Kath GriffithsI remember unpacking a box on a House & Garden shoot, with every piece I unpacked I was getting more excited. I want to say I politely enquired as to where they were from, but I can clearly remember shouting 'WHERE ARE THESE FROM?!' until someone answered me. There my love for parna was born. When I did a pop-up shop in Pentreath & Hall sometime later, I sold some of Kath's unique Hungarian cushions. They flew off the shelves, not before I bought some for my own. A month or two aft

This post celebrates Biederdeier furniture which is made from what is referred to as blonde wood. There are several other "blondes" but this particular style is my favorite. Most often constructed along classical lines, it was usually made of light colored, less expensive woods like elm or fruitwoods, but ash, walnut, maple, birch, beech, and even mahogany examples exist. Black and gold paint was used for embellishment. After Napoleon's final defeat, Europe settled down to a long period of peace. The middle classes, who were prospering, wanted a simpler style, which could be functional as well as beautiful. This style, later known as 'Biedermeier', is essentially Empire furniture shorn of its ormolu mounts, excessive gilding and aggressive self-importance. As Biedermeier is not a traditional Anglo-Saxon style, it often appeals to people in creative professions such as advertising, decorating, and the music and film industries. Elton John furnished his whole house in London with blond Biedermeier furniture and a few Art Deco pieces. Another rock artist to appreciate the style was the late rock singer Freddie Mercury from the band Queen. Biedermeier's subtle appeal lies in its simplicity, which is so easily combined with both Art Deco and contemporary furniture, creating a relaxed mood and informal atmosphere, unlike the many antique styles, which demand a more formal setting. via google Blonde wood comes in several shades.
