

Hotham

Let’s start with the Hotham. One of our more popular selections, the Hotham is a standard humpback styled chair, utilitarian yet simple and attractive. With tapered legs, choose between Victorian Ash or Tasmanian Oak, both of which can be highly polished or painted as desired. Enjoy the superb comfort of the hand tied coil sprung seat whilst relaxing over a good vintage with friends. See details

Melba

A standard scroll-back style dining chair, it’s simple yet attractive. Again the choice is tapered legs in either Victorian Ash or Tasmanian Oak. Your Interior Designer can select to polish the legs or have them painted to specification. See details

Montrose

For those who prefer it this chair features an extra high back. A sleek contemporary design this chair offers provincial style legs in polished timber – again a choice of Tasmanian Oak, Victorian Ash or specified painted finish. See details

Hotham Carver

A variation of the Hotham, the Carver differs with highly polished timber arms and is slightly wider and higher to make the chair a feature of each end of the dining table. It’s eminently suitable to combine with the Hotham in creating a unique dining table ensemble. See details

With all dining chairs there is the option of selecting piping or studded finishes, with your choice of fabric or leather for the upholstery you desire. Wills Furniture has a range of traditional and contemporary dining chairs available for your selection. We will review more in the next few weeks.

In the meantime please feel free to browse through our Collection here. And remember for Design, Luxury and Comfort – it’s always Wills Furniture – your first choice.

DÉCOR + DESIGN MEL/17 – A show not to be missed

Decor and Design Melbourne 17 should be a rather exciting and interesting show. As mentioned last week, the show is the venue for the finals of ‘Vivid’, Australia’s longest running Design Competition for up and coming Interior Designers. On the 26th of May this years finalists will be announced. And on the 20th of July, the first day of the show, the Awards Ceremony will take place and the winners will be announced. Exciting stuff.

With Melbourne being famous for its laneways and the fostering of artisans, creatives and designers, as well as superb crafted materials to be found in the back lanes and alleys of Melbourne’s CBD, the show this year pays homage to this vibrant city by renaming its ‘Bazaar’ to ‘Design Laneway’. There the smaller studios, textile designers and surface artists have a chance to display their creations and talents to both the Design Industry, Retailers and Manufacturers.

Wall St offers similar opportunities to textile designers and surface artists wishing to showcase large format visuals to the furnishing industry and its ancillary trades.

The Trends Champagne Lounge provides a visual showcasing of the latest trends and colours. It is centrally located and provides a relaxing setting for Designers to meet with retailers, manufacturers and their peers, whilst enjoying a glass of wine.

This also applies to the Trend Hub which is a more interactive design led activity, providing current and future design trend information to participants, interior Designers and their visitors (But no wine).

An International Seminar series, sponsored by House and Garden will feature an all star lineup of International and Australian design experts. The theme for the seminar series in 2017 will be ‘Awakening: Conscious Design’. In addition the Decor and Design team will host three interactive workshop sessions.

The full programme can be downloaded here

Wills Furniture encourages new and emerging designers. From a design perspective classic furniture and contemporary classic furniture will always lift any design plan in our view. A Wills Furniture Collection piece or suite becomes a signature one off delight – unique and not mass produced. Interior Designers have the liberty of modifying a Wills Furniture piece to suit their unique designs. View our full collection here.

We look forward to this show and encourage our clients to attend – Inspiration and Excitement.

Always choose Wills Furniture for Design, Luxury and Comfort.
