Simplicity of style and quietly playful homeware with an autumnal twist

Rooted in Scandinavian simplicity, this design style is modern, minimal and effortlessly contemporary. It centres on simple, honest pieces that soften your space while adding quietly stylish touches.

For autumn 2026, our designers took inspiration from Copenhagen’s 3 Days of Design, now firmly established as Europe’s leading showcase for Scandinavian design. This year’s event reignited a deeper appreciation for the Scandinavian way of living, rooted in simplicity, a connection to nature, and a focus on wellbeing. These values were reflected in the widespread use of natural materials, organic forms and calming, restorative colours.

Tactile materials and textures take centre stage for AW26 and the colour scheme is harmonious, with muted earth tones and dusty pastels lending warmth and softness. The introduction of butter yellow also brings a fresh update – the result is an interior that feels relaxed, welcoming and calm.

“For authentic Scandinavian design we took inspiration from Copenhagen and Stockholm, which shows through in every piece”
