Carving a new niche for itself

Article Abstract:

Retailer Liberty is commissioning furniture designers to produce work for its modern furniture department. Liberty's own-label furniture was previously highly respected by museums and private buyers worldwide, but the store closed its furniture department in 1993, partly because of the economic recession. The store now believes the market for contemporary-designed furniture has expanded. Designs by Christopher Healey, which will be offered as part of the Liberty IV collection, are being displayed in Liberty's furniture gallery.

Emma Hawkins loves wildlife to death. She is a taxidermist

Article Abstract:

There is currently strong demand for antique stuffed animals and related curios, according to Emma Hawkins, who owns a shop which contains a wide range of unusual items. These include fossils, whale teeth, sporting trophies and items collect for scientific interest. She is keen to emphasise that she does not support the killing of animals to stuff them or for their furs, and does not supply modern pieces.

Is it a shoebox? Or a spice cupboard? Or even a wine rack? It can be used as all these things, but really it is your own personally designed and custom-built coffin

It offers basic coffins at around 150 pounds sterling, along with items such as caskets, grave decorations and coffin handles. Many people are now selecting a coffin which they can use as an item of furniture and which they feel is most appropriate to their personality.
