We have reached a consensus – our homes are a reflection of who we are, an echo of our own story as individuals. The entire interior design scene seems to agree with this vision and is actually working within this approach. But what does it mean to express ‘my self’? What type of person ‘am I’? This is where the whole story begins: more and more, people are getting free from labels, not accepting categorizations and choosing instead ways to express their personalities that may be contradictory. We are witnessing a polarization of the self that is of course reflected indoors in the way consumers choose to decorate their houses.
‘Hide&Seek’ Collection embodies this narrative to present two contrasting stories– StandOUT and Camouflage.
Departing from nature in its most raw and naked state, ‘Camouflage’ explores the HIDE. It works under the idea of ‘hiding from the enemy’ to present an image of melding within the landscape and becoming one with nature: honest and raw color combos and shades, picked from the natural environment, layer-on-layer decoration techniques, and glazes that by revealing a craft touch, recall the perfect imperfection of nature.
Pale and faded tones of green, stained white and dusty creams applied dynamically in ceramics to bring indoors a touch of nature without filters.
The right combos of color, textured glaze and clumsy decoration techniques to create ceramic pieces that could have been picked from the ground.
Splashes of organic colors designing pieces that merge with the natural environment.
Layer-on-layer decoration techniques that recreate the outdoors scenery at home, inviting a sense of immersion within the landscape.
Taking over the all-gray trend of the past seasons, colors like sand, clay, ochre, and terracotta are having a moment. An earthy color scheme that mixes neutral tones with warm pops of color and that is applied in ceramics through the use of textured and reactive glazes.
In the other pole of the Spectrum: ‘StandOUT’, a complete shout crying to be seen. Eye-catching colors, intense shades and tones, statement geometric patterns and clashing combinations applied in unexpected and somehow sensuous shapes. Reviving the 70’s, this story evokes interiors where drama, boldness and opulence are present.
'Evolution’, ‘Profile’ and ‘Lalique’ are new product lines dressed with relief patterns that delight the eye and dare to be seen.
Shapes and mostly patterns that remind us of past times.
Rich and intense dark colors combined with outstanding designs awakening each one’s deepest creative side.
Bold and prominent silhouettes where shape is the protagonist, getting over functionality.
Creative and non-organic decoration techniques that by highlighting the piece's shape result in defiant and eye-catching home details.
