trend report: decorex international 2024: best of british
based in london, decorex is the UK’s annual celebration of interior design. it’s a great research experience for designers who can discover emerging and established brands, gain industry insight through guest speakers and connect with fellow designers.
in 2024, sustainability remained at the forefront of design through the use of responsibly sourced and recycled materials, plus a focus on circular design, with products designed for longevity contributing to a longer product lifecycle. Aside from that, there was an abundance of use of colour, clashing prints, maximalism, and bespoke designs.
in this trend report, we have chosen to highlight British designers and brands that showcase the modern heritage, craftsmanship, and natural elements trends.
craftmanship: original btc
lighting company original btc uses traditional methods to produce beautiful contemporary lighting designs with each bone china piece produced in stoke-on-trent, where now only a handful of ceramics factories exist.
the fin range uses organic shapes for a modern yet classic design that appeals to consumers' desire for timeless designs that fit the craftmanship trend.
natural elements: holmes bespoke x hyde house
holmes bespoke has partnered with british furniture specialist hyde house to introduce an exclusive furniture collection that focuses on craftsmanship, sustainability and the use of natural materials aligned with the natural elements trend.
inspired by holmes bespoke’s latest hidden gems collection, the pieces are expertly handwoven from premium, sustainable new zealand wool offering a luxurious and durable fabric ideal for upholstery.
modern heritage: tatie lou
tatie lou was founded by louise wargnier in 2019, an experienced textile designer and expert in the japanese art of shibori; she was able to transfer her work to striking wallpapers, velvets and beautiful fringed lampshades. working with local suppliers and manufacturers means tatie lou is able to reduce waste and carbon footprint.
deep colour and pattern are key elements of a modern heritage style which fits perfectly with tatie lou's latest collection which draws inspiration from the rococo period successfully combining this ornamental style with a rich modern colour palette.
trend report: bar/restaurant design: nostalgia
we have recently seen the emergence of nostalgia in bar and restaurant design which will continue through into 2025.
think velvety textures, wooden tones, and geometric shapes combined with warm colours that invoke echoes of the past. lighting plays a huge role in setting the mood for memory and contemporary lighting can help keep the design current and fresh.
in other schemes, designers may highlight vintage ceiling beams and feature reclaimed furniture which also ties in nicely with the ongoing need for sustainability and conscious design.
the key to a successful design is the balance between old and new favouring nostalgia over novelty with a focus placed on how people interact with an interior.
beginners diner, san diego by ch projects & post company
beginners diner is one of five f&b venues opened at san diego’s lafayette hotel. the eatery's chrome frontage and neon signs draw customers into a 1940s-inspired diner. once inside pops of chrome, rich red upholstery, cherry wood panelling and sconce lights evoke a strong feeling of nostalgia and pay tribute to the traditional americana dishes served.
fotografiska museum, berlin by studio aisslinger
this contemporary museum of photography, art, and culture also features a restaurant, bars, a cafe, and a ballroom alongside its extensive gallery space.
the listed building that once homed the famous kunsthaus tacheles artists’ squat, has been extensively renovated though the large-scale graffiti protected by preservation orders remains. in contrast to this gritty backdrop studio aisslinger successfully combined high-end finishes, a retro colour palette and mid-century modern furniture creating the perfect mix of old and new.
de witt, dordrecht, by studio modijefsky
studio modijefsky is at the forefront of hospitality design in the netherlands. their designs often lean into nostalgia through their use of materials and colour schemes and by relating design to the location's context. however, thoughtful space planning and design maintain a contemporary feel. de witt, a brasserie and cinema space, is a perfect example of this.
