Easter:  an excuse for many to eat inordinate amounts of chocolate.  We get our kicks elsewhere; for example in finding an excuse to showcase some lovely products that are inadvertently Easter themed...

This week, Managing Director Julian takes the Tangram Talk reigns and gives some expert advice on incorporating blind installation into the early stages of architectural planning and design...

Contemporary residential architecture displays a preference for large expanses of glass, allowing the occupiers to enjoy a great outlook and flooding the interior with natural light.  However, the cost may be a lack of privacy and the need at times to screen out excess light and heat.

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.

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.

Today's house tour comes to you courtesy of one of our favourite Italian manufacturers. As the only retailer in Scotland to supply B&B Italia, we thought it was only fitting to showcase this stunning rural home decked out in some of the brand's latest pieces.

One of our favourite blogs for interior inspiration is Design Files, the perfect place to soak up some Australian design. The home of interior designer Paul Hecker caught our eye because of the beautiful mix of Scandinavian style with sleek, Italian furniture. The effect is a contemporary style that is elegant but still feels at home in a sunny, relaxed environment such as St Kilda, Melbourne.

The corporate work place has seen a dramatic change in attitude within the last few years. The work dynamic has changed, become more relaxed and nurturing, with creative giants such as Apple, Microsoft and Google leading the way. Employee motivation has refocused so that an employee is no longer expected to sit in a cubical with their head down but is encouraged to seek communication, inspiration and enjoyment through their work.

This shift is mirrored in the interior design of offices, as more break out areas are created, vibrant colours are added and nature is brought inside. The new energetic and comfortable workplace is meant to make the employees feel at home, away from home. With contemporary breakout furniture becoming the centrepiece of many contract interior designs.

Designed by the Finnish interior magazine Deko as part of the Housing Fair Finland, this home is the epitome of Scandinavian style. The look is dominated by a monochromatic colour scheme with white, black and wood. The furniture channels the same look, adding minimal and functional design. Between the furniture and the high ceiling, the overall effect is one of understated luxury.

The furniture used predominantly to create this look is by the German manufacturer e15. Their Backenzahn stools, a classic e15 design,  are here being used as side tables and the beautiful wooden armchair is the Eugene.
