Spring / Summer 2022
Lookbook
Introduction “This season we’ve taken a different approach to our new collections, still focusing on trends, but ensuring we can adapt to this new way of living.

Our 28-strong design and product development team is committed to creating enduring, statement designs that will live through any interior trend, be it bold and maximalist or neutral and minimalist. All of our furniture prioritises quality finishes, accented by on-trend home accessories that enable quick home refreshes for the new year. Outstanding materials remain at the core, seen in handmade

CITRINE
Citrine The Citrine collection combines nostalgic design, reminiscent of the fashion houses in the Seventies, with modern shapes and materials for the home. This distinctive look features abstract, geometric prints throughout textiles and tableware, complemented by pill-shaped forms and tactile curvaceous furniture. A cedar green and pastel pink colour palette unite the range, punctuated by confident pops of butterscotch orange and black. Luxe accents of velvet, marble, pinsonic quilt and brushed brass give the trend a luxuriously refined feel.

Design Details: Ronda Chair “We built on our obsession with occasional chairs this season to create a cocooning, Art Deco design. Reminiscent of retro style interiors, the voluptuous tub shape is wrapped in an inviting marshmallow pink or olive-green velvet. We’ve kept the footprint tight too, so it will suit living or bedroom corners that are short on space.” Rachael Fell Furniture Buying Manager

Design Details: Habitat Industrial Swivel Desk “Home working shows no sign of abating, so as a design studio we continue to put emphasis on products that support flexible living. The desk unit is designed and built to increase storage solutions whilst being adaptable to different home office needs. The unique swivel mechanism allows for a multitude of positions: the ‘L’ shaped desk can zone a space or make the most of unused corners, and it can also extend flat against a wall.” Ben Stanton Designer of Habitat Swivel Desk

Trending: Tinted Glassware “The coloured glassware trend continues to grow. What started out as a niche tableware style has blossomed into home accessories. Retro, sepia shade pieces play into the popular Seventies look, typically seen in lighting designs as they create an inviting, subdued glow. We’ve introduced tinted glass designs throughout lighting, home accessories and tableware to keep up with heightened demand, experimenting with layered transparencies and two-tone styles to keep it fresh and new.” Andrew Tanner Design Manager

Naturalist Naive forms and a pared-back colour palette bring a relaxed yet sophisticated feel to this collection. An abundance of soft green hues layer with bleached woods and leafy prints to feel fresh and earthy, interspersed with monochrome designs that give it a refined edge. Resist print and botanical-inspired textiles add to the organic, biophilic look, finished with tufted threads for added tactility.

Trending: Rustic Ceramics “Asymmetric ceramic vases dipped in neutral matt glazes are great for artisanal, relaxed interiors. Their simple look has enduring appeal as they can be layered up each season. They look best styled with dried foliage, but their sculptural quality means they work as objets as well. Handmade in Portugal by artisan ceramicists, our Naturalist vase collection was designed with this style in mind, available in neutral block shades and fluid forms ideal for calm-inducing spaces.” Anna Cross Homewares Buying Manager

Pattern Story: Large Leaf Prints “Scale plays a huge importance this season across textile pieces such as graphic cushions and soft cotton bedlinen. The in-house drawn illustrations are inspired by bold foliage prints from the likes of rubber and banana plants, and are a simple, effective way to add a statement to more neutral interior spaces.” Andrew Tanner Design Manager 16

Fresh Vintage The Fresh Vintage range is an approachable style that finds beauty in clashing prints and furniture styles. Attention is paid to elaborate details; think scalloped edges, embroidered cushions, spiral candles, and hand painted ceramics. It is proudly eclectic, layering jute, rattan, florals and checks, unified by a pastel sherbet colour palette that feels summery and bright. In keeping with its retro feel, cane is the hero material, used for storage, seating, side tables and home accessories, favoured for its strong yet decorative qualities.

Pattern Story: Gingham “Filtering across from the fashion sphere, gingham is the print of the moment. What started as a must-have for picnic blankets and tablecloths, is now popular across tableware and home accessories. We’ve included new designs on both grand and small scales: try as a statement bedlinen if you’re feeling bold or opt for a simple printed ceramic vase for a more subtle approach.” Anna Cross Homewares Buying Manager
21
Trending: Scalloped “Scalloped details inspired by vintage fabrics have made a comeback across homewares. It’s a great, unexpected way to inject colour and soften edges of typically straight edged items like rugs, cushions and lampshades. Layer up in spaces that are full of prints and patterns to achieve modern, fresh vintage, eclectic style.” Andrew Tanner Design Manager

Global The Global collection celebrates our wanderlust, bringing together a melting pot of objects, patterns, textures, and colours inspired by travels around the world. There is a deep appreciation for skill and craftsmanship, seen throughout handmade ceramics, woven accessories, rattan furniture, and tufted textiles. The kaleidoscope of abstract patterns and animal prints are united by pops of terracotta, mustard and charcoal. Being a proudly eclectic style, open storage and sideboards are key, showcasing unique, statement designs from far-flung places.

Design Details: Tufted Textiles “The textured symbols in our global cushion and rug are formed from the traditional punch needle technique; different textured and coloured yarns are hand-looped at varying heights to give a layered and tactile appearance. The abstract geometric is inspired by contemporary art with Seventies influences and will bring a statement update to any home setting.” Anna Cross Homewares Buying Manager

Pattern Story: Brush Stroke Spots “This monochrome dinnerware is formed from a pad print technique that applies mixed mark-making elements of the print to the surface of the ceramics, ensuring that the handmade texture and quality is not lost. Designed by our in-house print team, the neutral matt surface and the contrasting application of the mix and match pattern of brush strokes really adds to the hand-crafted feel of the global trend.” Andrew Tanner Design Manager

Outdoor Design Details: Garden Sofa Set “This sofa set was designed with long lazy gatherings with friends and family in mind. The epitome of comfort, it features a deep comfortable seat and two matching armchairs which are balanced either side with deep fill cushions. Marrying the palette of terracotta is the frame made from FSC eucalyptus. The pared-back yet relaxed design lends itself to both Scandinavian or global garden set-ups.” Andrew Tanner Design Manager

Design Details: Day Bed “Day beds are the latest must-have furniture piece, elevating the comfort levels of gardens and patios for hours of reclining outdoors. The simple addition of a set of wheels makes it easy to manoeuvre when you’re chasing the last of the summer rays.” Ben Stanton Designer

Design Details: Double Hanging Chair “Our woven swing seat is the perfect destination to relax and unwind with a book or glass in hand. To ensure a neat footprint, we designed a frame that wraps under the seat rather than jutting out to the side. It’s great for renters as the detachable seat means it’s easily transportable. Plush, weather resistant cushions in a light putty hue can be layered up with cushions and throws for cooler evenings.” Andrew Tanner Design Manager
