Natuzzi - An antidote to F withdrawl symptoms
I was wondering whether anyone else had happened across this rather brash brand of furniture, which - in my very personal opinion - has little to commend it.
However, what it does have is a rather wonderful electric reclining leather armchair (or row of several attached) which when reclining has very much the feel of an F seat performing the same operation, and even comes complete with a light on a stalk uncannily similar to the F reading light.
2009 is likely to be a year of reduced travel opportunities, but I think that regular visits to the Natuzzi showroom may help as an antidote to the withdrawal symptoms I thought I would share this with anyone else in a similar position

That's a bit harsh! We have two rather nice (understated) leather sofas from Natuzzi which we are very happy with.

Large pile of miles ...
Very little work to do ...
BA half-price miles sale and the forthcoming demise of BMI Diamond Club ...
Personally I'm planning a very heavy travel schedule next year, albeit 100% miles funded! Maldives in January, Tokyo / Singapore in May, New York in July, Germany in July (!), Dubai in October, Cape Town in November ....

Natuzzi - Went in there in August. They are one of the biggest furniture producers in Italy. IMO trying to move their brand into Retail parks such as Lakeside was a mistake, they are too highly priced for those places in this environment.

Not many miles left (or cash to cover the fees)
Too much work, not enough time....
Off to the pub now to drink gin and sulk

We have one down the end the main road off my street. Oddest place ever for one considering I live on the outer edges of Chav central. (It was the inner edge until the strip mall down the other end tarted itself up and we started getting the poshites in to eat at the resturants - only decent Japanese in town).

I too have one Natuzzi sofa at home. It's pretty nice, don't have an electric chair part to mine tho' since it's a design slightly different from the conventional looking ones...

No-tuzzi more like.
As they recently unpacked my posh sofa and the animals branding mark was visible on the leather the reaction of the delivery man was- Oh, had another like that, see you later to pick it up. Try MFI for a higher quality item!!!!
