Improving your space with a Born Chesterfield and De Lende

Furniture in the right colours and textures are always great to improve your space. However, finding a way to bring the room together can be a time consuming and not always a successful venture. Luckily, we are always on the lookout for something different to ensure opulence in your space. We at Born Furniture suggests a De Lende paired with your Chesterfield. One of De Lende’s fine-art photographs can take your room to the next level.

Born Furniture is proud to announce that we are collaborating with photographer Koos van der Lende to help you uplift your living space into something unusual. De Lende is a leading South African landscape fine art photographer. After completing his studies at the School of Photography in The Hague, Netherlands, he returned to Southern Africa where his passion for photography was born. Having spent the last 29 years devoted to his vision, he has now completely abandoned the studio for the outdoors where he spends most of his year photographing series of limited edition Fine Art Pieces also featured in sought after magazines. De Lende often gets commissioned by the South-African Post Office for their limited edition stamps.

Working from Pretoria, South Africa, he mostly shoots in panoramic format using the film and darkroom processing techniques. Typically, De Lende’s pictures blend natural and artificial lighting sources, with minimal intervention afterwards. The De Lende prints meet international art standards. Furthermore, these artworks are Giclée prints on fine-art paper to achieve superior archival quality.

By pairing a genuine Born furniture chesterfield sofa with a De Lende photograph you create an opulent visual experience in your space. After choosing your Chesterfield sofa, it is time to hand-pick your leather. We suggest a Timberland Rosewood skin or a full grain Whiskey Pull-up leather to compliment the hues in the art piece. If you feel a little more adventurous you can always go for a Midnight Ocean, Self healing Ruby Red or even a Born Forrest Green.

Another extraordinary piece to have in your midst, is De Lende’s coffee table book “Moments of Grace”. Moments of Grace is a majestic collection of De Lende’s photographs, documenting a decade of intimate work to unveil the secret landscapes of Africa. A perfect conversation starter amongst friends that also enjoy the finer things in life.

We have the “Mozambique, Niassa, Aloe, Mawii” De Lende photograph on display in our showroom. For viewing this fine art masterpiece, or if you’d like to talk to us about pairing it with one of our Chesterfield sofa’s. please feel free to contact us for an appointment.

It also compliments your home’s unique personality by bringing out certain characteristics. Interior design plays a key role in the functionality of your building. It is the process of shaping the experience of interior space. When doing interior design, it is necessary to think of the house or business space as a totality. One needs to keep design elements in mind and ensure that these elements complement one another. Let me mention the different elements with a short description.

The different design elements that you have to keep in mind is; balance, rhythm, details and an ascendant focal point in your space. Balance is important for the equal distribution of visual weight in a room. A focal point must be dominant to draw attention. It must also be interesting enough to encourage the viewer to look further. Rhythm is defined as continuity, recurrence or organized movement. Lastly, everything is in the details from the trimming on the lampshade to choosing the correct lighting.

In my opinion, when it comes to design, colour is more important than any other element. Taking a look at interior design trends, the colour trends at the moment are warm hues of pastel pinks paired with rose gold. A Barlow Chesterfield, master crafted in ballerina pink leather works really well. By adding a rose quartz or two, it can be a good addition to the texture and soulful energy in the room.

Seeing that Serenity blue is the pantone of the year we suggest a sand and blue color combination. Another combination you can try is the Strauss Chesterfield in Gazelle Taupe Leather against a Royal Blue accent wall. Create an upbeat rhythm with some blue and grey scatter cushions with a voluptuous throw for the cold winter nights.

Born Furniture’s Chesterfield sofa collection are for the individuals with great taste. With so many different colours and types of leathers to choose from, the colour combinations for your space are endless.
