4 3 HIGHLIGHT W hen people talk about furniture designs that are timeless and classic, they usually refer to styles that were created from the late 1940s to 1950s. Characterised by clean lines, geometric shapes and a minimalist aesthetic, mid-century furniture has a simplicity that helps it play well with pieces from other eras, including modern times. It’s no wonder then that mid-century style has lasted through the decades and enjoys such wide appeal. For those seeking to build their own collection, start with Castlery’s new Hudson range. The local furniture brand known for high-quality designs at accessible prices just launched 13 pieces under the line which comprises a bed frame, storage solutions, tables for the dining and living areas and more. Crafted from high-end acacia wood in a dark stain and accented by antique brass details, the pieces in the line look elegant and refined. Thanks to the durability of the materials and meticulous craftsmanship, these are furniture with longevity that will hold up well through the years. We’re particularly fond of both the Hudson High and Low shelves which have floating racks in a zig-zag pattern for an unconventional look. You also can’t go wrong with the sturdy and classy Hudson Bed (available in queen or king). Its high and cushioned headboard works with a wide array of mattress heights and slim legs elevate the bed up to offer you storage beneath. The Hudson Dresser and Sideboard are also good choices with roomy drawers and uniquely shaped antique brass handles. Skinny steel legs lift them off the ground for a more lightweight and casual appearance.
