Seasons' Club Class furnishings

Wishing all our Trendy readers a very happy I Day and Rakhi!

All through my student life and into the first years as a working woman, I lived on a shoestring. Mattresses doubled up for seating and sleeping. Colourful bandhni and bold prints covered all surfaces. Ready-to-hang curtains billowed in the breeze from the windows.

But now, with a diamond ring on the third finger, I’m ready to move on. A three-piece suite for the living room, a solid wood eight-seater dining table, a leather-headboarded bed. And for upholstery, I’m looking no further than Seasons’ Club Class. One of the premium furnishing brands in the country, Seasons’ Club Class stores — just launched in Bangalore and already a presence in Mumbai, Delhi and Gurgaon — offers five international labels: Saum & Viebahn from Germany, Warwick and Prestigious from the UK, Kobe from the Netherlands and Parzan from Turkey.

Then there’s their Seasons’ own Spring-Summer ‘08 collection, evocatively called ‘Grounded Brights’: Bold designs and colours in striped velvets and jacquards in traditional paisleys, ornamental leatherites in magical neutrals, blends and silks in prints and solids. In all, there are 700 assortments of fabrics, decoratives, accessories, rugs, bedcovers, cushions and artifacts.

I especially loved the Kashmir Chinar leaf logos for my sofa upholstery: They come in four colours, in keeping with the way the leaves change colour with the passage of the year. Now, Seasons will help me keep tab on, well, the seasons!
