Dynamic, purposeful & bold.

Boxy forms are reimagined with bright colour combinations to reflect a more creative, lifestyle-led approach. Modular layouts and adaptable frameworks support evolving routines and multigenerational living.

Intelligent, restrained & calm.
Japandi is evolving, moving beyond serene minimalism to become a style of quiet intelligence. Japandi prioritises smart layout and intuitive design, creating minimal, nature-integrated spaces that can help restore energy. Simplicity is now underpinned by thoughtful design choices and materials, with a focus on durability and adaptability.

Distinct, immersive, & soothing.
Barn is evolving into an immersive, distinctive and soothing style. In 2026, the Barn is refreshed with dramatic shape, natural light, and restorative palettes that evoke nature. The simple Barn form is elevated through intricate detailing, layered materiality, and deep tones, creating homes that are both bold and comforting.

Elevated, joyful & effortless.

Playful, layered & comforting.
Mid-Century Modern is maturing, evolving from its practical, timeless roots into a more layered and comforting direction. The look is refreshed with high-performance design and joyful maximalism, featuring bright colours, tactile finishes, and expressive geometry.

Grand, approachable & harmonious.
Modern Classical is evolving from elegant, warm, and whimsical forms. The design extends its timeless elegance through functional simplicity and purposeful layouts, balancing classic European symmetry with more approachable detailing.
