Pure Aniline: Most leathers are analine dyed, But only the finest, most beautiful hides are analine dyed and left “naked” creating a sumptuous and soft leather.

Semi-aniline: Sometimes called “protected,” these leathers have a small amount of surface pigment, giving them slightly better protection against stains and fading.

Corrected: These leathers are less costly. The natural top grain is corrected and embossed to create a uniform look. Heavier surface pigment is applied making care of these leathers easier.

Pull-up: Full anilines that have been processed to produce a weathered, or distressed look.

Embossed: Varying grades of leather can be embossed to create natural looking textures or artistic patterns. textures.

Why Top Grain is Tops

LEATHER FURNITURE PRICES are largely determined by the quality or grade of the leather, and leathers are graded by the size, location and extent of the natural blemishes like wrinkles and scars that are inherent in all natural hides.

Hides are separated into layers. “The very top layer is known as the top grain, and if you were to examine the top layer under a microscope, you would see fibers running in every direction, making the top grain layer of the very, very strong,” says a Contemporary Design Group leather expert.

Blending contemporary home furnishings with your favorite antiques and other styles you love

THERE ARE MANY reasons to love modern and contemporary style. Whether you came of age in an era when designers like Charles and Ray Eames and Milo Baughman were first beginning to celebrate form and function by incorporating plas- tics, bent veneers and lighter weight materials into useable objects, or at a time when we carry more technology in our back pocket than those masters of mid-century design could ever have imagined, something in the sleek shapes, clean lines and cool curves appeals.

Even so, few of us experience only one true love in our lives. “Most people are not strictly one style or another,” relates one style expert. And, like that box of photographs, ticket stubs and love letters from past relationships tucked away on the top shelf of the closet we never get around to disposing of, we consumers tend to collect all sorts of “things” over time.

HowPoint and where to  nd accessories to give your home a  nished, pulled-together look.

WITH CLEAN LINES and shapes akin to modern art forms, well-designed contemporary styles look right at home in nearly every space, and are beautifully compatible with just about everything else we own. The jewelry, or accessories, added to a room makes it home.

Striking the balance between too few and too many accents is key in creating a well- dressed home. This in mind, we turned to a number of contemporary design experts to seek advice on what may feel like a bit of a conundrum: How does one go about properly accessorizing a space without overdoing it?

Dressing for Success

“I think of decorative accessories the way French women wear scarves,” a contemporary design maven described. “She gets up in the morning and puts on the same, well-designed black dress nearly every day, but she throws on her Hermès scarf one day, or the Khai scarf she picked up in Vietnam another, and that’s what makes her entire outfit.

“If you think of the major pieces in your room as the canvas, or little black dress, or jeans and T-shirt,” she continues, “the accessories you choose are the jewelry and shoes. They are the great scarves that you put on that can take the room to the next level. Accessories give your home a finished, pulled together look that make it really feel the way you want it to.”

Still says another designewr, as clean a look as contemporary design is, don’t be afraid to ask for professional assistance to achieving the A pop of color from the lamp shines perfect balance. the spotlight on this chair.

GREAT CONTEMPORARY DESIGN comes in all shapes and sizes. That’s particularly good news for many as urban centers are growing faster than their suburban counterparts.

Driving the changing numbers are waves of empty nesters seeking to downsize, as well as young professionals following opportunities in the job markets. Both groups are in search of the vibrant lifestyles cities afford, with easy access to public transportation, culture, restaurants, nightlife and more.

The trade-off, of course, for people living in urban environments is that space becomes limited. Maximizing it in the most stylish and efficient way is where contemporary style’s emphasis on design innovation, function and performance really shines.

“We specialize in furniture that is compact and multi-functional and we can offer alternatives for people who have spatial problems that they didn’t have, say, 10 or 15 years ago,” says a Contemporary Design Group member devoted to providing shoppers with practical solutions that are easy to live and work with.

Short on Dimensions, Big on Style

When space is at a premium, every inch counts. Know what you’ve got to work with and be prepared to share the information with a design consultant. It’s helpful to go to a store with rough dimensions of your living space, Most Contemporary Design Group showrooms offer free, in-home design consultations and will gladly take the measurements for you, eliminating any guesswork in the process.

The next order of business is to determine how you want to use the area you have. Often, when space is limited, a room serves A.L.F. o€ ers wall units featuring a myriad of cubbies. more than one function. Do you want to sleep in the space, or will you need to accommodate overnight guests? How about dining and entertaining?

Like Clark Kent ducking into a phone booth and emerging as Superman, many of today’s innovative furniture designs are quick-change artists that can smoothly segue from one function to another. Imagine a glass-topped extension table with leaves stored inside the table. When a longer dining surface is called for, the leaves roll out and pop up into place, then tuck back in when the party is over. Or, a coffee table on rollers with a lift top that easily morphs into a movable dining area then shifts back out of the way.

Storage invariably remains an issue for anyone living in a small space. Thankfully Contemporary Design Group design professionals have more than a few tricks up their sleeves to maximize available space. They can use vertical space by moving up the wall with bookcases and wall units that act as room dividers. Or, they can create a bedroom where none exists with sleeper sofas that are comfortable enough to sleep on every night, and find additional storage opportunities with beds that feature deep drawers hidden beneath.

Four Surprising Health Benefi ts

1. Longer Life Expectancy Did you know that you can live longer simply by standing up more and sitting down less? The Sit-Stand Desk Studies show that active people have a longer life expectancy than their sedentary counter- Rise with the touch of a button. parts. Sitting at a desk for long periods of time can actually cause physical harm. As you sit, fat accumulates in your heart, liver, brain and other organs. Your muscles lose their tone and defi nition, and your body tires more easily.

Sitting also places more pressure or “static” loading on the upper body than standing. Standing relieves the pressure on your back by 40%. So rather than growing tired in a seated position, why not give your back a rest by standing for a short time.

2. Burn More Calories How many calories can you burn by switch- ing from a sit-down desk to a stand-up desk? More than you think. A Sit-Stand Desk can help you avoid the health pitfalls of sitting down all day. In fact, you can burn up to a third more calories during the course of a seven hour workday if you stand up. If you are trying to lose or manage your weight, the calories can really add up.
