Burgundy, brass and travertine: the material language of a warm interior

Fabrics come to the table first. Then stone, then metal. The soul of a space is often hidden in how these three come together.

Burgundy: depth and courage

Burgundy velvet gives a neutral space character in one move. Used on a sofa, a curtain or a washroom wall, it becomes the colour the space is remembered by.

Brass: the metal that holds light

Brass softens and reflects light. Used in small doses in pendants, profile details and handles, it gives a space a warm glow.

Travertine: a timeless base

With its porous texture and sand tones, travertine is the calm base that balances burgundy and brass. It works everywhere from a vanity top to a coffee table.

Finding the balance

  • Light, calm tones on large surfaces (cream, travertine)
  • Saturated colour at focal points (burgundy velvet)
  • Metal in the details (brass, bronze)
  • And our signature: a small surprise
“Designed to be different. But first, to be lived in well.”
