Hues of sand and clay blend seamlessly with gerbera, parchment and chai, creating a warm and inviting colour palette

 


Hartley

“The Hartley bookshelf builds on the simplicity and versatility of the Hartley range. Designed as an open, low-profile piece, it’s ideal for styling and propping. Its modular design allows for seamless expansion, making it adaptable to a variety of spaces while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic.” Explains GlobeWest Product Designer, Louis-Charles Dufresne


Ember

“Ember introduces a new level of tactile intrigue featuring a fluted texture front and carved pattern, ”drawing inspiration from vibrant markets and rich textiles that evoke a sense of craftsmanship. 

Ember marks a bold step in creating a more complex and dynamic design, elevating any space with its unique texture and intricate detailing.” Says Vanessa Chidgey, GlobeWest Product Designer
