Our Trends from Maison et Objet 2020

Curved Furniture

Currently, there is a huge trend for curved seating. This ranges from poufs to curved sofas to armchairs. Even coffee tables are being designed in more irregular shape with softer edges. These curved pieces are great for encouraging more free flowing movement throughout and around a space.

Grouped Coffee Tables

We have noticed an increased trend in grouped coffee tables, placing multiple small elements together to create one larger piece. These often vary in size, shape and even height, creating greater intrigue in the design. We suggest using grouped coffee tables in a larger living room where you need a more organic shape to fill the space and create a focal point within the room.

Wall Art

Hybrids between art and sculpture are being increasingly used for wall decoration. They range from very minimal decorative pieces to larger features. Often they create more intrigue and depth than the traditional art canvas. Mirrors too, are transitioning into sculptural pieces, be that the mirror itself or the frame surround, becoming more of an art piece than just a means of creating the illusion of more space.
