APRIL SHOWERS OF NEW SPRING THINGS

April 25th, 2012

Dear Members of Parliament,

Ring-a-ding-ding, spring is the thing and our house of uncommon goods is full of pretty new things to perk up your pad. In fact, there are so many pretty new things, we had to add more square footage to our newsletter. Sofas and chairs and stools, oh my!

Ace in Spades

April 25th, 2012

Our new Ace Series is the yogi of sofas. It’s crazy flexible. All four pieces move into many different positions. Even the weighted back rests can be flipped from one side to another. Need to bend over backwards to accommodate an impromptu overnighter? It does guest bed beautifully too. Choose from hundreds of fabrics to boot. We’ve also got graphic pillows galore in store to give Ace an extra jolt.

Parker Here

April 25th, 2012

More Mad Men than Mahatma Gandhi? For those in the market for stricter retro styling, then Parker is where you’ll want to do your Don draping. Named for the swingin’ hotel in Palm Springs, its eye-catching rectangular inserts and base come in range of wood tones (from white and black to walnut and beech) for pairing with a tome’s worth of textiles.

Nice Vice

April 25th, 2012

Whether romance novels or dystopian teen trilogies are your weakness, a good-looking reading chair is de rigueur. The North American-made Viceroy makes the perfect perch, as our Parliament mascot Rufus demonstrates. Pick from a litter of fabric and leg options. It comes with a matching lumbar pillow, but sadly not the adorable pup.

Starting at $920 (33d x 29w x 37h)

Two Hoots

April 25th, 2012

With spring, our parliament of owl mugs has grown to include two new hues. Add sunshiny yellow and navy blue to your cupboard of black, gray and white ones. As per usual, these made-in-Japan ceramic mugs are dishwasher and microwave safe.

$22 each

Stool's Out

April 25th, 2012

Want in on a little interior designers’ secret for snagging extra seating, filling a corner or squeezing a side table into a small space without sacrificing any style Feng Shui? Über cool stools. Choose from a slew of shapes (round ones, angular ones), shades (gold, silver, red, yellow, and more) and patterns (mod, Moroccan). They’re also happy to hang out outside.

$155 - $345

Patio Season

April 25th, 2012

All hands on deck, ‘tis also the season to take the party outdoors. As the days get longer and the temps creep higher, have your café au lait on the porch seated at this slick patio set. The teak wood tops and shiny, metal frame have been treated to take what the outside dishes out.

Chair $195 each
Table $395
