Marge Carson Shell, Stone, Stainless And Nickel Accents Blend Glamour And Nature In Marge Carson's Soft-edge Modern Malibu Collection

OCTOBER 2014, HIGH POINT, NC - The iconic beach city of Malibu is the home of glamorous celebrity mansions and sleek architecture, as well as beautiful coastal cliffs, hiking trails, and sun-drenched, sandy beaches.

This dichotomy of urbane sophistication and a casual beach lifestyle comes to life in the new Malibu Collection by Marge Carson.

With its simple, elegant lines, Malibu combines accents of natural shell and stone with stainless steel and polished nickel hardware to create a soft-edge modern look. The mixed media contrast of organic and sleek materials is on trend with the international design stage. At the recent Maison Objet Show in Paris, for example, unexpected mixed media combinations were prominent.

The 39-piece Malibu Collection, including 10 pieces of occasional and 18 upholstered items, is inspired in part by Mid-Century Modern influences, and by the work of Dutch painter Piet Mondrian, known for artistic grids of vertical and horizontal lines.

Crafted of plantation-grown white teak solids and cherry veneers, Malibu's primary finishes are Contemporary Havana, Bombay and Kona. The finish combinations, like the mixed media combinations, present the contrast of a deep, rich, warm finish and a glamorous silver leaf finish.

Six different shell inlays are available for Malibu including Pearl, Raven, Pewter and Honey, available polished or textured, and Silver Mosaic and Leopard, available for limited use. Stone inlay choices include Camel, Crystal Alabaster, Crystal Taupe and Crystal Beige, available polished or textured.

With soft, curvaceous lines and a mixture of sleek sparkle and casual organic materials, the leading-edge Malibu Collection is current with today's new look of modern glamour in home fashion, and with the contemporary, creative and clean direction of architecture and design today.
