Un rouge riche, chaud et intense
October 08 2014TORONTO (Ontario), 29 octobre 2014 - Découvrez la plus récente couleur de la célèbre gamme de peinture décorative d'Annie Sloan - « Burgundy » - un rouge riche, chaud et intense, la couleur des cerises noires (www.anniesloan.com).
Spécialiste de la peinture décorative et auteure de plus de 20 livres sur le sujet, Annie Sloan souligne: « Burgundy est une teinte appréciée depuis toujours, une couleur noble et belle en soi, mais que j'aime particulièrement combiner avec la teinte "Chateau Grey". Il suffit d'y ajouter une touche de "Old White" et elle devient plus moderne; elle prend alors une tonalité rose framboise qui peut ajouter une touche de pep dans une chambre ! »

Launching at the Canadian Market at IDS14
January 17 2014TORONTO, ON, January 17, 2014 - - ACOUSTICS WITH DESIGN, a newly launched company focused on bringing visually enhancing products to the Canadian acoustics sector, today announced its plan to offer a stunning line of decorative sound absorbing wall panels by Wobedo of Sweden to the Canadian marketplace. The decorative acoustic panels, which come in a variety of shapes, sizes, styles and colours, will be shown for the first time in North America during IDS14, Canada's premier showcase of new products, innovative designers and avant-garde concepts, from January 23-26 in Toronto.
Acoustic panels are employed to make noisy rooms more comfortable by absorbing some of the sound and thereby reducing its reverberation time, or in lay language, the "echo". While acoustic panelling is common in large spaces such as auditoriums and arenas, these new decorative panels are ideal for smaller rooms and areas, such as restaurants and bars, boardrooms, meeting rooms, offices, workspaces, study areas, home theatres, playrooms and living areas, to reduce excessive noise reverberation while at the same time beautifying the décor.
