The year 2025 brings with it an increasing desire for comforting surroundings, a tendency that’s revealed by ‘Mocha Mousse’, the Colour of the Year chosen by industry arbiters the Pantone Institute. This warm, subtle brown recalls soft plaids and luscious chocolate whirls, expressing an affinity with nature, a connection with the most genuine aspect of the world, combined with an irresistible desire for safety and comfort. The result is space for furnishings that appeal to the eye and the spirit. Geometric patterns also make a comeback in 2025, decorating fabrics and surfaces and becoming a furnishing complement in their own rite, expressing a fascinating rigour that can provide some striking special effects.
