Meet the Litmus Furniture UK sales team – on a rare occasion when we all got together! We were delighted to be able to take the whole team over to Wiemann HQ in Germany in mid November. It was partly so we could thank them personally for all their efforts, and also so they could meet the head office team and do some refresher tours of the factory, seeing just what does go into producing Wiemann’s bedroom furniture.
We also discussed the company’s strategy and plans for 2014. After nine years of year on year growth in the UK, with the emphasis mainly on building distribution, we’re now going to focus more on quality rather than quantity. We’ll be looking to support those retailers who want to invest in good displays, sell across the range from budget to better end and who want to use our much admired delivery and installation service.
Everyone also had a chance to see for themselves a wide range of Wiemann’s prototype models for 2014 and together we selected the products we would like to see in the UK collection for next year best slimming pills. As usual, we’ll be unveiling a whole host of exciting new products. Newcomers for 2014 include another smart wood finish range, Bergamo, satisfying a demand for a more traditional style for the mid-market and looking equally fantastic in either dark or light rustic oak; and the fabulous Shanghai, shining in a multitude of glass colours – not just for the door fronts but for the sides, too, in a choice of sliding or hinged door robes and some superb corner arrangements too. Meanwhile the new Jive is a potential eye-catcher with panels and matching faux leather headboards contrasting against white in Lime or Mango as well as the more conventional Sahara and Havanna.
Popular entry level hinged door robe range Sunny get a makeover in a brand new finish, Santana light oak ; and an updated version of Dakar, Dakar 2 brushes up beautifully in this year’s new finish sensations, dark and light rustic oak. As well as the new Savanna oak finish, Polar larch is another new finish for 2014 – it will be shown combined with Havanna in the new Stockholm range; while Qatar plugs a gap for a glitter-adorned collection in black! Meanwhile, Queens will doubtless be welcomed as a new overbed range in rustic oak and featuring the popular towers with drawers.
Find us in our usual spot on stand E40 in Hall 5.
And in the meantime we wish you all warmest Season’s Greetings and a happy and hopefully prosperous New Year.
