The Meurice collection is a natural extension for Adler, who made the chinese chippendale chair one of his signature pieces. Chunky, brightly painted shiny bamboo is a fun accent to a room and it provides loads of personality.




The Thornhill collection showcases a lacquer gloss and great texture from the linen.
