Margaux dining chair in Deep Turquiose Velvet £540

The Exchange’s resident hair stylists, Exchange Barbers, celebrated their two-year anniversary recently, having developed a loyal and extensive clientele despite the challenging conditions over the last 12 months. The salon was a first venture for owners Tim Neal and Rajan Landa, who drew on their extensive experience in men’s haircare to open in The Exchange in 2019.

COME DINE WITH ME

Launched as part of their SS 21 collection, sofa com have introduced two new dining seating designs. Ready to be upholstered in a luxurious, eye catching fabric of choice, the Coco and Margaux will add a touch of chic to your humble abode.

Inspired by Art Deco design, Margaux adds Gatsby-style glamour to home décor and mealtimes, with its sleek curved back and polish wooden frame. Coco sees opulent, sweeping curves embellished with blind button detailing and a cut-out leg feature, and bring a boutique hotel elegance to a space.

Patricia Gibbons, from the design team at sofa.com commented: “The way in which we live in our homes is ever evolving but the two factors that we universally appreciate are comfort and style. As everything is increasingly on show, the furniture we choose now has to meet our practical needs but look fabulous while doing so. Both these new styles offer timelessly elegant shapes and look particularly good in accent coloured fabrics which will add personality and draw the eye in your interior scheme.”
