FADED SIMPLICITY Justyna says As its name suggests, this trend is all about a simple form. The palette is pared down on colour but rich in texture. Chalky matt, rough surfaces are beautifully combined with light reflective finishes and metal embellishments. We make every effort to ensure perfect colour reproduction but owing to printing limitations the colours may not match exactly.

STITCH Judy says Some of the most modern and prolific furniture and textile designers take inspiration from skills like basketware and patchwork for their designs - looking at the myriad ways of layering and weaving tone and texture together for inspiration. For this reason I find Stitch exciting and interesting as a starting point for putting together a palette that is thought provoking and has real depth and strength. We make every effort to ensure perfect colour reproduction but owing to printing limitations the colours may not match exactly.
