Designer Beds for Charity Campaign kicks off

The art of sleep with Sealy Posturepedic

Bed manufacturer Sealy is calling on New Zealanders to get in to bed for a good cause this October.

For the second consecutive year, Sealy is supporting the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation (NZBCF) with help from four leading creative local talents.

Masters in their own fields, Artist ASKEW ONE (Elliot ODonnell), fashion designers Denise LEstrange-Corbet from WORLD and Juliette Hogan, along with interior designer LeeAnn Yare have now mastered the art of sleep by designing a bespoke fabric panel for a Sealy Posturepedic Exquisite bed.

The four Exquisite beds will be listed on TradeMe between 15 and 28 October with the entire proceeds donated to the NZBCF to help fund research and support women with breast cancer.

Each fabric panel is very different with designs ranging from bright polka dots and monochrome to pastel chevrons and fine art geometric prints.

Sealy NZ marketing manager Jenni Gaze says, We are thrilled to be working with these exceptional artists and really appreciate the time and skill that has gone in to creating the designs. For the second year running, we have some talented individuals working alongside us on the campaign and we are really looking forward to watching the auctions on Trade Me.

We are proud to be associated with such a deserving charity. Sealy and the NZBCF both believe in the importance of wellbeing and sleep is an integral part of that, Ms Gaze says. Were eager to see New Zealanders get behind such a worthwhile cause, knowing the proceeds will benefit a significant number of New Zealand women.

Van Henderson, chief executive of the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation, is thrilled to have Sealy NZ on board for a second year with such a creative initiative.

EXPERT ADVICE: On a coffee table, try a simple spray of flowers in a glass vase, a statement book and a few objects in different materials.

Greg Natale, an award winning Australian designer,offers some of his top interior tips.

PAINT

Natale tends to use a low-sheen finish paint, which he says is easy to wipe clean.

He prefers that it contain a drop of black 'which eliminates the 'blue' tinge that can cause whites to appear cold and unwelcoming'.

His favourites include Popcorn by Porter's Paints, Super White by Benjamin More, Ammonite by Farrow & Ball and House White by Resene.

RUG RULES

"A rug is a great way to visually create different 'zones' in open-plan living spaces, softly delineating areas while focusing the furniture around it," Natale explains.

He suggests textured rugs on a patterned floor or, if you have a plain floor, suggests using a rug to play with colours or prints.

Entertainment

The buzz: The relationship between plants and insects is the topic of a workshop, at Cranbourne's Australian Garden next Sunday.

Book

Like Sandra McMahon (see main story), the late Stuart Rattle was a proponent of the garden-as-series-of-rooms school. And this week Paul Bangay launched a book detailing precisely how the interior designer went about it at his property Musk Farm. He took "lines from the architecture" of the one-time Musk State School and broke the property up into sections (think summer garden, chestnut lawn, woodlands ...), all defined by plantings of English box, viburnum and privet. Stuart Rattle's Musk Farm has a foreword by Bangay, photography by Earl Carter and Simon Griffiths, and text by Annemarie Kiely. It is published by Lantern, $39.99.

Workshop

Plant and insect relationships come under the microscope at an all-day workshop at Cranbourne's Australian Garden next Sunday. A diverse line-up of presenters will discuss issues of mutual need, mimicry and the propagation and cultivation of insect-reliant plants. The event is organised by the Friends of the Royal Botanic Garden Cranbourne. For more information or a booking form, email rgelliot@optusnet.com.au or phone 8774 2483. Bookings close this Monday.

Open gardens

Though grass-fed, free-range egg production is the central feature of Wild Hen Farm in the Myrrhee Valley in north-east Victoria, the property is also home to a large garden that seamlessly blends into its rural setting. As well as an assortment of trees and shrubs, there are stone wall-surrounded vegetable beds and a Gothic-inspired cage to keep the birds off espaliered fruit trees, berries and tropical species. It is open from 10am to 5.30pm today and tomorrow, at 165 Redcamp Lane, Myrrhee. There will be talks on egg production at 11am and 2.30pm each day. Gardens in Mount Martha, Narbethong, Malmsbury and Camperdown are also open, with Open Gardens Australia this weekend. Go to opengarden.org.au for more information.

Excerpt from:
Stuart Rattle book details his architectural approach to garden design

Venus Williams isn't just a tennis icon with five Wimbledon titles in tow. She's also an interior designer.

Her latest project: developer Jorge Perez's new apartment community in Delray Beach.

Williams is working with Perez on the 172-unit SofA I and 2 going up just south of Atlantic Avenue between First and Fourth avenues.

Her Jupiter-based V*Starr Interiors is designing the lobbies, two models and some of the finishes for individual units. She said her goal is to appeal to artists, hipsters and other creative minds.

"I think that people will be surprised that this is something different," Williams said Thursday during a groundbreaking at the site. "This will be a place that when you bring people home, you're excited to show it off."

Williams, a Palm Beach Gardens resident, earned a degree in fashion design from The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. She launched the company in 2002, designing model homes and residences for professional athletes. She also designed a condo at the ultra-luxury One Thousand Ocean in Boca Raton.

At the Doral View Phase I multifamily development in Miami, V*Starr said it used a variety of colors, including blue and orange. The firm said its accessories and furniture "tell a story and bring visual and tactile interest to the space."

Williams and Perez are both part owners of the Miami Dolphins. Perez, chairman of the Related Group of Miami, couldn't attend Thursday's ceremony, but Related executive Steve Patterson said the firm's vision for the project is "industrial chic, something that has that raw edge," similar to New York City's Meatpacking District.

Related built thousands of condos in South Florida during the housing boom, including Trump Hollywood and CityPlace South Tower in West Palm Beach. But the company handed those projects and others back to lenders when buyers backed out of contracts and the market collapsed.

Related is back building condos, this time insisting on down payments of 50 percent or more to discourage buyers from walking away. The company also is beefing up its apartment construction. It has rental projects in Fort Lauderdale, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea and Pembroke Pines, with more planned.
