96 NEW COLLECTION HIGHLIGHTS The new Autumn/Winter 2015 designs breathe new life and soul into four of Timothy Oulton’s iconic design themes; Metro, Age of Elegance, Adventurer and Cigar. These room concepts are designed to provide guidance for customers to discover and develop their own interior style and preferences. Metro Heroes IVY Based on a 1950s flea market find, the Ivy sofa’s organic shape seems to smile at you. Sitting low to the ground, the curves and contours hug the body in all the right places. Expertly crafted and outfitted in sumptuously soft leather with a beautiful worn sheen, it is featured in Vagabond Red; painstakingly treated by hand over and over again to create the most authentic vintage distressed look and feel. A perfect balance of classic and contemporary, Metro is a sophisticated collection designed with a nod to urban energy. Bauhaus meets 1940s industrial with Metro’s juxtaposition of cool, dark tones, sleek, polished pieces and eclectic decorative objects, while classic finishes and detailing retain an air of vintage. SWALLOW Outfitted top to bottom in our hand finished leathers, the Swallow gives a modern, casual take on being ‘dressed for dinner’. The winged sides keep you snug in your seat for hours of conversation over good food and wine.
