Taking a Minimalistic Approach
While sustainability in design has been gaining momentum, we predict this year the minimalistic look will hit a new fever pitch. With multifunctionality being at its prime, to be able to use furniture differently is in sync with current times. On these lines is our Coffee Table Collection which unites the minimalist silhouettes of mid-century modernism and timeless materials. Flaunt separately or together to create a conversation area.
The Mediterranean Accents
In tune with the minimalist chic approach is the whiff of Mediterranean influence which has become a catch-all for all interior designs and is here to stay. Having a timeless appeal, spelling understated beauty, can add a Wow factor in both classical and contemporary abodes. The Aphro Collection is inspired by Mediterranean style and combines features that blend the best of old-world style with modern lifestyles.
Embracing the Greek Touch
Paving their way through is the mesmerizing mystique of Grecian symmetry, designs crafted with natural, woven materials to create a warm, cozy vibrancy in any ambience. Less is more, in the Greek design lexicon, as is our Arachne Collection, embracing the symmetrical balance through shape, pattern, texture, and Santorini colors of blue and white. Following simple geometry, highlighting the visual impact of various textures creates Grecian imagery in a room.
Rustic Vogue
Contemporary rustic is having a moment right now. With its no-fuss aesthetics, designed to feel cozy, comfortable, and inviting, it can work with any decor and style. A sophisticated take on raw tones of wood in a natural finish is the Yoho Dining range. The Yoho Collection inspired straight by the Yoho National Park is reminiscent of the initial elements before they are transformed.
Nod to Global Style
Say yes to the modern global aesthetics this year with sleek and fuss-free styles, adding a touch of urban chic. The modern approach is keeping the decor minimal while emphasizing industrial materials, the essence is rooted in clean lines and simplicity in every aspect of design. Creating a new unique blend is the Toshi Collection, solid wood with natural finish along with cement inlay stands on metal legs with brass finish.
Mirrors & Lamps – Small Additions for a Big Makeover
Give an artistic edge to your home with a mix of light and reflection. A statement lamp or a mirror with a big personality is the perfect way to add glowing warmth, depth, and character to any room. Asymmetric, yet clean lines, modern aesthetics with abstract style, antique gold finishes on glass is the fresh and unique collection of lamps and mirrors in the Hera Collection.
