Marimekko-style colours

To let the homeowners' eclectic Marimekko-style furnishings take center stage, designer Victor Loh proposed a chic, contemporary base palette of black, white, and grey hues. This Marimekko-style flat's floor has a sophisticated gunmetal grey tone, while the cabinetry mixes glossy white and matte grey laminate accented with black veneer.

Pops of saturated color add an unmistakably Marimekko touch against this monochromatic backdrop. The green glass pendant lights complement the iconic Poly chairs in a jolting cluster of contemporary eclectic style.
