Dressing up

The perfect spot for prepping and primping for your day - be it in front of cameras, behind a desk, or wrangling children. The dressing or vanity table - also known as a poudreuse, from the French word for powder - became popular in the late 1600's during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King. And with style choices ranging from traditional curves and cabrioles to clean-lined contemporary, your close-up is at hand.

A perfect studio with Grange

Grange has just introduced the new Architecte collection with straight lines and industrial minimalism, drawing inspiration from a turn-of-the-century architect's drafting table. The solid lime wood frame is available in any of Grange's 28 painted finishes, accented by drawer casing and top surfaces in the golden grain of solid French cherry wood.



Great for small spaces, home offices and work stations. Architecte is a stylish new feel for your residential workspace from Grange.
