What makes a house a

home? Look

around your space an

d imagine it

without the soft bea

uty of textiles.

Would it feel so hom

ely? Textiles

matter for making a

space your own,

for adding comfort a

nd the welcome

feeling home should

always give you.

But more than that,

textiles let you

change a space easil

y, in infinite

ways, and let you cr

eate the story

of your home exactly

as you want it.

I hope this issue in

spires you to

make a difference wi

th textiles in

your home.

me look at the renovation from a different

perspective. I guess it helped motivate me

to get things done. Here are some of the

First sold by IKEA in 1951, the wingbacked MK chair was loved for its style and

comfort. Now its back, renamed STRANDMON. The comfort and style are the same,

the quality is enhanced by modern technology! O STRANDMON wing chair RM975 40%

MAKING IT MORE RELEVANT

We used real-life scenarios to

sharpen our approach. Take

moving in together: Will you

have to give up your style or

preferences? No! We show a

bedroom that mixes two extreme

styles, but looks good. You can

have high pillows and low pillows,

different quilts, even different

mattresses on the same bed.

WHATS THE STORY?

With textiles it doesnt have to be

complicated to be creative. These

pictures are from a set-up we

made to show how easy and

cheap it can be to throw a party.

We started with the idea of bring

your own chair. Push some

benches and tables together,

add textiles, let people bring

a chair, some food, drink We

picked a backyard for this rather

than a grassy space to show

you can make the ordinary look

special with fabric and easy ideas.

Bistros, theatre stages and old factories

were designer Ola Wihlborgs inspiration

for the new HEKTAR range of lamps.

I started by designing the spotlight and

liked the way it turned out, says Ola.

The simple metal form with the matt

When they met at a party, Bernd and Gregor

bonded over a shared passion for interiors.

I think you were in costume, performing,

while I had my camera, taking pictures, says

Gregor. Theyve been great friends ever since

Can you believe its six?

Fall back in love with natureWe have a long-term relationship with nature, say Sissi and Lisa, the designers behind the fantasy leaf pattern on the new VERENS plates. If you live an urban life, it becomes more important to bring nature into your home. The colours and motifs are soothing and really help you unwind. Having green in your home is a reminder that even if the leaves are falling, theyll come back again in spring.
