The arrival of autumn heralds the ideal time to explore Arteriors’ latest AW24 collection, where lighting transcends functionality to becomes the centrepiece of any room. Renowned for seamlessly blending craftsmanship with innovation, the luxury brand introduces a range of lighting that glows from within, infusing warmth and style to any environment. More than just illumination, these statement pieces are designed to define spaces, create focal points, and transform the ambiance of a room. Featuring a dynamic combination of natural materials and textures, this collection is crafted to capture attention and elevate interiors throughout the UK.
Table lamps offer a unique opportunity to experiment with material contrasts, especially given their prominent placement at eye level within the home. The Chanell table lamp is a masterclass of this approach, where the gleam of metallic finishes meets the timeless elegance of marble. Its tapered brass shade not only reflects light but also diffuses it, casting a glow that transforms any space. This interplay between materials makes the Chanell a versatile piece, seamlessly enhancing contemporary and classic interiors.
Pendant lighting offers an unparalleled opportunity to showcase innovative crafting techniques, becoming a focal point in any room. The Large Indi Chandelier draws inspiration from the rugged beauty of nature, merging traditional motifs with eye-catching, unconventional design. Its expansive dimensions command attention but its intricate craftsmanship is what sets it apart. Indi is composed of a white iron foundation encased in matching white coconut wood, intricately carved to mimic the silhouette of a cactus. Each arm is adorned with clusters of coconut shells which create captivating shadow patterns, adding depth and drama to any interior.
Floor lamps provide a playful canvas for exploring shapes and forms, thanks to their elongated structure. The Elvis table lamp illustrates how industrial elements can be reimagined to create visual intrigue. The lamp’s gear-like structure serves as both a bold anchor and a source of compelling shadows, adding depth and dimension to your space. The lamp balances impactful geometry with a soft, diffused glow bringing spaces to life with texture, contrast, and character.

Christmas is the season for classic design, yet at sofa.com, we recognise the demand for a contemporary look when entertaining during the festive season. This year, retailers and designers can inspire clients to combine traditional warmth with sleek, modern accents, creating a refined and memorable Christmas dining experience.
For clients with nostalgic elements in their space, such as an open fireplace or herringbone flooring, consider balancing these with modern, complementary pieces like exposed light fixtures. A rustic dining table, for example, gains sophistication when paired with plush velvet chairs, achieving an elegant, contrasting look that appeals to those seeking both comfort and style.
Additionally, thoughtful colour schemes add impact to the space. If clients opt for a timeless red and green palette, incorporating these colours into modern pieces offers a fresh and updated twist on a classic look. This season, blend traditions with current trends for a truly elevated festive setting.
At sofa.com we explore different aesthetics and design schemes to cater to everyone’s taste.

Adelise Morgan-Scully, Senior Design Manager at Elementi Cucina has given her insights into the industry. Elementi Cucina was created by our Design Director Katie Lusty. Katie’s life changed suddenly due to devastating personal circumstances and a move back to Wales, from London was necessary. Katie has a wealth of experience in the Interiors industry and set up Elementi Cucina in Cardiff as a one woman show, quickly gaining clients locally with her passion, flair for design and exceptional interpersonal skills. Danni joined shortly after when the projects really started to roll in, a welder by trade, she is the glue of our operation and keeps the wheels turning in the ordering department. Adelise followed 3 years into the business, an award winning, experienced designer and is based covering our London and Southeast Projects.
Elementi Cucina is quite unlike any other interiors company, we are studio based in central Cardiff and Windsor. We travel to meetings on site armed with an array of samples and bring the showroom to our clients, even going so far as to fly them out to Italy to view the production set up and select their finishes and visit the stone yards in the UK to personally hand select their beautiful granite or marble stone cladding.
We predominantly work with developers, interior designers and architects and have built the business on repeat clients and recommendations. We focus on these relationships whole heartedly, developing them into friendships thus making work lots of fun and not really seem like work at all. This gives us freedom and keeps overheads low allowing us to be exceptionally competitive in our pricing. Personally, overseeing each project and working closely with our clients and their clients the end users too.
The brand Elementi Cucina is very much based around stunning high end Italian Design, when Elementi Cucina was in its infancy Katie wanted to create a design team that were highly skilled and experienced giving our clients a luxury service and making the project experience with us a seamless and enjoyable one. Relationships over her vast career in the industry and her experience were the key to this, in securing the right partners to work with to give our clients the choice, quality and stunning interior species from concept to completion.
Due to being a completely independent company we can supply and create totally individual interiors, tailored to the clients wants and desires perfectly. An example of this was a recent project in Dorset. The client came to us with the following brief – ‘I want a truly bespoke reclaimed wood and galvanised steel kitchen, reminiscent of outback buildings back home in Australia,’ before adding ‘Fully loaded with uber cool Wolf & Sub-Zero appliances, concrete worktops and a walk-in larder’. The brief was detailed yet open to Katie’s creative input in terms of colours, finishes and the small yet important details, such as the seating area, integrated chopping blocks and storage configuration. The client had been to numerous Interior design companies before approaching Elementi Cucina and was told the same thing ‘Sorry we can’t do that’ Katie Lusty, Design Director at Elementi Cucina, on meeting the client said ‘Hell yeah! We can do that’ and then set about designing and creating a truly unique, showstopping kitchen, with the client on board for the entire wild ride from conception to completion. The kitchen won a national award and truly showcases just how bespoke you can go.
We believe that with a combined 45+ years in the industry, Adelise & Katie, bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to each project, we ensure that we keep up to date with the current trends, technical innovations and bring these to our clients creating beautiful yet well thought out and workable interior spaces.
We often get involved in project at an early stage and love working and collaborating with Interior Designers and adore the fact they come back to us time and time again, forming lasting relationships and friendships too! We truly do collaborate in terms of working together to creatively fuse together ideas and create functional spaces for our joint clients to enjoy for years to come.
This would have to be us winning a prestigious design award for the truly unique project Homestead Farm. It was a real honour to be not only nominated as a finalist but to win the award and get recognition for the hard work as an all-female team. It really did boost us all and we are so proud of what has been achieved with Elementi Cucina since we started 8 years ago.
Our recent trip to the Milan 2024 design fair kept us up to date with the up and coming trends, we even took clients out to Italy with us to the fair, there were some absolutely amazing new innovations which our clients are now including within their stunning Welsh new build project, the most stunning is a beautiful timber wall with a hidden door… which we predict will be huge in coming years, it was so technically brilliant yet, sleek discreet and looks beautiful!
Although recent years have been challenging with the housing market, were seeing a strong growth starting to come back this year, we are constantly evolving as a company and introducing new innovations for our discerning clients. We believe the industry is a constantly evolving one and the trends from our Milan trip are now coming through to the market, with deep rich burgundy colours with stunning textured woods, giving an atmospheric and tactile look to interiors in the coming years.
Absolutely we have recently introduced some fantastic new Italian lines to our ranges, including Kitchens, Wardrobes, Bathrooms, stunning new innovative Stones and even Garden Kitchens! We’re using all of them on new projects and can’t wait to see the first installs coming up soon, watch this space…
For us it’s about belonging to a trade body that is recognised throughout the industry, but also that they support and promote great design and share their members achievements and projects so fantastically well, for us it’s an honour to be part of such a wonderful partnership and one we feel is hugely beneficial to us and our clients.

This summer, sofa.com invites designers to rejuvenate living spaces by blending the retro sun-soaked vibes of Miami Vice with the contemporary soft, inviting hue of peach fuzz.
Start summer transitions with a mint pastel sofa, setting the perfect backdrop for the fruity shade. The delicate balance of mint and peach creates a harmonious and refreshing environment, ideal for relaxation. Mix and match different scatter cushions and when the seasons change, simply swap out the pastel cushions for darker, moodier tones to keep your living room looking fresh and on-trend.
Adorn your walls with fruit illustration artwork. These pieces not only echo the peach theme but also add a summery vibe to your living room and just like the cushions, can be switched out depending on the season. Incorporating a geometric patterned rug ties the room together with clean lines and a contemporary design that complements pastel palettes, adding a touch of retro sophistication. Complete your peach fuzz styled room with soft, cashmere throws patterned with contrasting prints for a playful edge.
Each of sofa.com’s frames comes with a lifetime guarantee and is delivered to your door in 4-6 weeks.
Marble is one of interior designer’s most timeless materials and now global provider of luxury homewares, Arteriors, has released a collection heroing the majestic material but with an innovative twist.
Each piece in the new collection is formed from concrete, with the marble facade created by a process called hydrographics; a method of applying designs to surfaces by carefully dipping the piece into a tank with a 3D printed hydrographic film which transfers onto the item.
Not only does this create a marble-look that weighs nearly half as much as the average marble item, but the technique also saves mining the precious stone and reduces our ecological footprint.* As each piece is hand-finished using hydrodipping, they will all have their own unique veining and colour variations.
Offering a sophisticated softness and delicate veining detail, this finish is one of the most favoured ways of injecting Italian Greco styling into interiors. The SS24 marble collection consists of furniture pieces, including coffee tables, dining tables and consoles, available in Jade, Sahara, Black, Verde colourways. These dramatic pieces can be presented in a contemporary manner when paired with more textural materials including bouclé and warm, grained wood. The Ausutine console table would work beautifully in playful, neoclassical bathroom settings whereas the Zahara Drink Table offers a subtle nod to trend.
With the collection of marble-finished designs successfully showcased to press and interior designers both residential and commercial at Paris Deco Off and London Design Week, Arteriors is looking forward to its last few months showcasing these marble pieces before the arrival of AW24 in August’s showroom reset.
*Average weight of marble furniture is 40-100kg, Arteriors collection weight between 17kg-73kg. See source here.
Oxley’s first new furniture collection for 5 years, Petrosphere, is inspired by the enigmatic stone spheres left behind by the Neolithic peoples of Scotland. These curious stones are an integral feature in the new design and are a key detail on the armrests of the chairs, sofas and lounge chairs. As well as looking timelessly elegant, they offer a sense of enhanced comfort and relaxation when gripped and handled by anyone seated.
Simon Hudson, Managing Director of Oxley’s Furniture, became mesmerised by these ancient artefacts. “It fascinated me that these ancient people went to the trouble of carving intricate patterns in stone just for the sake of it. They must have enjoyed the texture and the reassurance the finished stones gave. From this thought sprang my initial idea for the chair armrest, to have a Petrosphere-like-sphere that can be held and played with as you sit and relax in the chair.”
Oxley’s furniture is designed and built to be as timeless as the Petrospheres themselves. Produced by craftsmen using recycled aluminium, the furniture can be left outdoors all year round and is guaranteed to last a lifetime. Items are exported from Oxley’s factory in the Cotswolds to private residences around the world and Oxley’s collections can also be found in a number of boutique hotels which value the brand’s timeless design, sustainability and lifetime guarantee.
The new furniture is available in 3 sizes consisting of a round table, lounge chairs, sofa and coffee table. It will be available to purchase online from 1st May and will be displayed at the Oxley’s stand WA 186 at the 2024 RHS Chelsea Flower Show from 20-25 May. Do come and try out the new Petrosphere furniture range for yourself!
