A Chair with No ‘Body’?

Posted By: Furniture Reporter  //  Category: News

The ‘Nobody’ chair designed by KOMPLOT DESIGN refers to the ‘shadow’ side of the chair’s life -when it is not in use and covered with a piece of cloth. The cover blurs the shape of the cloth while also making an allusion to it. But on the KOMPLOT “cover” one can sit without the “chair” underneath. The cover is empty – the chair is taken away, but cloth still remembers the chair and keeps the shape of it. A very interesting concept……almost with an eerie edge!

The ‘Nobody’ chair is produced in one single process by thermo pressing the polymer fiber – PET felt mat (without any kind of the frame). The production process neither demands any additives like glues or resins, nor any additional materials like screws or reinforcements. PET felt is 100% recyclable material produced mainly of used soda/water bottles.

Mattresses

Posted By: Furniture Reporter  //  Category: News


Grand Home Furnishings is the area’s largest mattress dealer because more customers buy their mattress sets from us than any other dealer. We offer up to 44 different models to choose from. Our manufacturers are only the best; no second rate mattresses as you will often find at other dealers. Choose from Sealy, Sealy Posturepedic, Sealy SpringFree, Tempur-Pedic, Simmons Beautyrest, Serta, Serta Perfect Sleeper, Serta Perfect Day and Kingsdown.

Grand carries nearly all the mattress types one would want: innerspring, visco-elastic (memory) foam and latex foam rubber mattresses. We have models that are firm, pillow-top, plush and “Euro” pillow-top. Grand provides free delivery up to 100 miles from our store on mattress sets $598 or more. And we’ll take away and properly dispose of your old mattress upon delivery of your new mattress. As a bonus when you buy a mattress set $598 or more, any furniture bought the same day is delivered along with your mattress set for free!

If we placed a photo of each mattress set we carry on this website, they’d all pretty much look the same, so we invite you to come to our stores and see them in person and try them out. When you try out a mattress be sure to get on it entirely and stretch out the way you would when you sleep.
