I'll Take Manhattan Furniture

There are few skylines as memorable as that of Manhattan. You only have to catch a glimpse of those iconic skyscrapers and you can almost hear those sultry strains of George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue coming out of nowhere. And who can forget Woody Allen's famous film named after that great metropolis? That's fine for New Yorkers, but what about the rest of us who might live further afield?

Well, now it is possible to bring that fabulous city right into your home. Manufacturer Maisons du Monde has created an original piece of retro interior design, by incorporating a skyline triptych in its Buffet MANHATTAN, measuring 140 x 40 x 80 cm at 349 (Euros). Or maybe you would prefer their two panel TV unit MANHATTAN, at 239 (Euros), sporting the same design.

For those of you who just want to do your own thing, a canvas print of the Big Apple is available for just 9,90 (Euros). This print is slightly different and includes the world famous Statue of Liberty. You could use it as an eye-catching wall hanging or you might want to frame it.

Any of these three interior design ideas would complement an ultra modern living area. And to show you that I am not just obsessed with home interior design, here are a couple of facts you may not know about the Statue of Liberty. Firstly, that it was a gift from the people of France. Secondly, that it was originally called Liberty Enlightening the World.
