2016 har varit ett turbulent år i världen och det känns inte som att vi går mot ljusare tider tyvärr. Jag vill inte vara pessimist, men jag känner en viss oro för hur det kommer att bli och det kommer väl att visa sig under 2017.
2016 has been a turbulent year in the world and it doesn’t feel like we are going towards a bright future, unfortunately. I do not want to be pessimistic but I am worried about the future and I think we will know more after 2017.
In 2016 marble and the marble pattern has grown even bigger in interior and you have seen it on so many things and I think it will continue also during 2017 on sheets, wallpaper and pillows. Brass is still a very popular material and that will also continue but I think that the white metals are coming back strongly again. They have never quite disappeared but I think they will be just as strong as brass next year, I think Skultunas objects in white metal shows that. It is so nice to see the way an object can change appearance by depending on from which material it has been made.
It feels like we dare a little more year by year and by that I mean that we decorate with more personality, more color and more things than before. White is still very strong in our interior but now we can also see dark blue, black and patterned walls even more. It is also less important to have as few things as possible, now we want personal items that can lift an interior and become an eyecatcher.
It is fun to see all new creations that are released every year, it is nice to see that the ideas never ends, they just seem to flow on and on. IKEA has released a few exciting collections this year, I love Michael Anastassiades collection with the beautiful and stylish ceiling lamps, the flat light bulb has hit the market this year, sculptures that seem to the come out of the wall and media furniture for vinyl records are back looking gorgeous and nothing like the ones I had in the eighties.
Min favorit under året är nog ändå soffbordet av Gloria Cortina i mässing, det skapade ett riktigt ha-begär hos mig. Det ska bli så kul att se vad som kommer att skapas under 2017, personligen ska jag försöka att bli mer vågad i min inredning nästa år.
My favorite interior design object 2016 has to be the coffee table in brass by Gloria Cortina, I really treasure it. It will be so nice to see what will be designed during 2017, and my personal goal will be to be bolder in my interior next year.
