			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Ergonomic Recliner by Lafer</h1>
<p>&#8220;The perfect ergonomy of the Lafer recliners assures you the best of comfort, regardless of choice of style.&#8221; This phrase has been our motto for many years, and we don&#8217;t think there is much more to add to it. We just invite you to test any of our chairs, to understand why their anatomic profile, together with the independent controls for the retractable footrest, backrest and headrest supports, can do much for your body comfort.</p>

<p>Since always, through research, Tonelli together with famous designers, develops the projects on the base of the respect of one of the most ancient and noble material known to man, which over the years has kept the magic of its perfection, unchanged.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One day, back in 1989, Lisbeth and Gubi Olsen were browsing the shops in central Copenhagen when they came across a simple and functional lamp which immediately caught their attention. When they entered the shop, which happened to sell shoes, they were told that the lamp was a Bestlite made by the lighting manufacturer Best &amp; Lloyd in Birmingham, UK.</p>
<p><a rel="prettyPhoto" href="http://metropolitandecor.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/bl9-xl-bestlite1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-349" title="bl9-xl-bestlite" src="http://metropolitandecor.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/bl9-xl-bestlite1-208x300.jpg" alt="" width="208" height="300" /></a>Shortly afterwards, Gubi and his eldest son Jacob booked a flight to Birmingham, where they had a meeting with Bestlite’s manufacturer. Once, Best &amp; Lloyd was a jewel in the UK manufacturing sector, supplying Buckingham Palace, the Titanic, Downing Street, the Orient Express and other prestigious customers. Now there were only 15 employees left in the old and dilapidated premises, which were once occupied by 1,000 workers. Gone were the boom times when the company had its own shops at exclusive addresses in Paris, Rome, London and New York. The products were now wrapped in newspaper, and it was hard to find evidence on the site of Best &amp; Lloyd’s glorious past. In 1994, the two Best and Gubi families signed an agreement that Gubi would take over the sales rights in Scandinavia.</p>
<p>In 2004, Gubi took over the global production and sales rights, and Bestlite could look forward to a promising new future. Today, Bestlite is sold in the best design shops worldwide, and a noble history has been revived.</p>
<p>The Gubi family is currently reviewing the old design archives which Robert Dudley Best left on his death. The extensive collection of drawings offers fantastic opportunities for supplementing the existing Bestlite collection with more original models. Robert Dudley Best spent a decade designing the Bestlite models.</p>
<p>May 2008 will see the relaunch of the BL10, which Best produced specially for Birmingham’s diamond cutters. And in October 2008, the BL9XL arrives – a mega pendant.</p>
