It's called Turiya. It's a luxury bed, bath and home furnishings catalog like no other. And, says Turiya vice president Farley Nachemin, the American bedroom may never be the same.

The Spring 2000 Turiya catalog introduces the boldest bedroom fashion statement in years -- leather bed covers! The spectacular richness and texture of these soft, supple and sensuous leather covers will give any bedroom a look of stunning beauty.

Other choice selections from the new Turiya catalog include: Scandia Down comforters ($250 to $3,000) and pillows ($68 to $450); ultra-luxurious bed linens of the finest fabrics, including Egyptian cotton, silk, Italian linen, and cashmere; Mongolian poufs; hand-crafted mother-of-pearl bath accessories; silk blankets; thick, supremely soft imported Turkish towels; jeweled picture frames; feng shui-inspired home aromatics; and designer trays, vases, tables and chairs.

Turiya (tu-re-ya'), the name is derived from the ancient Sanskrit term for ultimate harmony, offers an exceptional selection of the best in luxury home furnishings style, comfort, and quality. Turiya also showcases the exclusive creations of such leading international designers as Kelly Hoppen, winner of the 1999 British Interior Designer of the Year award.

Launched in late 1999, with an emphasis on luxury bed and bath offerings and outstanding customer service, Nachemin says Turiya is targeted to the growing number of affluent Americans who want the finest in home furnishings style and quality.

Turiya's services include designated personal shopping consultants, complimentary swatches of fabrics, a custom shop -- where gifted seamstresses turn customer dreams into reality -- and, except for certain items of furniture, there is no charge for shipping.

The new 56-page luxuriously-illustrated Turiya catalog is available at no charge by calling (toll-free) 1-800-245-1044, or through the company's Web site: www.turiya.com
