pure ESSENCE
pure ESSENCE offers simplicity, functionality and concentration on essentials, plus a
concern with sustainability, quality and fine materials. The result is a pure, modern
aesthetic.
A mix of filigree elements and heavy forms is becoming more apparent, rather
than the angular and geometric forms that have mainly characterised the style so
far. Clear lines and fine surfaces create a light and aesthetic effect in this timeless
look.
Various accessories that make a hand-crafted impression enliven the style and
reflect a desire for authenticity and quality.
A sheer diversity of materials is much in evidence. Use is made of surfaces that
make a natural or lively impression, with straightgrain pine, ash, elm and subtly
rustic interpretations of oak predominating. The look of natural stone remains an
important attribute of the style.
The colour concept in pure ESSENCE is as reticent as the muted materials,
offering fine, subtle hues in taupe, mud and greyish-brown. White and light
grey underscore the subtly sensual style, with greyish powdered pastels setting
accentuation in the harmonious colour palette.
