Australian furniture brand GlobeWest introduces Collections 2020, including 28 brand new ranges.

Overarching design and product development influences include a desire for human connection, the wonders of nature and the increasing need for stillness and balance.

“Striking round and oval forms invite connectivity, promoting face-to-face conversation”, explains GlobeWest Design Manager Keti Lytras.

“Natural elements continue their importance, bringing a sense of familiarity whilst a muted colour palette celebrates our varied landscape in a harmonious, very liveable way. Terracotta and rouge hues, golden highlights, soft beiges, cobalt blue, matte blacks, greens, and chocolate browns also feature,“ she continues.

“Double pillowing and ultra-soft materials summon relaxation whilst cocoon-like forms bring a sense of embrace. Sculptural silhouettes in bold, coloured marble ground spaces, making a minimalist statement,” concludes Lytras.

6 progressive design directions created by the Melbourne-based design team led the collections’ product development and speak to the brands’ signature design diversity proposition:

The inspirations, silhouettes, textures, colours and materials within each direction reveal a refreshing take on interiors into the future.

The mix of traditional craftsmanship and finishes with new shapes and colours bring a sense of joy and hope.  Terrazzo, twisted cord, rattan and travertine combine in splendour whilst cobalt blue, soft yellow and terracotta hues add a playful twist to velvets, linens and more.
