Striking a balance between classic elegance and modern creativity, Alfresco borrows the best of traditional European design and makes it relevant for today. Alfresco, defined literally as, in the fresh air, is created for those who crave enduring style yet embrace contemporary function and lifestyles. Its crisp rectangular lines, fluted accents, framed door panels, and a scattering of graceful curves recall classic 19th centutry Italian design while sleek silhouettes, modern motifs, fresh finishes and accents of metal form a bridge to the 21st century. Resourceful and clever, Alfresco is loaded with function. Look for slide-out tops, drop-down and interchangable door fronts and a host of other designs elements that enhance storage and accommodate the latest technology. The Alfresco home furniture collection features a nineteenth century French, Louis Philippe design style updated in lighter wood finishes with high functionality and storage capabilities to suit the needs of contemporary life. The collection features pieces for every room of the home, from master bedroom to home office to terrace dining, all of which are crafted from White Oak solids and veneers in two finishes. The minimalism of the ornamentation used draws attention to the fine craftsmanship of each piece; details include crown molded case tops and bases, beveled edges, English dovetailing drawer construction, hand-distressing for a one of a kind appeal,. In addition, reeded door fronts, arrow style turned wood legs, fluted pilasters, bonded leather upholstery and nail head trim also add to the overall elegance. With the complexity of modern life, today's home requires the utmost functionality and ease of use to facilitate an organized and efficient lifestyle; features like hidden power strips drawers, adjustable shelving and drop-front pull-out drawers for electronics make the Alfresco collection the obvious choice for outfitting your home.
