Minerva Beauty, Inc. added two new pieces to their French Provincial salon furniture line. Jay Rawl, the president of Minerva Beauty, introduced the Provincial collection earlier this year with the promise that he would continue to expand the line into the largest single collection in the beauty industry today. Rawl recognizes salons’ need to maintain a trendy and fashionable environment and he seeks to provide salon furniture that accomplishes this while remaining affordable.
The two new additions to the French Provincial collection are designed to add simple elegance to a salon’s reception area. The Martinique Reception Desk, inspired by 18th century French styling, features scalloped carvings and an antique finish for a sense of timeless elegance.
The Adele Reception Bench is inspired by traditional French café chairs. The fabric used on the bench seat has the feel of a fine French linen, while being resilient enough to withstand frequent use. It features beautifully distressed, solid wood cabriole legs and a delicately scalloped solid wood frame. Check out the video below for a closer look at the Adele Reception Bench.
Minerva will continue to add to the Provincial beauty furniture line. Please watch for new additional pieces that will arrive early spring 2016. For more information visit minervabeauty.com.
