Romantic Brutalism | 2027 Design Direction

Jul 27, 2026

Seek inspiration from our latest trend forecast for contemporary interiors "Romantic Brutalism".

Soft, poetic and quietly expressive, this direction brings romantic colour and flowing form together. A gentler interpretation of brutalism, it balances chunky proportions with softened edges.

Brushed Stainless Steel, upholstered forms and coloured timber veneers create material interest, while Rosado and Ocean Marble bring a sense of movement.

A delicate palette of Soft Peach, Rosemary and Lilac pairs with Noyack Thyme and Amber Weave, keeping the mood layered and refined.



Willa Occasional Chair

“Willa Occasional was designed as soft architecture, compact in scale but strong in presence. The chamfered frame detail brings refinement, while the upholstery options allow the chair to feel either bold and graphic or warm and textural.”

Vanessa Di Francesco, GlobeWest Product Designer


Seville Montano

“Seville Montano was designed to celebrate material and surface through a clean, architectural form. The rippling tile texture brings depth to the high-gloss finish, while the simple geometry keeps the collection grounded and versatile.”
