Espen Hånes of Norway writes: Bemz helped make my home my way my style.
And Beate Terrier of France says: Bemz helped make my home my way, because these are just the colours this old house wanted!
And here's a different story from Florence Michon of France: we have bought an old inn that we have restaured during 3 years. Now it is a "de charm" B&B close to Beauvais (northern part of France). See more about that visiting my website : http://letrentetrois.free.fr. You will see on the page "photos" that we have had a lot of issues in decoration magazines and TV broadcasts. One those being the IKEA FAMILY MAGAZINE in december 2007. We have changed our living room recently and bought an Ikea Sofa with your cover. You will see the photo attached.
And another business, this time from Leo Lospennato of Germany who writes: Dear Bemz, I am a luthier who designs and makes electric guitars and basses, with a retro-futuristic look -a mix of the imagery of Cadillacs in the 50s and the Jetsons comics of the 60s. (Check them out at www.nuax.de if you are curious). A slick Klippan sofa is the perfect companion for the showroom -as seen here- and in the different stands and fairs, where people sit to play the instruments. But always a black sofa...what can be more boring? New colours, new textures and designs would reflect much better the diversity and liveliness of music. If dressed in new BEMZ covers, the sofa would sing "Thank you for the music" whenever musicians play sitting on it!
Thanks for this idea -we hope to make it to the finals!
[Christie from Bemz] FYI: A luthier is is a craftsman who makes or repairs stringed musical instruments - or am I the only one who had to look that up?
Anja Niemczyk of Germany sent in these photos and added: Bemz helped make my home my way for an oasis of the recovery.
Anja also threw in this one: weil unser kleiner Balthasar sich am liebsten unter Kalanda ausruht.
Roughly translated: and because our small Balthasar prefers to rest under the Kalanda.
Superbe
