Tropical Grandeur

Yes, the tropical trend is here to stay but it’s taking a sophisticated, classical turn this season. Rich tassels are added to brightly patterned upholstery, flamingos and palm leaves embrace faded hand-painted looks. Motifs from historic archives are updated with vivid tones.

Artisan Design

Handmade techniques drive designs as brands adopt an artisanal style. From woven fibers to leather-laminated metals, the concept of global craftsmanship is ever present.

Elegant Past

Colour- and material-blocking evolve into a softer direction as tactile textures are arranged next to one another. Velvets, leathers, wools or woods; solid, grainy, smooth or raised; all sorts of materials and finishes are playfully but exquisitely juxtaposed on a unique object, from furniture items to decorative accessories.

Texture Block

Colour- and material-blocking evolve into a softer direction as tactile textures are arranged next to one another. Velvets, leathers, wools or woods; solid, grainy, smooth or raised; all sorts of materials and finishes are playfully but exquisitely juxtaposed on a unique object, from furniture items to decorative accessories.

Feel Good Furniture

Cozy and snug seating furniture play the inviting card. Surfaces have a downy, extra-padded feel, like extensions of our beds. XXL geometric patterns create contemporary quilting for stylish yet ultra-comfortable pieces that are fit to welcome the TV-series binge of a wintry afternoon.
