Why Natuzzi Leather may be moving to China
A recent financial report shows that Natuzzi leather sales were down 18% for the first quarter of 2007 with an operating loss of 7.9 million euros. Upon further inspection sales were sharply off by 27% in North and South America.
Based in Italy, Natuzzi leather has been a top of the line furniture maker for many years. Suddenly, they are faced with the dilemma of a world economy characterized by high local wages and outsourcing. Many European furniture manufacturers are already producing furniture in China such as Kuka and Actona. To further complicate the situation, the quality of Chinese made furniture has increased tremendously. As a result of quality improvements, now there are fantastic pieces of furniture available at a fr action of the cost of a Natuzzi piece. Consumers now find it hard to justify spending a lot more money on a piece of furniture, because the gap in quality has shrunken so much.
Natuzzi has a strong brand that consumers will always recognize. Italian made leather has a history that is unparalleled in the furniture and fashion industry. It will be interesting to see if they begin producing a new line of furniture from China or move some of their manufacturing to that country.

Should I consider buying a far infrared sauna
A far infrared sauna is no longer just something you see at your local health club. Far infrared sauna models are available today that can be installed right in your home. I have sat in saunas before, but cannot tell you if they were far infrared or not.
Technology is changing rapidly where items are available in homes that were not available many years ago. If they were available in the past, they were likely cost prohibitive. That being said, I think it is important to understand what a far infrared sauna is and what the current discussion is regarding its benefits to the human body.

Dutch Embassy Residence in Ljubljana
When I first saw this building I’ve said to myself : “This house has a really interesting structure and exterior.”, and after that I’ve found out that this house is the Ljubljana - Dutch Embassy Residence. The concept of the building is derived from the specific needs of an ambassador. The ground floor is intended for receptions and office work, while all the private rooms are located on the first floor.
The different contents are reflected by the facade where the ground floor opens onto the garden, while the first floor, clad with wood, is more introverted. The ground floor hosts a study, a Living Room, a lounge and a dining room, all of which are linked into one surface by means of doors, reminding us of the Dutch tradition. The upper wooden volume is uneven in height. This project was built in 2002-2003 by a team of architects (Matija Bevk, Vasa Perović, Blaž Kandus ) and you can find more info about this project from here.
