I love the option to work in a private office while still feeling connected to the larger open plan space. And who doesn't want a huge blackboard to creatively brainstorm?

Hi Sarah, You can go for alternative stone cladding from Boral called Cultured Stone. They are great products and can be installed by most stone masons on brick or rendered walls.

My parents had a similar style with Berber covers and if my memory serves me right it would be about late 60's early 70's they also only had Noblett furniture for their dining and lounge coffee and buffet tables oh boy they were made to last and still were in excellent condition when they passed away so sad to have to let them all go but we didn't need it whoever bought them at auction will be happy, they will outlast a lot of the 'ready access' furniture that's available today. I can't remember if the lounge suite was Parker or Noblett but the style is the same.

Though I don't know for certain, I think the cotton/linen shades are removable. I wasn't able to determine this by my searches. This could easily be confirmed by making an enquiry to supplier before purchase. Alternatively, a handmade one could be made removable by making shade slightly larger than frame and making ties.
