Trends are coming and trends are going. Pop art is in the air since some time now. Prada is showing a real pop art inspired summer collection and continues on that road for the fall, and they are not the only ones. Explosions of color were also present at the furniture fair in Milano, a few weeks ago.
When the winter comes to an end, or at least we think will come soon to an end, we get in the mood for color. Pastels are always a perfect option to bring a spring mood into your home. But last week when doing my shopping in Antwerp I saw so much pastel tones in all different types of shops that I realized that pastels were really trendy this year.
Autumn is arriving slowly this year, it is a season which inspires me to write about HYGGE, a Danish and Norwegian word, which can not be translated to one single word. It was never meant to be translated, it was meant to be felt.
What would you say is THE color for bathrooms? I'm quite sure you will tell me white. And yes: white stands for purity, cleanness. Slowly the trend is shifting from boring white bathroom sanitary ware to a more colorful one.
Rattan was quite fashionable in the midcentury. Designers, such as Arne jacobson, Charlotte Perriand, and Franco Albini worked with rattan and now it gets back in trend.
Paris is always a great destination, even more in January. Paris in January is inspiring. The year just started and everybody is in the mood to create something beautiful.
