SEVENTH UK SHOWROOM IN KNUTSFORD, CHESHIRE  
Chalon UK Ltd, internationally renown designers and manufacturers of hand crafted kitchens, bathrooms and freestanding furniture, are proud to announce the signing of a lease for their latest, new showroom in Knutsford, Cheshire.

As Chalon’s seventh wholly owned and managed UK showroom, it will provide a perfect showcase for some of the company’s very latest kitchen designs. Conveniently located at 50 King Street, it is part of the central town shopping footprint and positioned in what is already a well-established hub for the luxury kitchen market.

The centrepiece of the showroom will be a distinctive Chalon Original freestanding kitchen, featuring the most in-demand finishes from the unique Chalon colour palette. Further displays will include a Concave Original kitchen – illustrating the highly skilled cabinet-making required to produce some beautiful curves – as well as a kitchen and utility room from the soon to be relaunched Designer Collection. Appliances from Aga, Miele, Sub Zero and Fisher & Paykel will provide the usual appropriate complementary mix.

The grade 2 listed building is currently undergoing complete renovation before the company’s specialist installation teams can go to work to fit each new display – with a view to an official opening in August. A number of freestanding furniture pieces as well as items from the new Chalon Interiors collection will round off the showroom in the inimitable Chalon way.

CHALON INTERIORS AT EVERY CHALON SHOWROOM  
Chalon is pleased to announce the roll out of their exclusive Chalon Interiors-branded products and services to each of their UK showrooms.

Supported by some wide-ranging research with a selection of key previous clients, and in a move that the company feels marks them out distinctly from their competitors, Chalon are offering a series of products and services they are branding under the umbrella-term Chalon Interiors. These elements – which range from fabrics to flooring and from shutters to sofas, and a whole lot more besides – provide the ideal finishing touch to any kitchen, bathroom or other room of the home. This collection includes the exclusive handmade Lighting range which was launched to critical acclaim during August 2009.

Indeed not only is the company offering this broader, new group of products, it also now has a complete interior design service. This service – with a special offer currently available, (meaning the design is refundable on placement of first order) – provides an initial site consultation, then a full colour 3D drawing supported with a mood board, which is then rounded off by a showroom presentation to showcase examples of these products as part of Chalon’s complete roomset displays.

Stephen Carter, Chalon Managing Director, commented: “Our clients increasingly come to us and want a one-stop shop. Not only do they want our handmade furniture, but they want us to provide our interior design expertise and they want to be able to source everything they need from one company. We see ourselves as not just our clients’ furniture manufacturer but more like their interiors project partner.”

These new products and services are available now through any of the company’s UK showrooms, with some special introductory offers running from now to the end of the year.

CHALON CELEBRATE 10 YEARS IN SCOTLAND  
Chalon UK is pleased to celebrate 10 years of working in Scotland.

Having relaunched their Edinburgh showroom last September, the company is well placed to capitalise on this significant landmark. A substantial new Original freestanding kitchen display forms the centrepiece of the refurbished showroom while last year’s relaunch heralded the entrance of the new, more flexible, Designer Collection into the Scottish market.

Chalon is running a special 10 Year Anniversary celebration. Points of interest include a competition to win one of their distinctive handcrafted Wine Racks and a special 10% discount offer for both new and returning clients (an exclusive promotion for Chalon as they do not usually operate sale periods, with their furniture being made to each individual client’s order).

Chalon’s Edinburgh showroom is based at 6 York Buildings on Queen Street (opposite the Scottish National Portrait Gallery). Staffed by Senior Design Consultant Camilla Brown and Sales & Design Assistant Michael Nunn, a visit will be accompanied with some first class service. Complimentary kitchen design consultations form one of the key parts of the showroom experience, but their comprehensive design service also includes advice on flooring, lighting, soft furnishings and even colours – every element in fact for a successful room. Indeed, it is not just new kitchens on display, with a new dining room, new bathroom furniture and Romo fabrics / wallpaper amongst other fresh additions.

To see the quality and beauty of Chalon furniture, visit the showroom at 6 York Buildings, Queen Street, Edinburgh EH2 1HY (with convenient parking in Dublin Street) or call 0131 557 2909. Alternatively, go to www.chalon.com.
