Mosaics & Tile Creator Debuts First Retail Showroom

Artsaics Studios, one of Long Island’s premier creators of custom handpainted tiles and mosaics, enters a new era with a brand-new retail showroom. Formerly solely a supplier to architects, designers and the wholesale trade, the 10-year-old Artsaics Studios has opened up its vast array of products and collections to the public in a unique retail showroom in the heart of Huntington Village, a downtown area noted for its art galleries. The Artsaics showroom resembles nothing less than an art gallery where visitors can browse through many creative designs defined by bright splashes of color.

In celebration of its entry into the retail market, Artsaics has created a whole new line featuring beautiful mosaics inspired by nature, along with painted and glass tiles. “We have a new eclectic line with very contemporary color combinations and patterns,” says Artsaics Studios owner/designer Nelson Londono.

Tiles for the floor, wall, kitchen, bath, tables, patios, pools and other spaces are available in thousands of different styles. And Long Islanders can take pride in knowing that all Artsaics products are custom-made locally at their Deer Park workshop/warehouse. For the date of their official grand opening in April, call the showroom at 631-923-0980.

An Expert Voice on the Rich Tradition
of Oriental Rugs

When shopping for fine artwork, sophisticated customers seek the advice of an expert. If you’re planning to enrich your home’s beauty with Oriental rugs, you’ll want to consult with some of the most knowledgeable sources in that fine art: John and Manejeh Khalil, owners of The John Khalil Collection. John learned his trade working alongside his grandfather and father in Iran, where the tradition of hand-weaving Persian rugs began. Today, he shares his knowledge with students at C.W. Post, as well as legions of loyal clients.

“I get such satisfaction from educating others about these magnificent rugs,” says John. His 7,500-square-foot showroom is overflowing with more than 20,000 rugs, antique and modern, from all over the world, in every size, style and price imaginable. John lays the rugs on his showroom floor so customers can compare fabrics, colors, patterns and textures of the rugs, which include Aubusson, Persian, Indian, Pakistani, French and more.

The store offers a full range of services including buying and trading, appraisals, cleaning, storage and repair. With years of experience in design, Manejeh offers complimentary advice. “We know that our rugs become part of a family’s treasured collection,” she says. “We take the utmost care to keep their heirlooms in pristine condition.”

21st-Century Style, 1920s Quality

The La-Z-Boy name is so well-known that people use it when they mean “recliner.” But recliners are only part of the story. La-Z-Boy also makes sofas, sectionals, loveseats, ottomans, chairs, home theaters, accessories, tables and rugs with the same top quality and innovative design that customers have enjoyed for the past 80 years. Now celebrating this milestone anniversary, La-Z-Boy has never sacrificed the quality that has made its products famous. All La-Z-Boy furniture is still made with the same quality standards established in 1927 — hardwood frame construction, glued-and-doweled joints, high-density foam cushions and a lifetime warranty on the mechanism of those famous recliners.

The newest innovation is the SlumberAir® Mattress System, now available in full- and queen-size sleep sofas. A four-inch thick innerspring coil base supports a six-inch cushion of air, making a mattress that may be more comfortable than the one on your bed. The mattress is fully adjustable and inflates and deflates in just forty-five seconds.

The staff at La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries’ flagship store in Rockville Centre, and at the stores in Farmingdale, Setauket and Carle Place, are ready to help you with design services, custom fabrics and leathers, and advice about care and financing.
