DESIGN

Its catchword is versatility, the result of the best Italian craftsmanship tradition. With Amalong, Giulio Iacchetti scored the second episode of his collaboration with Bross, radically changing the ingredients of the recipe: if Ademar suggests a collection of important tables, with generous dimensions, almost statuesque with their elliptical or round shape, Amalong wants instead to be an eclectic project, attentive to the different needs of use.

KNOW-HOW

Rugs are a type of soft flooring that offer a sense of comfort, warmth, and homeliness. They can be broadly categorized into two groups: mass-produced rugs and handmade rugs.

Although not always the case, mass-produced rugs are generally more affordable and often feature modern and trendy designs. On the other hand, handmade rugs require a significant amount of manual labor to produce and typically come with a higher price tag. Because handmade rugs are frequently crafted in traditional societies like Morocco, Pakistan, and Turkey, they often feature oriental designs. It is worth noting that retailers of handmade rugs typically offer a guarantee regarding the authenticity and construction of their products.

Reader’s question

"I am thinking of purchasing a large dining table 2.00m x 1.00m, which is great for meals and gatherings! Is a square dining table 1.40m x 1.40m comfortable for 8 people? I like French style dining chairs like the ones I have attached. I am thinking of mix n’ match decorating style in my place! I would like a modern sofa with a bergere and a classic dining set in combination! What is your opinion? Thank you in advance"
