Stockholm Furniture Fair

Scandinavia's biggest design fair and the anchor event of Stockholm Design Week (3-9 February) is always interesting to see. I very often find quite inspiring new designs and what is especially good - from young designers.

Maison&Objet Inspiration

"... During the next 5 days, from January 15th to 20th, Paris turns into a playground for decorators, interior designers, galleries, great maisons and exceptional artisans." Its theme ‘Sur/Reality’ explores the resurgence of a contemporary neo-Surrealism that taps into fantasy, distortion, and the bizarre.

laquered wine cabinet, made by La Erre Trunks 

(I have my own design wine cabinet which also has more functions at its back and what it lacks are only the wheels, and I dare to say it looks more elegant :))

Desire for comfort

That is the new color of the year 2025, chosen by Pantone and everybody talks about it:

It is probably one of the most used colors and one of the most popular ones. If you are not sure how to use colors, then beige is safe one to use ;) Still, it is soft and really beautiful and most important - it answers to our desire for comfort. Probably everybody likes it. Famous fashion houses use it as a symbol of luxury, people who fear from bright colors wear beige, which, for me, is better that black :)

So, I finally agree with Pantone's choice. In so many stressful years it is obvious that we all need that feeling of comfort.

As for interior design - this is great color, effortless to use and match. You can definitely have your home oasis of comfort and luxe in Mocha Mousse. Get some inspiration:

As you can see - this is also like some natural stone and wood colors, too, but beware of being boring.. It is easy with too much beige.
