All in the Details: 
The Designs of Jonathan Franc


Dovetail joints and mortise and tenon construction have never been so sultry.  One glance at a Jonathan Franc piece and you know it is something worth talking about.  Shagreen detailing on tabletops and the combination of acrylic with rich woods, such as Macassar Ebony, are working testaments of quality traditional craftsmanship in a modern application.

What Ligné has come to admire the most about this new collection is the passion behind it.  Lead designer John Bossone set out to create timeless pieces that will live on for generations to come - and make a lasting impact every step of the way.  As a truly vertical company they allow designers to use them as a tool to create the ideal piece for their project.  Whether a designer needs a specific size or finish, or a completely custom design, the sky is the limit and the answer is always yes.  Style, quality and unlimited possibilities - what else could one ask for?

Ligné Agency Brings the Hottest Acrylic Furniture in Europe to the US


Tired of the "Ghost Chair"?  So are we!  Acrila is about to give you an entirely new perspective on the power of plexi - brought to you by the amazingly talented Isabelle and Jean Christophe Bernard and their power team of French design icons - Jean Charles de Castelbajac, Vincent Poujardieu, Carlo Rampazzi and Patrick Lavoix.  From their French Baroque inspired dining chairs to romantic feather motifs, these pieces are becoming the talk of the design world, and quickly making the Ghost Chair...well...disappear.

Curves to Die For

It has been a while since I have walked into a showroom that actually made me stop in my tracks in complete design euphoria.  There is no other word for Christopher Guy's new Beverly Hills showroom besides breathtaking - absolutely breathtaking.  In an industry that seems to indulge in a consistent lack of imagination with their "modern" twists on traditional designs, Christopher Guy is finally a breath of fresh air.  His pieces are undeniably unique, with his signature Chris-X legs and sensuous curves...they leave more than enough to be desired.


What has struck me most about this collection is the transitional versatility that he brings.  From a French Chateau to a Downtown Loft, these pieces deserve a cameo in every home.
