DAFF Felt - New colours have arrived

Provide has just received a delivery from our German felt company - Daff.  Daff produces a very high quality merino wool felt collection in minimal shapes and modern colours.  Felt is one of our favorite materials on the planet and Daff was a tremendous find for us at the Maison et Objet show in Paris when we first opened Provide.  The reception to the Daff line at Provide has been incredible and we decided to introduce some new colours for spring that are sure to inject rooms with vibrancy and life.

Our current buy was focused on the mixing of a bright and grey neutral.  The first colour group hot pink/fuchsia and the dark grey melange.  The second group is a lime green and stone grey melange.  Place mats are stitched together with these combinations or are available in floods of a single colour, boxes are shown alternating the brights and the greys and coasters are available in all colour ways.

In addition to those colour collections, Provide has brought in yellow, orange and a more muted pink in the coaster design.

Catherine Regehr Home Collection available exclusively at Provide

Provide brings you Vancouver based designer Catherine Regehr's (internationally renown couture designer) luxurious home collection.  Catherine has a love for both the elegant and the outdoors - a person of contrasts, she is equally comfortable creating couture as she is canoeing down a river in Canada's North where she lives part of the year.

Regehr's designs combine unique textures and fabrications with a simple modern sensibility, which she describes as "the culture of Luxury".  This signature style can be seen in both here home and fashion collections.

Regehr works together with First Nations and other artisans to help create some of the northern pieces - which are the main theme for her collection and reflect the many textures of the northern lands and its people.  Beautiful silks in rich tones are hand looped to create volume and texture in both pillows and duvets.  Intricate quilting and embroidery embellish silk velvet quilts, cotton bedding, and suede and linen cushions.  The Catherine Regehr home collection - an exclusive to Provide, injects luxury to both urban and country environments.
