At Fuse, we live by three tenants:  Beauty, Honesty and Sustainability. Everything we do is examined and evaluated through the lens of these three principals. The Beauty catches our eye, the Honesty draws us in and makes us look closer, and the Sustainability causes us to fall in love.  Our manufacturer and design partners  are amazing examples of what it means to care for our earth. When the design process of a chair begins with a carefully nurtured and managed forest and ends with a beautiful chair that will last a lifetime, that is the epitome of Beauty, Honesty and Sustainability.

This care is further demonstrated by partners who choose to produce their designs from recycled aluminum and polymers and plant based fabrics and wallcoverings. Plastic that pollutes our oceans is now pulled out, processed  and used to create beautiful furniture. All of this takes place in factories that produce zero waste using the excess material to create new products and heat their buildings. These buildings are often strategically located near raw materials to reduce the carbon footprint of shipping.

From the beginning, it has been our intention at Fuse to introduce products that are timeless in design and admired over a lifetime. We believe every day is Earth Day.

ReMake marks a turning point in custom fabric design. By putting the ability to recolour and rework any Panaz print design directly into your hands, ReMake lets you realise your vision for the project you’re working on.

With an easy-to-use layout, ReMake allows you to express your creativity and truly make your design yours. Designing custom prints has never been easier, quicker or more fun and with options for sampling, you can be sure of your design before you send it to production.

Our team is working remotely with access to all of our resources. Showroom visits are available, please coordinate through Jennifer or Ron. To maintain a safe environment we have taken all measures recommended by the CDC for cleaning in our showroom and are following all directives for social distancing.

We will continue to monitor recommendations of local health authorities to guide our actions. We will keep you informed of any changes through the news page of our website. www.fusempls.com/news

Workplace design is going through radical transformations. Residential influences permeate contemporary office design and co-working spaces. Interior Design Magazine sheds light on three products from Andreu World that are playing a role in this design transformation.

Andreu World, a purveyor of stylish furnishings for over 60 years, is one of the leading brands in this new paradigm, regularly coming out with new products that reflect an innate understanding of what the future of workplace design will look like. “The office has become a space in which one lives and coexists—a place that is transformed according to the needs of its occupants throughout the workday,” explains Jesús Llinares, CEO. “It is more and more common today for furniture to transcend the idea of a single use or environment.”

The Nuez Collection

---

Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola introduced the Nuez collection, winner of a Red Dot Award and Interior Design HiP Award, as a group of chairs and stools that serve the sitter. “A chair has a personality and engenders emotional relationships with its users and owners,” Urquiola says. She designed the piece with a graceful back made of ribbed thermopolymer and ample padding. Both the stool and the dining chair are perfect crossover options, equally at home in a boardroom, restaurant, or home.

The Capri Lounge Chair

This Red Dot Award-winning lounge chair by Piergiorgio Cazzaniga features a unique ergonomic shape ideal for seated work in office spaces. It is also highly customizable. The Capri lounge offers several vibrant and on-trend upholstery options, armed or armless options, and an aluminum or steel base finish.

The Dado Sofa

The Dado sofa represents the first collaboration between Andreu World and Swiss designer Alfredo Häberli. This modular sofa won the Best of NeoCon 2018 Silver award and a HiP Award for its clever use of modularity and subtle design details. Dado’s essential pieces can be combined in various configurations to integrate effortlessly into public, work, or private spaces.

Story of an American Company

Since 1921, Boyd Lighting has been manufacturing exquisite lighting fixtures in America.
Because they believe that lasting beauty can best be created by hand, their intent, since the early days in San Francisco, has always been to hand-craft fixtures with characteristics of fine jewelry.
Every member of the talented Boyd team of craftspeople understands and embraces the heritage of almost a century of artistry. 

New fabrics inspired by the design philosophy and culture of Japan

New York, NY—KnollTextiles is pleased to launch Azuma, a textile collection inspired by the balance and harmony found in Japanese design philosophy and culture. The name Azuma means 'East.' Creative Director, Dorothy Cosonas and the design team studied dozens of books researching traditional Japanese motifs, fashion, costuming and arts resulting in 4 upholstery fabrics, Kabuki, Sashiko, Zen Wave and Kaya, that celebrate bold graphic forms and simple subtle beauty.

Supporting the Japanese design concept are 4 vertical products. Noren is the next generation of acoustic sheer with sound absorbing properties. Stencil is an embossed type II vinyl wallcovering while Calm is specialty wallcovering with wool content. Finally, Edo addresses the trend for a heathered natural looking material on the wall for wrapped panel application.  

The products of Azuma blend together beautifully in this cohesive and inspired collection.

For their selection of Products of the Year 2017, Morpholio chose an anti-iconic collection to reflect what we see emerging in culture and the moods of communities and people across the globe. The "anti-iconic" evokes unity and nature.

"These products defy the notion of icon in space and seek to merge people with their surroundings in new ways...and, as always, we are interested in designs that use technology and forward thinking to address impact on the environment,” says Anna Kenoff, Morpholio Co-Creator.

Morpholio Board tracked trends amongst its growing community of professional and non-professional interior designers. The winners distinguished themselves from thousands of products. - See more at: https://carnegiefabrics.com/learn/cat/news/post/morpholio-products-of-the-year/#sthash.cHE3W8lN.dpuf
