A
N EXCITING ADDITION to The Base and its new homewares precinct is Citta Design, a New Zealand design company that creates enduring design staples and limited edition seasonal collections for you and your home that are always fresh and original. Based on a relaxed antipodean philosophy of life and travel, the products are designed in New Zealand to be useful, beautiful and even a little bit fun. A change of season means a shift in mood. From London to Greece, Copenhagen and Paris, Citta Design is inspired by the world’s unique cultures. With each collection, they share a global design story, retold by you – through the way you live and bring its pattern, colour and texture into your home. The winter 2015 collection, “Deco Deco” is inspired by Paris and the Art Deco movement of the 20s and 30s. The design team envisaged a slice of Parisian life, as seen through a contemporary interior lens, although the collection is inspired as much by its inhabitants as the city itself. Famous figures of the age – from performer Josephine Baker to artist Picasso, designer Chanel
and philosopher Jean Paul Sartre – influence the collection’s stylistic themes. They embody a comfortable glamour that’s chic, relaxed, and occasionally a touch risqué. These influences range from monochromatic glamour to perfect imperfection. There are decorative exotic flourishes, from a riot of graphic, tribal pattern, to celestial references to moons, stars and galaxies. A refined, elegant attitude in luxe textures is enlivened with a signature floral, embellishments inspired by beading, and touches of platinum metallics. The palette pulls together black, charcoal and limestone white, with accents of mustard and larkspur, lilac, rose and caper. Of course, being Citta Design, the collection has an element of wit that’s sure to make Francophiles and style lovers exclaim ‘ooh, the very chic of it!’ Head along to Citta Design at The Base and fill your colourful life with the things you love. may 2015 | 15
