We've recommended the Grange furniture collection on these pages before, but the selection of the 2012 range, now on sale at Carpe Diem in Jumeirah, is worthy of another mention.

One clear highlight is this elegant Pomadour hall cabinet that successfully captures the design heritage of the esteemed French designer brand while delivering a stylish, contemporary piece, courtesy of its vibrant painted finish.

The collection is defined by its "refined, elegant lines and curves, revisiting [the style of] Louis XV", and like much of Grange's cabinetry, is available in a number of equally striking colours, including pink, yellow and emerald green, along with more muted shades such as cream, sage and dove grey, each handmade and finished by Grange's skilled craftsmen.

Carpe Diem has the item in stock in selected colours; should you wish to order a colour that is not currently in stock, the waiting time is approximately four months.

Pompadour three-drawer hall cabinet, Dh23,023, Carpe Diem, Villa 145A, Jumeirah Beach Road, Dubai, 04 344 4734. To see Grange's 2012 catalogue in full, visit www.grange.fr
