Reflect

The age of intelligence may be upon us, but our romance with the past lives on. As smart technology re-shapes our lives, we take the opportunity to reflect on the design icons of our past. Visiting history’s best moments with fresh eyes, we borrow from the legacies of our luminaries to refashion our future.

Classic form meets opulent style

The rapid progress of new technology is tempered by the simple genius of classic architecture and design. The balance plays out in an opulent fusion of eclectic classic style. Hints of 70's glamour are enlivened by sassy bursts of 90's style. Yet understated luxury exudes an aura of elegant timelessness.

Colour tip

Don’t be afraid to use deep moody blues to add sophistication and elegance to your favourite room.

Spaces in the Reflect palette exude a moody opulence that is bold in statement and elegantly timeless. Classic form meets opulent style with eclectic mixes from different design eras.

Traditional colours are brought together in combinations that stay true to the classics while modern design twists are added through unexpected décor, furnishings and art. Metallic accents add to the luxurious feel of the trend.

Crumbling antiques create a beautiful contrast against contemporary décor in classic forms, and precious materials of brass and marble. Bold modern colour breaks from tradition and creates a distinction from the past.

Create the look: Reflect

This is my dream ‘room of one’s own’ - a modern take on an elegant space.

The bronze feature wall ups the glam factor, and the mix of furniture and accessories from the 50s to now keeps the feeling fresh and contemporary. Lighting would be hung low, and kept dim at all times.
