Recline in  style - on a  Le Corbusier chair: NOTHING adds personality to a room like strong mismatched furnishings.

It’s a difficult look to pull off but bargain hunters with a strong sense of their own style will love the fine sofas and occasion chairs on the floor of Dún Laoghaire-based fabric emporium Brian S Nolan (01 2800564). These pieces have been used to showcase some of their star upholstery designs and are now reduced. There’s a single Queen Anne chair featuring Zoffany’s Orissan, which costs €154.37 a metre. It was priced €1,956 and has almost been halved to €999. A Le Corbusier-style recliner in long-haired hide was €999 and is now half price at €499. There’s a Coco tub chair with a Designers’ Guild pattern, Ribera, which costs €67.40 a metre. It was €1,026 and is now €600. There’s also a Denver three-seater sofa in another Designers’ Guild fabric, Nabucco Noir, which costs €121.25 per metre. It was €3,780 and is now half price at €1,999.
