ABSTRACT SIMPLICITY
simplicity abstract
Abstract Simplicity is a synonym for tranquillity. Its minimal approach builds on cocooning concepts, creating places to retreat, relax and be cosy. Lines are free flowing and fluid; furniture is rounded and inviting, accentuated with natural wooden details. The palette is warming, light and neutral with a focus on understated subtlety. Soft neutrals and creams bring warmth and comfort with a hint of gentle organic green and contrasting unsaturated black-brown to complete the look.

ABSTRACT SIMPLICITY
simplicity abstract the making of “Soft light and shadow flow through curved architectural features and arches in a sophisticated, fluid motion. Clean sculptural lines of wall reliefs and curved accessories are gently accentuated to highlight their simple and striking beauty. This palette provides a quietly beautiful backdrop, creating a space that is inviting and restorative to our senses. Colours are gentle and neutral to harmonise within a quiet and well- balanced space.”

ABSTRACT SIMPLICITY
“Soft curved edges and strong architectural features combine subtly to create Abstract Simplicity. The smooth lines invite you in to discover a world of cool, calm, de-saturated colours. The addition of a deep authentic brown and natural moss green brings the scheme to life to accentuates details. Enchanting, textural wall reliefs create depth beyond an otherwise smooth surface.”
“Curved shapes draw us ever closer to nature and embody the natural forces that help us to unwind and relax, providing us with a sense of security and warmth. Needless-to-say, the palette focuses on warm creams and quiet, soft neutrals whose softness of tone combine with dry textures to encourage quiet contemplation; an escape from the world.”

“This Colour Insight wants to wrap you up in a blanket of restorative comfort. Combining muted tones of green, stone and creams, they create an inviting balanced beauty within any space that acts as a sanctuary from the outside world. Curved walls, tactile furniture and three- dimensional forms blend effortlessly to create a balanced, high-end interior where tensions melt away.”

BREATHE
breathe Lightness and balance symbolise Breathe, with architectural features allowing spaces to flow freely. Light and shade from complex patterns, air bricks, woven materials and furniture intertwine with warming, earthy and fresh shades to create meditative spaces. Shadows and light play together, blurring the boundaries and expanding spaces. Colours are balanced and soft – warm neutral whites for lightness; tonal terracotta and tan for richness, with accents of hazy greens and cool blue.

BREATHE
“Open weaved walls and fretwork panels are the key elements in Breathe. This simple solution opens up a space, creating a beautiful focal point and allowing light to breathe through in intricate patterns. Inspiration for patterns can come from geometric architectural shapes through to more organic, natural forms or complex oriental designs . The colour palette is a combination of warming terracottas and soft neutrals with pops of greens and blues for balance.”
“Lightness and balance symbolise Breathe. For this insight we took inspiration from architectural materials which resemble a weave: materials which play with light and form shadows to allow for a playful feel within a space and remind us that nothing is ever static.”
