Chair Obsession - Launching the latest in designer chairs on-line

If you have been following my blog you will have realised I am obsessed with interior design. I am also a self confessed perfectionist, so meticulous that when choosing a paint colour, the paint chip is fully analysed right down to its tint. Understanding the effect of changing light, swatches are carefully painted around my room so they can be viewed throughout the day. My local paint shop knows me by name and when I insist their Quarter Iron (grey hue) is throwing lavender, they simply roll their eyes. When does passion turn to obsession you might ask? Personally, I think passion turns to obsession when you become so immersed in what you love, you need to find another way of expressing yourself. For me, it was about creating Lee Caroline, a place where I could share my love of interiors and homeware inspiration. For interior designer Julienne Snyders, it was turning her passion for beautiful textiles and chairs into a creative business.

Boca Do Lobo - Exquisite, unique furniture design

I lived in Brunei for almost 8 years and during this time not only was I surrounded by rainforest but also by opulence. While living there I was lucky enough to experience several invitations to the Sultan's Istana (palace) where I was in awe of the incredibly luxurious surroundings. Little gold plated, (yes real gold) shuttle cocks were used as feet on some of the chairs in their gymnasium, I noticed on one visit that a foot was missing and wondered to myself if someone had decided to take a souvenir! Although opulence may not be my personal style, I am always appreciative of unique designs and since leaving Brunei I have not seen such opulence until I discovered Boca Do Lobo, a furniture design company located in Portugal. I hesitate to use the word furniture as their designs are totally unique, more functional pieces of art. 

If luxury is your style and money is no object then just take a look Boca Do Lobo's exquisite, limited edition pieces....

Eden Series - gold plated 

Monochrome - Inspired by monochromatic paintings,  reflected light adds fluidity to these sculptural pieces.
