Covet House’s trendsetting brands such as: @boca Covet House’s trendsetting brands such as: @bocadolobo, @delightfulll, @brabbu, @koket, @maisonvalentinaa, @circu_magical_furniture, @luxxumoderndesignliving, @@essential_home, @rug_society, @pullcast_jewelryhardware, @byfoogo and @caffelattehome provide the tools needed to help design updated and luxurious projects. Here's a few trends from the forecast for 2020 to inspire your interiors. INSPIRATION Cultural Fusion Globalisation is bringing people of the east and west closer. Cultural references are also influenced by trade, digital connection, migration and media, mechanisms that challenge and reinforce one culture over another. People get inspired by what and who they see online and this goes beyond whatever culture they are living in. There will always be local style and cultural niches, but people will be influencing others like never before. COLOUR PALETTE Classic Blue – Pantone® Colour of the Year 2020 Instilling calm, confidence, and connection, this enduring blue hue highlights our desire for a dependable and stable foundation on which to build as we cross the threshold into a new era. Suggestive of the sky at dusk, the reassuring qualities of the thought provoking PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue highlight our desire for a dependable and stable foundation on which to build as we cross the threshold into a new era. PATTERNS Geometrics Geometric patterns have been on an upward trend for years now, so much so that you can find geometric patterned anything, anywhere. In 2020, this kind of pattern is all about balance and being creating a statement with bold and vibrant patterns. #habitatonline #habitatmagsa #theartofliving #luxuryliving #trends2020 #interiordesign #furuniture #designworld #patterns #colourpalette #inspriation #covethouse
From the first sparkle in the imagination to the w From the first sparkle in the imagination to the will of creating a space to its final moments of realization, creating a play with textures, colours, and fabrics, until the last second where the thin line of dust is blown away from the cold marble top. All of this process requires a level of commitment and dedication, but mostly experience. For this reason, Maison Albar Hotels, the worldwide known luxury hotels chain, has chosen Epoca – Home, Palace & Hotel Concept, which has been proving itself as a reference in creating spaces that are not only eye-catching, but they also speak to the heart, for the production of its interiors. With a very Portuguese soul, the company was born in consequence of the evolution of a family company of handmade furniture, founded in 1947. The recent Le Monumental Palace Porto from Maison Albar Hotels is historically luxurious and is located in one of the best areas of the city. This hotel in the heart of Porto, the eldest and most famous café of the city since 1930, the Monumental Café, has currently become the predilect hotel for a luxury stay in Porto. Between the 63 bedrooms and 13 suites of a spacious intimacy, it’s refined and opponent location, offering excellency services like the Nuxe Spa or an incredible sensorial journey with a Michelin star chef cuisine. #habitatonline #habitatmagsa #theartofliving #luxuryliving #hotel #porto #travelgram #travel #interiordesign #cuisine #spa #traveltheworld #project #luxuryhotel #portugal🇵🇹 #epoca #lemonumentalpalacehotel
MultiPly, an eight-meter-high, carbon-neutral, tim MultiPly, an eight-meter-high, carbon-neutral, timber pavilion, made exclusively from American tulipwood, has opened to the public in Madrid Rio at its entrance to the Casa de Campo, as part of the Madrid Design Festival. The installation was unveiled on the 1st of February and will remain open for two weeks. A collaboration between Waugh Thistleton Architects, the American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC) and ARUP, MultiPly responds to two of the greatest challenges of our time: the growing need for housing and the urgency to fight climate change, presenting as a solution the combination of modular systems and sustainable building materials. “MultiPly is comprised of a maze-like series of interconnected spaces that overlap and intertwine. It has been conceived and constructed to encourage visitors to rethink the way we design and build our homes and cities. The three-dimensional structure is constructed from a flexible system of 12 cross-laminated timber (CLT) modules of American tulipwood with digitally manufactured joints as if it were a piece of furniture ready to assemble. More importantly, the 32 cubic meters of tulipwood used for MultiPly stores the equivalent of 22 tonnes of carbon dioxide and is naturally replaced with new growth in the U.S. forests in less than two minutes,” said Roderick Wiles, AHEC Regional Director. #habitatonline #habitatmagsa #theartofliving #luxuryliving #madriddesignfestival2020 #ecofriendly #ecofriendlyliving #timber #wood #naturelover #multiply #hardwood #casadecampo #sustainableliving #sustainability #redesigntheworld

Liam Gawne, from Miele South Africa, explains: “This unique system dispenses detergent automatically. Furthermore, the new dishwashers can be controlled by the Miele app and programmed from a mobile device. All that remains for the user to do, is to load and unload the machine, and occasionally replace the PowerDisk – everything else, and I mean everything else, can be left to the machine.” #habitatmagsa #habitatonline #theartofliving #luxuryliving #generatio7000 #miele #appliances #dishwasher #powerdisk #innovation #technology #smartappliances #futureishere

Charles Tanqueray was a pioneer who was in pursuit of the world’s finest gin, his pioneering spirit then led to the creation of Tanqueray NºTEN, a liquid that set the standard as the first ultra-premium gin. The fresh citrus heart gin, Tanqueray NºTEN is a small batch gin – the first ever to be distilled with whole, fresh citrus fruits instead of the rinds alone, which gives the gin its citrus heart and brings out more flavour in your cocktails.

The merging of art, abstraction and application is The merging of art, abstraction and application is a clear signature throughout this collection. Laguna is borne out of a collaboration with ARRCC for their project Cheetah Plains. OKHA created bespoke furniture for the luxury safari destination. The shape was motivated by a strong physical context, by landscape mass as well as the project’s internal spatial layout and was therefore informed both by practicality and nature’s poetry. Laguna can be customized in a range of materials. ‘The legs and table body will always be made from two different finishes or materials. Each represents a different physical element,’ adds Creative Director, Adam Court.

location: Lippstadt, Germany, EU | interior design location: Lippstadt, Germany, EU | interior design: Olaf Kitzig – @kitzigdesignstudios | images: Christian Laukemper This spacious 220 square metre bungalow projected the typical architectural style of ’60s Europe. It was subsequently extended through additional development to the side and cellar areas, adding 380 square metres of living space. The existing garages were then converted into a large and continuous total area, with generous glazing opening up to a spa and fitness area that accesses the inner courtyard. The brief to the designer was to establish a signature evoking bright, light-flooded and essentially modern interior design offering plenty of open space. In addition, there were to be optimal surfaces for the presentation of various art objects, installations and paintings. Says interior designer Olaf Kitzig: ‘The works were to have room to unfold and present a representative character while fitting seamlessly into the interior design concept. The processing and use of high-quality materials was a prerequisite; overall to deliver an upscale, artistic ambiance with a definitive signature. The result is imbued with a unique character further determined by a sensitive appreciation of art. #habitatmagsa #habitatonline #theartofliving #luxuryliving #interiordesign #designer #designinspiration #maketimefordesign #decor #art
