    Organic curves are a thing

    Organic curves are a thing

    This year, soft, round shapes were re-introduced and are now once again an integral part of our interiors. The organic forms break through the clean, straight lines and make your interior more playful. The forms that derive from nature create an instant feelgood atmosphere.

    The organic shaped it item is by far the round pouffe. Yet, there are many other fun ways to bring this trend into your home.

    Round dining table
    A round (or oval) dining table offers many advantages. First of all, it takes up less space than a rectangular table and still has the same number of seats, so it's perfect for those who live in a small home. On top of that, it is also much more comfortable to sit around a round table with your guests, because it makes it much easier to talk to each other.

    Tip
    A nice addition to a round dining table is to place a round carpet underneath it to create an extra sense of coziness.

    Softly shaped chairs
    A round table requires to be surrounded by softly shaped chairs, instead of sleek and angular models. In this way you keep the playfulness that you brought into your interior through the round table. A velvet version gives the whole an additional luxurious touch.

    Curvy sofa
    The curvy sofa is also an unmissable trend. Large benches with rounded corners and wavy lines are beautiful to look at from all sides. Does such a sofa take up more space than an ordinary rectangular sofa? It might, but who lives to be boring and not to take any risks? You lose a few centimeters but gain a ton of style!

    Round mirror
    There’s nothing wrong with hanging your rectangular mirror perfectly parallel to that rectangular cabinet but you could also try breaking through those clean lines with a round mirror. You'll be amazed by the soothing effect. Besides, with a round mirror you can't see if it's hanging crookedly!

    Current trends in wall coverings

    Current trends in wall coverings

    As one of the best known and most outstanding designers and manufacturers of wall coverings, Arte International knows better than anyone what's trending in this design world. They tell us more about the trends in wall coverings at the moment.

    Nowadays, there are so many beautiful, fun and surprising things you can do with wallpaper and other wall coverings to give your interior that little bit extra. Arte has an extensive range of different, unique coverings and, just like in the world of fashion, the interior trends are constantly changing. At the moment, we are seeing different trends in the decoration of your walls. Here, Imagicasa and Arte put them together.

    A first style that we see appearing more and more, is the jungle theme. "That is still and will remain hot," says Arte, "inside and outside this theme, there are a lot of animals visually present." We see a lot of tropical wallpaper with applicable birds, butterflies, leaves and flowers. Of course, green tones are often found in jungle wallpaper. Golden details in your interior can be perfectly combined with this.

    Natural tactile materials, real or imitation but real-looking, are also very popular to cover your walls with. You can go for a leather look or a nice texture. In the Atelier collection of Arte you will find beautiful examples of this.

    Geometric shapes and the combination of round and straight patterns are also making their advance in wall design. Or as Arte calls it: the 'Memphis style'.

    Finally, Arte shows us a colour that is very fashionable – and according to Imagicasa timeless – namely earthy colours. You can choose shades of brown, terracotta, orange and so on. Cosy, warm and stylish!

    The revival of Art Deco

    The revival of Art Deco

    Although here at Imagicasa we have an obvious weak spot for mid-century modern, it's worth going a little further into history in search of inspiration. This is what a lot of contemporary designers and architects also do. It is now about a hundred years ago that the style movement Art Deco made its appearance. The successor to Art Nouveau was particularly popular in the 20s and 30s of the last century, but given the ever-increasing interest in vintage design, these designs are now also once again getting more and more attention.

    Here we highlight a few beautiful pieces that are clearly based on the specific style movement of a century ago in which geometry, colour and surprising decorative elements played an important role. The 'Monterey' chair by Marie's Corner plays with shapes and various influences, just like Elena Salmistraro's 'Roue' bookshelf for Emmemobili. The Belgian top architect and designer Vincent Van Duysen created a functional but dynamic collection for Molteni. In addition, the 'Irving' sideboards are made of a combination of wood, metal and natural stone, which is another characteristic of art deco.

    The use of natural materials and especially the combination of these is something we also see in Casalto's 'Vendôme' side table, Ferruccio Laviani's 'UFO' table and the 'Aiko' sideboard for Emmemobili and the 'Oliver Boiserie' system of the same brand, where brass profiles were placed on veneered wood panels.

    Earthy colours

    Earthy colours

    The earth has many riches and in 2020 we embrace them all. A natural colour palette and the use of wood in an interior is nothing new of course, but the way we deal with it this year goes a step further. In colours, materials and shapes we bring nature inside. We see this also in these pieces of furniture and decorative objects that we put in the spotlight here.

    Nature has many form and the most striking is of course wood. This material may therefore be abundantly present in an interior and will always create a timeless atmosphere. Moreover, it is something very characterful and especially the colour variations in darker wood are visually very pleasing! The sustainable aspect of this material should of course not be forgotten, because that remains a very important fact if we want to enjoy our earth for as long as possible.

    Don't be put off by the rougher character of wood, stone and other natural materials. They give a space not only warmth, but also definition. Any imperfections are part of it and create a certain uniqueness.

    Feel free to play with relief in larger surfaces such as walls or cupboards for some extra liveliness. By staying within the earthy colours, this also provides a calming feeling.

    Artistic designs

    Artistic designs

    Sometimes pieces of designer furniture or decoration are so unique an sculptural that we can almost regards them as art. Here, we bring together some beautiful and exclusieve pieces with at artsy touch and always with a luxurious aesthetics and feel.

    Think of it as the best of both worlds, because these designs are both functional and intriguing to look at and they tell a story like a real work of art does. That, of course, is the power of real top design, that it is designed from a completely different idea than simply starting from the function it should have in a household. We wouldn't be surprised if we saw these pieces in the middle of a museum space, but you can also use them at home.

    We are already big fans of this trend that also feels very summery, because because these pieces of furniture and decoration do not adhere to certain conditions for a standard interior, they literally colour outside the lines.

    Moreover, we didn't have to look far for examples of this trend, because in our own country there is already a lot of design talent that we recently put in the spotlight in the Spring 2020 edition of Imagicasa Magazine.

    Sculptural Furniture

    Sculptural Furniture

    The 'cave' trend that we observed in interiors, is also happening to furniture and decorative elements. Sofas, lamps, cupboards, tables and chairs, you name it! Organic, flowing shapes can be found everywhere, preferably in natural, soft colours.

    Art, especially sculpture, has long been an important inspiration for designing furniture. Both disciplines influence each other, but where should one draw the line? When is something art and when is it design? Sculptural furniture is located in the grey zone between functional sculptures and non-functional design.

    Sculptural furniture has obviously existed longer than today. The difference now is that they appear more and more in an organic and artisan form. The pieces of furniture seem to be handmade and for the construction they regularly rely on natural materials such as wood, natural stone or clay. The pieces of furniture are most beautiful in combination with an interior that is very sleek in terms of form, in this way the piece of furniture can claim all the attention. Are you still looking for a unique piece? Then I advise you to take a look at the Carved Collection of the Australian brand Future Collective or Ossicle, a furniture collection by Giobagnara in collaboration with Francesco Balzano. Or anywhere else, honestly, the possibilities are endless!
