TREND ALERT: CONTRASTING MATERIALS

THE APPEAL OF CONTRAST IS SET TO BE A BIG TREND FOR INTERIORS AFTER ITS DOMINATING PRESENCE AT THE MAISON & OBJET DESIGN FAIR IN PARIS EARLIER THIS YEAR. STÉPHANE PARMENTIER’S TRAVERTINE AND SUEDE ‘PALAZZO’ TRAYS (RIGHT), ARE A CASE IN POINT. “THE CLEVER COMBINATION OF SOMETHING AS INDUSTRIAL AS STONE AND AS DELICATE AS SUEDE CREATES AN INTERESTING JUXTAPOSITION,” SAYS HB STYLIST TILLY ROBERTS.
