MANILA, Philippines?Luxurious lifestyle pods in seven different expressions are now finally available from a company known for its all-American heritage furniture collection. We are referring to the seven Projections of Distinct Styles (PODS) from Ethan Allen.

Themes range from the über modern with clean lines and polished finish to the grandiose and unrestrained. The seven lines are Glamour, Global, Loft, Villa, Metro, Estate, Country House.

?These are eclectic collections for our clients? varying lifestyles. Ethan Allen is evolving, adjusting to the demands of the modern market,? said Olive Joy C. Antonio, senior brand manager of Focus Global Inc., distributors of Ethan Allen.

Like fine jewelry, Glamour is the old Hollywood glitzy fashion couture translated into a home. It is the essence and grace of Audrey Hepburn interpreted in detail-oriented home of wood, fine accessories and sleek finishes.

The adventurous soul of Johnny Depp is the inspiration for Global, where distant cultures with a taste for the exotic are expressed in warm woods, vivid colors and natural fibers. A globally inspired environment, designs such as the pineapple, the universal sign of hospitality, is infused into its décor.

Urban hip and casual comfort is the Loft, inspired by the ?90s ?it? designer Giorgio Armani. Patches of colors against a black-and-white palette makes the diagrammatic visual appeal fun, fresh and contemporary.

Lovely gardens, a collection of antiques and a fine taste for entertainment and cooking?a little bit of Tuscany, the soul of Provence and the heart of American South. It is Martha Stewart in the Villa, the décor harking back to the age of artisans as seen in the carved woods, hand-forged scrollwork, classic stoneware.

Metro

?Sex and the City?s? iconic male character Mr. Big is the inspiration for Metro, the minimalist?s pod characterized by dark leather upholstery, natural elements such as bricks, metals, timbers. An environment crafted for the working mind in understated simplicity.

The All-American traditionalist who dares express himself in details that reflect his varied interests, or someone like Ralph Lauren, is the concept behind Estate. With nautical elements, an antique-inspired setup and a very uptown ambience, Estate is for a lifestyle well-organized and clutter-free.

The savoir-faire and smooth panache of Sean Connery is created in Country House, crafted for the man who has seen the world. With its fine art, delicate fabric, rich textures and luxurious lifestyle, Country House is the art of living well.

?Ethan Allen is a design center,? Antonio said. ?This is not just your ordinary showroom. We make it our business that our clients experience the design, and see which one is more suitable and comfortable to their lifestyle.?

Antonio added that seven design consultants, all trained in the US by Ethan Allen, are on hand every day to assist clients for a complimentary design service, whether for consultation for an entire home interior design or just searching for the perfect accessory to make that personal statement.

The Ethan Allen design center is on the corner of Pioneer Reliance Streets, Mandaluyong City. Call 6348587.
