Homestyle: Trends for the new decade

Etro's Masai chair is a "scenographic and evocative tribute to Africa," with its ebonized finish, the shape of the armrest, inspired by traditional tools of local populations, and in the detail of the bronzed metal rings reminiscent of the jewelry of African tribes. Introduced during Salone del Mobile, the new paisley is an Arnica jacquard, whose warm colors recall the burnt lands of the savannah and a special interpretation in a symbolic Afro mood enriched with decorative fringes.

British designer Bethan Laura Wood nodded to details in Rosenthal's classic TAC tea set by Bauhaus architect Walter Gropius, where the lid top and handle come together to create a single flowing curve, in her playful Tongue collection for Rosenthal. Wood's design also references other elements throughout the brand's history, from the wiggles of Eduardo Paolozzi, to the hot pink flamingos that once took up residence in the center of the factory.

Marc Ange's Il Pavone (The Peacock) capsule collection for the Italian brand Visionnaire is the designer's allegory to luxury. Inspired by recent travels to India, he was struck by "this majestic animal ... he doesn't hide or defend himself, he doesn't escape. ... [His] time and energy are used to display his beauty." At the Miami showroom, Ange designed a Garden of Beauty, with a large peacock throne the centerpiece of the six-piece collection, mirroring the bird's dramatic plumage, opulently expressed in jewel-toned velvets in a delicate brass frame coated in bronze.

AT HOME for release January 2020 BY DESIGN Caption 05: Terrazzo continues to captivate -- in porcelain tile, accessories and here, in rug design. Peggy's Party is a design by Tali Roth for Empire Collection Rugs, a boutique line of custom, hand-crafted carpets from Aronson's Floor Covering. Titled "A Week in Venice," the collection is comprised of six styles with a distinctly Italian aesthetic, rich color palettes and natural fibers.

Master textile artist Paola Lenti created this extraordinary room divider out of small samples of her fabrics with stitchery showing a range of her extensive color palette.

During NYCxDesign week, Moooi launched the Liberty Table, designed by Atelier Van Lieshout, in its newly renovated showroom in Manhattan's NoMad neighborhood. Inspired by nature and materiality, made of American chestnut, the table reflects Arts and Crafts style, with clean lines and simple forms. Creator Joep van Lieshout says the table "does not follow the rules of design, it isn't logical and therefore is true to its name."

Pattern is rich in the maximalism movement. It's most definitely in the comfort zone of Amsterdam-based designer Marcel Wanders. He designed these mosaic coffee tables (which can double as seating) for Bisazza. The three patterns -- Pebbles, Norah and Meryl --were launched in the brand's Milan showroom during Salone del Mobile.

Clam, a modern sofa in mustard by Leo Dubreil and Baptiste Pilato for Ligne Roset shows off curves and does double duty as a chic sleeper. The bed-settee is easy to operate and designed to be viewed on all sides. The sleep area is generous, and those side curves create a stylish shape at both ends when open. Placed in the middle of a room, the piece is like an island for reading and resting.

An asymmetrical sink with an industrial look is a striking silhouette in matte black. The Escondido Vanity from Thompson Traders has an off-center design that offers additional counter space. Its sleek shape is elegance and grace in harmony. This is a new matte black finish from Thompson Traders, created by expert coppersmiths in Santa Clara del Cobre, Mexico. It complements popular design trends today.

DuraSquare is a slender, minimal, rectangular, matte black, metal framed vanity that houses a washbasin from Duravit. The basin is made from DuraCeram, which allows precise rims only a quarter-inch thick and maximizes the size. With a glass shelf beneath, it is available in a textured white, as well as blue, green and black. An optional towel holder sits right or left.
