Episodes
Spring Home Refresh
Spring is the ideal time to rethink how you choose furniture. This episode from LaGrange Interiors, a luxury furniture retailer in South Africa, looks at why seeing pieces styled in a showroom changes the way you buy. We cover how scale, proportion and spatial flow only become clear in a room setting, and why wood grain, upholstery texture and the weight of a table can't be judged on a screen. We also talk about comfort, from seat depth to firmness, and the instinctive connection that often guides the right choice. For a spring refresh we suggest updating one or two layers rather than starting again, such as a lighter occasional chair, a distinctive armchair, a sculptural coffee table, mirrors or statement lighting, and building around one strong anchor piece. Hear how a visit to the Johannesburg or Cape Town showroom lets you compare finishes and combinations with the design team before you commit.
Seasonal Refresh_ New Arrivals at La Grange Interiors
A new season is the perfect moment for a considered refresh. This episode explores the latest collection from 101 Copenhagen, available exclusively in South Africa through La Grange Interiors, a luxury furniture retailer with showrooms in Johannesburg and Cape Town. We look at how the Danish brand blends Scandinavian furniture design with Japanese minimalism, and at the new pieces joining the range. The Crown Table arrives in Caramel and the Ishi Glass Coffee Table comes in Smoked Forest, Caramel and High Glaze Birch, both made with mouth-blown glass. For decorative lighting we cover the Beetle Portable Lamp, a rechargeable and dimmable lamp with a chrome shade and crystallised marble legs, and the Pearl Floor Lamp in Brass with its opal glass orb. Hear why seeing these designer pieces in a showroom makes the difference.
