If it were up to Homer, blue would have been called wine-red because that’s how the sea looked to him! The genesis of our understanding of ‘blue’ traces back to the ancient Egyptians, innovators who crafted a synthetic blue by blending silica, copper, lime, and alkali. Through epochs and cultures, blue has stood for many things, from royalty in Europe to independence in India. It also symbolises calm, depth, trust, wisdom, and more. Its versatility finds a harmonious nexus in design, embodying a timeless elegance that resonates across styles and eras. If that intrigues you, here are a few stunning blue furniture pieces you could start with.
As practical as it can get.

Customise Bisley with various finishes and creative back panels to define zones and enhance texture. Choose the blue that suits your design theme from Bisley, Azure, Doulton, Oxford and Prussian or other attractive colours.
