<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The trend for <b>leather</b> has been big news for a couple of seasons now but it feels like it's got plenty of mileage in it yet. Leather is <b>natural</b> and <b>sustainable</b> (debatably!), <b>strong and tough</b> but it's also <b>imbued with a sense of luxury</b>, so it's the perfect material for high-end designers to be wielding right now - just like <a href="http:// bit.ly/UJlcEZ" target="_blank">marble</a>. <b>Tan leather</b> is still the main story (so much so that there's also a bit of a <b>brogues-in-interiors trend</b> happening too - perhaps the less said about that the better, I love a brogue but this runs too close to novelty for my liking!). There's also a <b>paler, softer buff leather </b>on the increase. These natural tones keep the material <b>close to its original state</b> and <b>completely unfussy</b>. Apart from some black and white, there's a total absence of coloured leather right now but I think perhaps things will go that way, merging leather with the <a href="http://bit.ly/T90YDf" target="_blank">brights trend</a>. <b>Leather edged/hung wall mirrors</b> are surprisingly numerous. One of the most exciting aspects of the leather trend is the <b>boiled leather</b>, or cuir bouilli, of <a href="http://www.simonhasan.com/" target="_blank">Simon Hasan </a>who I've mentioned <a href="http://interiorsnut.blogspot.co.uk/2011/03/max-frasers-joy-of-living-design.html" target="_blank">before</a>. I love this <b>strong and dense material</b> because it is <b>natural</b> and <b>time-honoured but it's being used in a completely modern way</b>.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It's a bit early to call this a trend but I thought I detected an increase in <b>'enclosed' furniture</b> at LDF 2012. I saw a few designs that <b>re-invented the wing-back form</b>, as well as <b>more overtly hooded pieces</b>. This links to my previous post where <a href="http://bit.ly/WvHuhh" target="_blank">feminine colours</a> help us create <b>softness, warmth and intimacy</b> in our homes because we find them lacking in the wider world. Likewise here, designers are exploring our need to for <b>a sense of sanctuary</b> as we <b>escape from our turbulent times into our favourite chair</b> or the <b>ultimate inner sanctum of the bed</b>.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of <b>feminine colours</b> that were on show at </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">LDF 2012</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I say 'feminine' because these are shades that are classically regarded as being female territory on the spectrum but, in this instance, it's as if they are being re-examined and tweaked to have a non-gender specific appeal. I think that they represent a desire to create in our homes the <b>softness and intimacy</b> that are so scarce in the outside world. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Nude pink</b> was a fairly significant trend and one that has been dipping in and out of the limelight (in both fashion and interiors) for the best part of a decade. And there seems to be a small but growing trend for an unusual palette of other feminine shades like <b>p</b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>urple, plum, mauve, shell pink, burnt orange and butter yellow</b>. They're unusual because they are not what you would picture as classic orange, pink etc. They're more <b>off-beat, subtle, in-between shades</b> and so avoid looking </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">saccharine-sweet or cloying. The unifying factor is that these are all <b>warm tones</b>, giving us <b>comfort in deeply uncertain times</b>. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
Here’s an interesting trend: bright colours were very much in evidence during LDF 2012. I suspect a lot of designers are getting a bit tired of the <a href="http://interiorsnut.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/prevailing-trends-at-london-design.html">prevailing trend</a><a href="http://interiorsnut.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/prevailing-trends-at-london-design.html"> for neutral / natural interiors</a> that they've flirted with for a couple of years, before going to the other extreme. But in fact, many of the pieces shown below <b>could sit happily in a neutral interior as the standout piece</b>. For example, my lounge is mostly sandy shades, pale grey and crisp white but with various pieces in <b>acid yellow</b> to stop it getting too safe. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
This bright colours trend contains several micro-trends, things like:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<b>block colours - whole items in one punchy colour</b>, probably the look that works best with the neutral / natural trend</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<b>primary colours </b>- particularly <b>tomato red</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<b>rainbow palettes - mixing lots of bright shades including orange and purple</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<b>acid-bright / flourescent </b>colours - especially <b>yellow, orange, pink</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<b>overlaid colours</b> - where colours are arranged in a pattern so that they seem to overlap to create new shades - big news in graphic design for quite a while now. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<b>bright geometric patterns</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<b>traditional designs in unexpectedly bright shades</b></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I've been a bit of a <b>marble </b>nut for about five years, buying it second-hand whenever I spot it - whether on marble-topped side tables or huge chopping boards. I felt like it was due a comeback. After <a href="http://interiorsnut.blogspot.co.uk/2011/04/my-edit-milan-design-week-standout.html">Milan 2011 I wrote that</a> marble was definitely returning but not to the extent I'd hoped. But now it is huge news. Marble is an <b>inherently beautiful material </b>that suggests <b>luxury without wastefulness</b> - because of its <b>sheer solidity</b>. It also gives a serene quality to a space. At LDF 2012 there were some unusual <b>marble accessories and lighting</b> as well as lots of <b>marble tabletops</b>. Some designers turned this convention on its head, literally, with <b>marble bases beneath wooden tops</b>. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Black</b>
was a trend that was very much in evidence at <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999;"><a href="http://interiorsnut.blogspot.com/b/post-preview?token=AEsADjoBAAA.DM56a8apeMG3ipIzqnBymQ">last year's design fairs</a> </span>but, even so, I was
surprised by how prevalent it was at this year's LDF. Black - whether on
furniture, accessories or lighting, whole items or just details - was
everywhere. Even designers without any black pieces used the colour on their display stands. Thankfully this look has
nothing to do with the black ash furniture beloved of the late 1980s adolescent </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">male</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">. The <b>finishes today include gloss, a soft sheen and a LOT of
matt blac</b>k. This last suggests <b>a grown-up, serious and unfussy
mood</b>. Some of the matt black pieces I saw reminded me of <b>volcanic rock - a
material that has both dramatic and unchanging 'elemental' qualities</b>). And I
particularly enjoyed seeing <b>mixes of matt and gloss within collections</b>, like <a href="http://www.anothercountry.com/collections/accessories/products/another-pottery-series">Another Country's Another Pottery Series</a>.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span lang="EN-US">
If
it seems like this trend is rocking the boat, it isn't. As in fashion, overtly
feminine looks have been out of vogue for some time now, replaced by more <b>androgynous or masculine styles</b> - and black interiors are a
continuation of this. And, as black is effectively a neutral shade, it slots in comfortably with the massive over-arching trend for <a href="http://bit.ly/RkVubo">neutrals and naturals</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">,</span>
while at the same time giving it a bold update.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">During <a href="http://www.londondesignfestival.com/">LDF 2012</a>, <a href="http://www.tomdixon.net/products/uk/eclectic-by-tom-dixon">Tom Dixon</a> will be promoting the collection that he launched at Maison & Objet in Paris earlier this year. The always-astute Dixon's 'sister' collection of home accessories is bang-on trend (although having met him many times over the years, I suspect he would probably hate to it to be described as such!). It is entitled 'Eclectic' because it includes objects that are incredibly varied in terms of style, material and purpose - or lack of purpose - and there's nothing wrong with that! The range makes use of materials like solid <b>copper</b> with a <b>hammered hexagonal</b> pattern, solid, hand-carved <b>marble,</b> <b>durable</b>, <b>matte black cast iron</b> and solid <b>oak</b> (spotting the <b>'solid' motif, conveying quality and trust</b>?). There are also growing <b>industrial influences</b> that hark back to Dixon's early days as a designer. Some of the accompanying blurb is very interesting for trend-nuts so I'll include it here...</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The first image was used to announce <a href="http://bit.ly/Qpywzg" target="_blank">Niki Jones</a>' forthcoming Decorex show, the other was for a <a href="http://bit.ly/Tq24j1" target="_blank">Dalani</a> sale of <a href="http://bit.ly/RfZ0oZ" target="_blank">Luxcambra</a> lighting.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I love boot fairs and have just been to <a href="http://bit.ly/Pj3nPF" target="_blank">one</a> that has always served me well in the past. But not today. I'm not really interested in many things made after about 1985, with my (current) golden eras being the <b>1930s, 1940s and 1970s</b>. Inevitably, less and less of this stuff is materialising at boot fairs. Today's fair was full of 1990s rubbish. It got me wondering if that's what my young daughters will be delightedly bringing home one day but, for me, it was singularly lacking in inspiration. I did see a couple of colour combinations that got me going. This tin of buttons on a stall full of boxes of colour-coded buttons (itself a treat!). <b>Creamy, amber-y neutrals mixed with intense pastel shades; pea green, sky blue, butter yellow, salmon pink.</b> Then this deflated dinghy! <b>Dark, bluish-grey with another butter yellow and 'Germolene' pink.</b></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I was very impressed by this brave new <a href="http://bit.ly/Om0PtP" target="_blank">fabric</a> and <a href="http://bit.ly/P3oseu" target="_blank">paper </a>design from textile bigwigs <a href="http://bit.ly/Oo2vCS" target="_blank">Sanderson</a>. Called 'Bellflower', it makes me think at once of the <b>Bloomsbury set's aesthetic</b> and <b>Sixties Scandinavian</b> design's <b>stylised naivety</b>. It sits perfectly with the <b><a href="http://bit.ly/NPuBrX" target="_blank">new country </a></b>look I'm so into these days, which includes <b>prints that are more foliage than flower</b>. I like the <b>bold, sunny, optimistic colourways</b> and can hardly choose a favourite, which makes a change for me. Now I've just got to build the summerhouse to go around it. </span><br />

<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I was
very taken by a chair I saw in the current issue of <a href="http://bit.ly/SLoB7h" target="_blank">The World of Interiors</a>
magazine, from <a href="http://bit.ly/PikxYl" target="_blank">Restoration Hardware</a>'s Deconstructed collection. I haven't ever given much thought to upholstered furniture of the old school until
now - other than to contemplate re-covering the odd piece in, say, a romping <a href="http://bit.ly/SLookd" target="_blank">Svenskt Tenn</a> botanical. But this collection looks at once <b>comfortable and austere</b>, <b>grand and
unfussy</b>. I like the <b>unbleached burlap (hessian)</b> fabric of the backing, just enough shades
away from the <b>antiqued cotton</b> covers for contrast. I like the <b>unpretentious</b>
walnut frame. But the best thing about these pieces is, of course, that Restoration Hardware have made the bold decision to leave them unframed, giving them <b>an honest quality</b> and <b>exposing the craftsmanship of the workings</b> as a thing of beauty. </span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I know that these chairs by <a href="http://www.marni-anticamera.com/02/arte-del-ritratto" target="_blank">Marni</a> have already been around the block but, for me, they were perhaps <i>the</i> standout pieces at Milan this year. Firstly because of the worthy back story, which is as brilliant as it is unusual (woven by Colombian ex-cons by way of rehabilitation and sold to raise money to support the children of imprisoned mothers). It's great to see <b>high-end designers putting something back</b>. Then there's the total <b>lack of glitz or pretension </b>about the chairs themselves - just <b>simple materials</b>: PVC tubing threaded onto metal frames. But most of all, being Marni, it's about the colourways. I keep scrapbooks of inspiring images that help me distil what I'm into and, after</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> years of cool tones, more recently it's been <b>warm, warm, warm</b>. In particular <b>pinks, reds, oranges and the curious shades in between</b>. These chairs, especially the ones shown here, are a perfect example of that. I only wish I could have snapped one up myself.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A sneak preview of a new interiors company here. Planning to launch in the Autumn, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><a href="http://bit.ly/LlRhid" target="_blank">Soda</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> is the work of husband and wife duo Vanessa Leigh Anders and </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><a href="http://bit.ly/LyyxPC" target="_blank">Ben Anders</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">. She's worked for numerous interiors magazines (we met while working on supplements for Elle Deco) while I've also shot house stories with Ben, a top interiors photographer. Both have a brilliant eye so I knew Soda would be great but even so I was really impressed by the first pieces on show in their very lovely East Dulwich home during the recent Dulwich Artists' Open House Weekend. The idea with Soda is to give </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>simple, functional </b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">vintage pieces a shot in the arm with <b>a judicious dash of eye-poppingly bright colour</b>. I loved the charming original objects, the happy-making palette (expect new colourways as the collections roll out) and best of all, <b>the quality of the finishes</b>. This is no weekend-with-a-paintpot project, the duo have gone to great lengths to find the right professionals to help deliver the high-end finishes they insist upon. <b>Shabby chic it most certainly is not</b>.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Over the last year, I've been working on this small project. And being an interiors nut, motherhood (even second - and final - time around) has sent me into nesting overdrive. To accommodate the thousands of tiny things that tiny people seem to need, I've been </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">asking myself searching questions about</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> the efficiency of every drawer and cupboard in the whole house, then re-organising everything from nursery to garden shed.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> I even found it necessary to renovate a massive dolls' house (don't ask), even as they were dragging me into hospital. So, although there's been no shortage of blog ideas buzzing around my head, there has been a distinct lack of time. Now that things are calmer, I hope to start picking up the reins again. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">To quote Jack Torrance in <i><a href="http://bit.ly/MAdqbP" target="_blank">The Shining</a></i>, "Been away!

It's in the materials, the finishes, the forms, the techniques, even their presentation (numerous <b>crate shelves</b> and <b>small, unpretentious flower displays</b>). No-one seems much interested in the glossy, the showy, conspicuous consumption, pretence or veneer. And thank heavens for that, it was always pretty naff and insecure - unless the tongue was firmly in the cheek. Anyway, here's a selection of images I took over the <a href="http://www.londondesignfestival.com/" target="_blank">London Design Festival</a> that, when put together, hopefully show what I'm talking about. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Some people are already bored of this trend and championing a return to glamour, decadence etc. To me, given the situation in the wider world, this seems crass and, in the case of many glossy fashion and interiors magazines I presume, at least in part, an attempt to appease their desperate advertisers. Until things turn around and I really can't imagine how that's going to happen in the western world (although I'm happy be proved wrong), this kind of design - if new design is needed at all - seems like the only way to proceed and the only look that I am comfortable living with. </span><br />
