cushion fever

Josh — Wed, 02 May 2012 05:55:44 +0000

In further preparation for the winter weather gathering around us, and in anticipation of collective curling up on couches, we are launching a new, entry-level range of cushions to accompany you in your cosy endeavours.

Available in pillow size (45cm x 65cm) and cushion size (45cm x 45cm), they feature prints of the Samburu people of Kenya on cotton with a feather insert. So if there’s any spare real estate on your couch or bed – I’m sure you know what to do…

Furry little heroes

I would just like to say thankyou to mother nature for inventing our furry little Andean friends, the Vicuna. Without your beautifully fine and luxuriously soft wool, where would I be during the bleak Melbourne winter I can feel approaching? My only gripe is that you just didn’t make enough of those woolly fellas to go around. I mean we seriously struggle to keep up with the demand in these chilly times. Rarer than hen’s teeth… finer than cashmere… in a range of digital prints. Behold…

I’ve been busy out in the workshop with my painting clothes on transforming these iron mirror frames into something a bit more exciting.

It was fiddly, time consuming and messy but we love the finished product!

exciting lighting

In case you haven’t received a copy of our latest newsletter, we’re featuring an awe-inspiring display of a new lighting concept in our window at the moment…

They come in three different sizes. The large is 140cm high and 110cm in diametre ($2500). The medium is 115cm high and 80cm in diametre ($2200). The small is 100cm high and 60cm in diametre ($1500). Various colours are also available as you can see!

We love them!

Patchie!

Here’s a sneaky peak at the latest addition to our chair collection… an absolute beauty!

It’s currently featuring in our window display but we imagine that it won’t be there for long as there is a waiting list of folks wanting one of these since our last patchwork armchair. There are obvious reasons why chairs like this only come along once in a blue moon. The first being that it takes forever to collect enough fabric scraps to make one, and the second being that it’s an arduous task arranging the scraps thoughtfully so that the patches work together as a harmonious whole. I think you’ll agree that this is an amazing piece of furniture…

we’re back…

It was with a deep sigh of relief, and the realisation that we need a holiday, that we arrived home from our recent trip to India.

It was a non-stop grueling slog through factories and warehouses for ten days… some new suppliers…

… some old… and some we’ve decided to say goodbye to.

More than any year past, I’m feeling super excited about all the new products and styles we’ll be introducing you all to throughout the coming year. I can barely stand the wait for it all to arrive!

We don’t like to boast…

Hey… who are we kidding? We love to boast!

And we are rightfully proud of some of the latest additions to our cushion collection! Who doesn’t love an elephant bum? These are exclusive to fenton&fenton… digitally printed on high quality linen, double sided and with a feather insert. Superb.

We’ll keep you posted as more of these cushion masterpieces appear on our shelves

Big thanks…

Well, we’re exhausted but exhilarated!

We want to say a huge THANKYOU to everyone who came down and showed so much support for our first warehouse sale ever. There were some amazing bargains and we hope everyone loves whatever treasure they decided to buy.

Without all of your support it just wouldn’t have been worthwhile, but as it stands it was a major success, and we’ve cleared lots of room for many more exciting goodies that are, or will soon be on their way!

Inaugural warehouse sale

Josh — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 23:48:04 +0000

As many of you will be aware, Lucy’s two great loves are travelling to places, and buying stuff. Unfortunately this does create a storage problem and with the exorbitant cost of renting commercial space to keep it in, the only solution seems to be to clear a bit of space in our current warehouse space across the road from the store at 458 High Street Prahran.

This will be a three day only event, with some pretty serious discounts on offer… first in best dressed!

About to land…

Josh — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 06:00:51 +0000

Coming soon… some amazing new lighting ideas.

The globe version will be available in a variety of colours, while the chandelier style will be available in three sizes and a variety of colours. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for the new shipment announcement!
