Lately, PANTONE announced the colour of the year 2016. Actually for the first time they presented two colours. Because those two are a perfect match, a smooth fusion, a powerful symbiosis: Rose Quartz and Serenity Blue. The keyword this year is well-being. The two colours present happiness, warmth, peace and calm. We want to feel good and surround us with sweet things that’s why we are going to have soft and round shapes. Textures will be rubbery, warm and matt. Pastel tones are trend, which go well with neutral accessories to keep the layout clear.
But even flowery fabrics can be a good fit if you like it colourful. For those who love a little kitsch in their lives, it’s definitely a great opportunity now. Go for it, don’t be afraid to use candy colours and be emotional. We all like to be hugged and loved. Especially by our home.
We from MK Design very much like the desert theme this trend is having as well. Dry and light earthy tones and surfaces treat you very gently. We like to combine them with highlights like extraordinary furniture or splashes of bright colours.
Are you ready for WELLNESS 2.0? As soon as you’ve created your cosy and safe home you should continue treating yourself with the latest activities offered: Try Ecotherapy, Sound Bathing, Floating or Mindful Networking.
There is something else worth mentioning about this new choice of rose and light blue: Stop thinking in old conventions. Is pink only for girls? That was the day before yesterday. It’s time to mix up colours, cultures, and genders.
We like that and say cheers with a glass of Brosé!
I love when colour meet design add become these iconic pieces that brighten our homes! The blue Alvar Aalto vase is one of this marriage made in heaven. Each and every vase in the Alvar Aalto Collection continues to be mouth blown at the Iittala factory and comes in a wide range of colors and sizes. The Collection is a staple of modern Scandinavian design and Iittala’s most iconic series.
The exclusive TS Coffee Table by GamFratesi was designed for the prominent restaurant The Standard in Copenhagen. It was not just the name of the table that got its inspiration from the old customs house, but the aesthetics and material choices as well. The contrasting solid blush table top to the slender metal base has strong references to the building’s architecture and the materials were found on the site.
These two pieces are representing perfectly the Pantone Colour of the year 2016 Rose Quartz and Serenity Blue.
