Festive Furnishings
T-10 days - the countdown is on to get your home Christmas-ready! We've put together a few furnishings that could perfect your festive setting...
Swedese's Tree can add a very subtle wintery feel. The versatile product can easily hold its own or works well with some decorative fairy lights to create a more Christmas-like setting. The Tree is available in a variety of colours and is shown below in white in one of our show apartments for Quartermile, Edinburgh.

Spotlight: MARK Product
Tangram have been working with MARK Product for many years and it is a pleasure to watch the company and brand grow stronger every year. Founded by John Miller and Anna Hart in 2008, Mark Product is based in Penryn in Cornwall which gives the company a unique DNA. Much of the products are designed in Cornwall and many are made there too.
Our early favourite products from the collection were the Horizon screen made in solid timber which creates fabulous shadows and is a beautiful piece, the clever Spin table with its magnetic fixings and the Arris armchair with a solid timber frame and soft cushions which is fast becoming a classic. Recent additions which we think are going to prove very popular are as follows;
'Flag' table and bench – a combination of slab ended tables and benches in laminate with a clever mitred joint and hardwood edge, a great idea to ensure a hardy product and available in a huge range of colours.

Projects in Brief
In recent weeks Tangram have been busy as ever working with a wide variety of clients. We thought we'd keep you in the loop and give you a quick insight into some of the contemporary contract furniture projects we've been working on.
A particularly popular product of late has been the fabulous 'Airflake' acoustic panel from Abstracta. With acoustic properties and available in different colours and shapes, the composition possibilities are endless! One client impressed by such was Standard Life who we fitted the panels for this month.

Spotlight: Roset Revamp
Yes - we are singing the praises of another one of our manufacturers but hey, we wouldn't supply them if they weren't praise-worthy. This week it's Ligne Roset's time to shine...

Spotlight: Fritz Hansen
With the unveiling of the limited edition Egg™ chair and Jaime Hayon's restoration of Arne Jacobsen's original designs in the iconic SAS Royal Hotel, things have been particularly Fritzy of late. To tickle your Tangram fancy this week we thought we'd stick to this main theme but discuss a different Fritz-filled hotel (did someone say alliteration?)

Trend: Over-Exposure…
Exposed light bulbs... We know they've been a prevalent interiors feature for a couple of years now, but particularly so recently. There's definitely a mixed bag of opinions on the trend so we've chosen some images in different settings to try and capture its best light (see what we did there...?)

An opportunity to escape our desks, in our Edinburgh interior design showroom, and see what's happening in the wider world. London was bubbling with enthusiasm and excitement for all things ‘design’ and we managed to cram in an impressive amount in 2 short days. Here come the highlights...

Blinds: Safety First
With the recent introduction of new legislation on blind cords and child safety, we’re focusing on the importance of blind safety. Blinds are an essential part of many interiors as they provide privacy while still allowing light to shine through and keep the place feeling bright! But... Keeping safe with the correct blinds is equally as important.
