Interior designer touts stylish Aston Martin furniture line

They are not James Bond's Aston Martin DB5 but they're cut from the same cloth.

Sort of.

A shipment of furnishings from the Aston Martin Interiors collection is anticipated to arrive at a South Florida showroom early February, turning Pompano Beach-based Zelman Style Interiors into the exclusive Florida distributor of the luxurious furniture line.

The "sleek and contemporary" collection includes chairs, sofas, desks and lamps that are made with the same technologies and materials used in the production of the coveted English sports cars, said Steven Zelman, founder and owner of Zelman Style Interiors.

The pieces will be showcased at Zelman's Sunny Isles Beach showroom at 17070 Collins Ave.

Zelman said the collaboration evolved after one of his friends saw the line in Italy and informed him that the manufacturer was seeking distributors.

"We both did our due diligence to find out if we wanted to do this," Zelman said of himself and Formitalia, the company that produces and markets the furniture. "It's a car line and not many (interior designers) would have taken it.

"But Aston Martin has that air about it, very James Bond. It's classic."

Zelman, who's been in the industry for more than 25 years, is confident the new collection will give him a competitive advantage over other local high-end designers.

His clients, he said, include celebrities, athletes and CEOs from South Florida and around the world who book him for projects that cost anywhere from $100,000 to $10 million.
