The new edition of the Grange catalogue has finally arrived! This year pride of place is given to the south-west of France with its slow pace of life, unique landscape and distinctive architecture. This year’s catalogue boasts 148 pages to last year’s 116 paving the way for dreams and escape but still showcasing the array of services available from Grange, highlighting the brands ability to combine modernity, tradition and its expertise in the world of made-to-measure solutions. The first section invites you to discover different moods and settings that draw their inspiration from history. Keen to underline its role as an interior decoration consultant, the brand has devised a trend book to act as a guide. The second section is devoted to Grange’s made-to-measure consultancy services and presents a complete list of customisation solutions offered by the brand. The new 2013 catalogue is easy to read and follow, with a new and improved contents page, a product summary at the back of the catalogue and an index detailing the finishes offered.

1904 Its name a reference to the industrial era and the date the company was founded, the 1904 Collection combines authentic materials and bold lines. The new collection succeeds in fulfilling a desire for simplicity while sacrificing nothing in terms of character. The collection boasts three new pieces for 2013 and offers more than 45 different finishes.

1904 studio cabinet, style assured
In 2013, the 1904 2- and 4-door bookcases are available open-fronted. They continue to charm with their clean yet strong lines. The upper shelves provide storage space for books and ornaments while the lower cupboards are an ideal place to hide paperwork, files and other documents away from view.
A multi-purpose piece of furniture, the solid oak 1904 studio cabinet will find its place in any area of the home. Use it to store linen, hats, gloves and scarves in the hallway or plates, glasses and cutlery in the kitchen… it could even serve as a piece of occasional furniture in the lounge. As for its “secret” storage space on the right hand side behind the hidden door… the choice is yours.

Directoire The Directoire Collection reflects the style of post-revolutionary France, free of royal or aristocratic influence. Opting for strength and simplicity, the collection relies on clean lines, exquisitely rendered in a broad palette of Grange finishes. Both appropriate and subtle, these unique shades emphasise the beauty of the materials used and suit the tastes of all.
Bonheur du jour desk, sheer femininity
Placed in a living room or office, the eminently feminine bonheur du jour desk will play the role of writing case and secretaire perfectly. However, it would be just as perfect used as a dressing table or even as a decoration piece. Whether in a bedroom or hallway, it is sheer elegance, guaranteed!
Display cabinet, show it all off!
Both practical and aesthetically pleasing, the Directoire display cabinet now boasts a mirror at the back creating the illusion of increased depth. A real display piece designed to showcase your finest items, it has been reworked to make it even more modern.
Half-moon console table, traditional style
With its low shelf ideal for placing decorative items and its drawer for hiding away keys and important bits and pieces, the console table is just perfect for the hallway or the corner of a living room.
Side table with removable tray, mix and match to suit your needs!
Complete with removable tray this occasional piece is an ideal complement to any coffee or dining table.
Nest of tables with interior leather bottom, something different!
A blend of elegance and modularity, this nest of tables is the very essence of style and practicality. The smallest of the tables is by no means the least: its interior leather bottom symbolises the refined spirit of the brand and the attention to detail is the heart and soul of interior decoration at Grange.
Leather top rectangular coffee table, the very essence of simplicity
Characterised by simplicity and authenticity, this leather top coffee table blends just as well into classic interiors as it does into more contemporary ones. It fully meets the expectations of today’s consumers in terms of authenticity and the quality of the materials used. It is important not to forget that it is a practical piece of furniture thanks to its four drawers that are ideal for storing napkins, playing cards and remote controls.

Nest of tables
Leather top square coffee table, resolutely stylish!
This square version of the rectangular coffee table is more than just an adaptation of its big brother‌its leather top sets the tone and it is style and elegance combined! Although undisputedly a decoration piece, Grange has not forgotten that practicality and style go hand-in-hand, thus equipping it with four drawers.
Square leather top end of sofa table, practical certainly‌but aesthetically pleasing as well!
Perfect for laying down magazines and newspapers, as its name suggests, this piece should not find itself far away from the sofa. However it may easily be transformed into an occasional table to help out at aperitif or tea time and some may even take advantage of its clean lines to use it as a pedestal table.
TV mirror, appearances can be deceiving
There may be more to this than meets the eye: this mirror cleverly hides a TV and vice versa! The small screen turns off to reveal a mirror but once turned on you can watch your favourite programmes, relax in front of your favourite film or simply look back on fond memories thanks to a USB outlet that allows you to use it as a photo frame.

Directoire bedroom
Bed head, padding for a snugly effect!
If the bed is the central focus or heart of the bedroom, then the bed head supplies it with character and personality. The multi-dimensional Directoire bed head is stylish and charming and thanks to its buttoned padding effect provides a tranquil atmosphere conducive to rest and relaxation.
Ottoman, 2 in 1!
Grange has decided to opt for both storage and decoration in creating this ultra stylish ottoman whose padded top lifts up to reveal a chest ideal for storing linen, books and photo albums.

Ermitage The Ermitage Collection, inspired by the 18th Century, is a mix of Slavic and French influences from the time. The result?

A collection of true character!

Jacob Grange’s commitment to brightening up the home and the brand’s true expertise in terms of finish has led to the creation of the Jacob Collection. This Louis XVI-inspired range breaks the mould of traditional furniture with its clean lines, colourful finishes that are refined yet modern and its elegant yet sometimes unexpected combination of leather and wood. Jacob successfully combines tradition and modernity to suit any interior, whether it is classical or contemporary, stylish or traditional, understated or baroque. 2013 sees the addition of new products to the range as well as the new Almee finish. With its soft and stylish hues, Almee is an addition to the Jacob Bayadere and multi-finishes already available.

Mirror mirror on the wall
There is nothing better to adorn your wall, add glamour to a room or even give it depth. It is just as effective hung in a bedroom as it is in the hallway or living room as a fun and stylish alternative to the traditional painting.

Luberon The plains, the sea and the mountains of France have forged a real art de vivre that is unique to each region and reflected in its rich and varied architecture and style. This is a formidable source of information from which Grange draws its inspiration for its regional collections. With its fine wood (blended or solid), available in 45 finishes, and depth and character, Luberon is a perfect example of this. Based on far away Parisian styles, the furniture in this collection possesses a somewhat awkward charm and often surprising proportions thanks to its unique characteristics. Luberon dining room

Marie-Galante,
outdoor
Grange is creating a buzz in 2013 with the creation of an Outdoor collection comprising products reflecting the brand’s expertise and its capacity to blend together traditional and modern styles.
Marie-Galante living room
Marie-Galante side table
Marie-Galante, la dolce vita
Grange has designed a “winter garden” inspired collection made from a woven synthetic fibre as ideal for outside as it is inside. The cosy armchairs invite you to lie back and while away the hours whilst dreaming, reading or simply relaxing. The 4 seater sofa plays on conviviality and is a real invitation to spend time among friends and family, seated comfortably around a coffee table. Positioned not too far away, the side table will almost certainly be laden with tea, coffee, cakes and biscuits. It is extremely practical thanks to its little wheels which make it easy to move around! You could also use it as an occasional table to help out at mealtimes mix and matched with snug armchairs and chairs. The Marie-Galante collection also comprises sun loungers for lazing around in the sun.

Mémoire Mémoire furniture pays striking homage to the men and women who have left their mark on French history. Mémoire pieces are delivered with an authenticating certificate and each bears its own numbered copper plate. The wood used, finish and patina are identical to the original furniture.
Secretaire Clicquot-Ponsardin The Clicquot-Ponsardin writing desk is a “secrétaire à guillotine” also known as a “bonheur du jour” from the Empire period following Napoleon’s Egyotian campaign (1798 - 1800). The secretaire features both an upper cabinet for storing papers and small valuables and a drop-front desk. Faithful to the original, the secretaire is made from solid walnut veneer with two pilasters at the front which are decorated with gilded bronze Egyptian-style heads forming the capitals and palmettes at the base resting on fashionable claw feet. The upper storage, known as the “guillotine”, is concealed behind two mirrored doors. The drop-front writing surface is in walnut veneer on blockboard finished with gilded motif green leather. The interior diction of the writing space has a small open surface as well as seven small drawers. The lower part of the secretaire is fitted with four large drawers with trefoil locks.
Madame Clicquot was born in Reims in 1777. In 1798 she married François Clicquot, heir to the famous Champagne house. In 1805, after the death of her husband, she took over the running of the family Champagne business. She was sufficiently aware of the ambitions and hopes of her deceased husband to be able to continue his vision, particularly exporting Champagne all over the world. Madame Clicquot invented the riddling rack Madame Clicquot is credited with a great breakthrough in Champagne handling that made mass production of the wine possible. She famously said “If on the way to perfection one can take two steps
at a time, it seems to me we ought not to be content with taking just one.” At the beginning of 1816, under pressure to meet demand from all four corners of the world, Mme Clicquot was irritated by the slowness of the disgorging process used at the time to clarify the wines. Restless, she would go down to the cellars at night to move the bottles around to speed up the disgorging process and think… Thus, she invented the riddling rack that made the crucial process of “dégorgement” more efficient and economic. The bottles were placed at an angle on an upright rack, the riddling would then be faster, the spent yeast and sediment would gather with more ease into the neck of each bottle. 18
