We Are Now Closed for the Festive Holidays - We Will Return on Wednesday 3rd January at 10am - We Look Forward to Seeing You in the New Year!

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.

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...

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?)

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...?)

2 blog posts in as many days - told you we've been busy! Lots of blog-worthy goings-on.

Mid-September saw the Tangram team visit the London Design Festival which was inspirational as ever. 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...

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.

Tangram has recently discovered the 3D at Home app  from Montis, which uses new technology to project furniture into your home. To use the Montis app all you need is a tablet or smart phone and the latest catalogue or a printer. The printed sheet or the catalogue serve as dimension controllers, ensuring that the furniture is shown in correct proportion to its environment.

The interface is very user friendly and the digital image is remarkably realistic. Of course we at Tangram could not wait to play with this new toy and quickly projected some Montis furniture into our showroom.

Winter has come! Temperatures are predicted to drop below zero this week, so it is officially...
