This may not strictly be a new chair, but we have covered the Ingrid chair from Jardan in a charcoal linen and added a black fringe for a completely different look. The simple shape of this chair lends itself to a host of environments and it is comfortable too. We have teamed it here with a Designers Guild wallpaper and cushions, plus a simple but striking curtain and a quirky mirror just for fun.

Artist in residence
New to the PHI showroom is a selection of beautiful works by Sydney artist Scott Petrie. His work is recognised internationally, and is admired in both residential and commercial spaces. Scott takes his inspiration from his travels - this piece 'forbidden Love' was inspired by his time spent in Morocco. You can see more of Scott's work at www.scottpetrieart.com or come in to our showroom.

Wahroonga Home
We completed this home at the end of '08 for a family of six after they returned from living in the U.K. This is the second home we have worked on for this family which is a lot more classic.
The powderoom is a study in brown. Beautiful Dark Emperodor marble, 'stringy' grasspaper & Luxe Ebony timber veneer
This quirky nest of 2 tables was designed as a practical and modern solution. The glass and steel contrast with the classic shape of the armchair which is covered in a modern cut velvet from Europe
You can see here that the colours were inspired by the Persian rug. The generous sofa is covered in a beautiful velvet from the U.S and the curtains are simply elegant in silk
The kitchen in this home is definitely the hub. The family can congregate around it - there are classic bentwood stools on the other side. The satin polyurethane in Dulux Linseed and Luxe Ebony timber veneer combine to create a contemporary and timeless look
The exterior hints at the classic direction inside. We designed the front door as a grand gesture which the builder made for the clients
