From Mughal-inspired woven upholstery to the latest outdoor version of a beloved quartz surface, here are some of the new items in the market we love!
By Asih Jenie -
Mughal Magnificence
Designed by Patricia Urquiola for Spanish rug brand Gan, the Garden Layers collection takes inspiration from Mughal architecture. The collection comprises a wide range of carpets, mattresses, side tables, daybeds, rolls and cushions made with recycled PET fabrics and fillings engineered for outdoor use while maintaining the comfort level of indoor spaces. A Garden Layer recycles as many as 882 plastic bottles, while the roll cushion takes 224 bottles – a great way to contribute to the sustainable culture.
Gan Garden Layer collection is available from www.gan-rugs.com, price upon request.
Mediterranean Tradition
Brainchild of legendary designer Patricia Urquiola, the Tierras tile collection takes inspiration from the unique sedimentation in the Mediterranean area. Unglazed and coloured using dry powders, Tierras has a highly tactile surface and rich earthy shades saturated by a black base. The collection comprises a wide range of colours, shapes and textures that allows for infinite combinations. Mutina is available in Singapore from Rice Fields, www.rice-fields.com Price upon request.
