10. Handcrafted Looks
10. Handcrafted Looks (Image 10 of 13)
Dark, bold schemes like this one are still fashionable, but more to the point, designers are taking a playful approach with traditional furniture by blurring the borders between professional production and technical ornamentation. Things that aren’t actually handmade are taking on the appearance of being painstakingly hand-crafted in styles reminiscent of traditional craftsmanship techniques. Combining materials is still a hot trend, too. The harmony and softness of fabrics and upholstery meet the austerity of braided leather, lacquered woods and metal. New interpretations and re-editions of tried and tested classics combine the familiar with the new. For a high street take on this look, check out John Lewis's range, including the Hudson chair (£795) and the Marrakesh console table (£595).
