TrendLife Interiors

It's Pantone’s colour of the year, a TrendLife favourite and it’s bound to be a big high street hit. The shade is a deeper, more season-appropriate version of this summer’s turquoise and is soon to be found all over the spreads of glossy magazines.

Lagoon works great as an accent colour against a neutral colour scheme or if you’re feeling adventurous, contrast with another of this season’s favourite colours living coral.

Think of it as ‘upcycling extreme’; a coffee table crafted from a trolley cart and an old Victorian factory floor. This has just got to be about the edgiest coffee table on the market. Granted, It’s not for everyone (imagine wheeling this beauty out for tea with the vicar), but for those whose indoor space allows for this kind of artistic deviation it is a piece to be marveled.

Charles and Ray Eames designed La Chaise (the fine piece in front of you) in 1948 for a competition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York after being inspired by "Floating Figure", a sculpture by Gaston Lachaise. The unbelievable elegance of this assertive seating sculpture enables any number of sitting and reclining positions and leads me to recognise La Chaise as a true icon of organic design.
