Ancient Practices | 2026 Design Direction

Feb 22, 2026

Seek inspiration from our latest trend forecast for contemporary interiors "Ancient Practices".

Spaces unfold in a grounded rhythm of warmth and intention, where ancient practices meet contemporary refinement. A balance of soft-touch fabrics and warm marbles offers a sense of luxury, anchored by the rich depth of darker woods and nostalgic tones.

Rounded edges, organic forms and block leg profiles bring sculptural softness, while parquetry detailing and ceramic homewares celebrate artisanal beauty. 

Deep, earthy hues of chocolate, thyme and emperador marble are softened with warm upholstery tones of chestnut, tawny and brunette. 

 


Helio

“Helio pairs sculptural form with material contrast. A solid marble pillar leg is set into a curved veneer base that crescents around it. It is balanced and refined, designed to be the centrepiece.”

Vanessa Chidgey, GlobeWest Product Designer


Andes

Crafted from solid oak, Andes is defined by carved detailing that introduces texture and depth. Clean, simple forms are paired with tactile surfaces, creating a collection that feels both timeless and contemporary. A quiet celebration of unique design and material integrity.
