In May 2025, interior design is all about pieces that speak - not just through their form, but through the stories they embody. This is a season for spaces with soul, where every object holds a narrative, evokes emotion, and leaves a lasting impression. Our latest curated setting reflects this shift - showcasing a selection of pieces that bridge cultures, craftsmanship, and contemporary aesthetics.

Let us guide you through what’s trending, through the lens of our latest interior inspiration.

1. Adamastor Rug - A Myth Beneath Your Feet

Part of our upcoming 2026 collection, the Adamastor Rug draws from one of Portugal’s most powerful literary figures: the mythical sea giant Adamastor, immortalised by Luís de Camões in Os Lusíadas. This piece transforms legend into texture, capturing the chaos and beauty of ocean storms through hand-tufted lines, tonal depth, and movement.

The bold whirlpool motifs seem almost in motion, echoing the trend of rugs as statement artworks, not mere accessories. The use of deep navy, grey, and ivory recalls sea foam on dark waters, while its generous scale anchors the entire room. In a design world hungry for narrative-rich elements, Adamastor is both poetic and powerful, mythology woven into modern luxury.


2. Naruto Armchair - Origami Calm in a Chaotic World

Named after the Japanese city famous for its whirling tidal currents, the Naruto Armchair is a quiet storm in itself. This new 2026 design fuses precision and softness: clean lines fold into one another like sculptural origami, yet the seat remains generously padded, enveloping the body with unexpected comfort.

The armchair’s stance and wraparound backrest follow the Japanese design principle of “ma”, the space between things,  bringing airiness and calm to the room. Upholstered in either soft neutrals or bold colours, it reflects the 2025 trend of cultural storytelling through colour and form. Adding to its versatility, Naruto features a discreet swivel base, allowing gentle rotation that enhances both functionality and flow. This is not just a seat, it’s a statement of balance, tradition, and serenity.


3. Al-Hijr Coffee Table - Timeless Stone, Sacred Form

The Al-Hijr Coffee Table takes its name from the ancient Nabatean city in Saudi Arabia, also known as Hegra, a place of mystery, geometry, and silent endurance. Designed as part of our 2026 launch, the table is crafted in solid stone, featuring symmetrical lines and subtle carvings that nod to the sacred tomb facades found in Al-Hijr.

What makes this piece truly relevant in 2025 is the return to spiritual minimalism, interiors that soothe and centre us. Its monolithic presence commands attention without overwhelming. Whether used in a hotel lobby or private living room, Al-Hijr grounds the space with timeless elegance. It’s more than a coffee table, it’s architecture in miniature.


4. Atacama Sideboard – Where Earth Meets Essence

From the mineral-rich landscapes of Chile’s Atacama Desert comes the inspiration for one of our most elemental and expressive sideboards. The Atacama Sideboard, part of our 2026 collection, embodies the 2025 trend of grounding interiors in natural, untamed beauty.

Its essence captures the cracked earth textures and sunbaked ridges of the desert, with rhythmic wooden reliefs that seem carved by wind and time. Rich walnut, oxidised metal and a matte stone finish converge in a palette that feels both raw and refined. Inside, intelligent compartments offer contemporary storage, but the soul of the piece lies in its exterior: sculptural, serene, and deeply rooted in place. In a design world seeking authenticity, Atacama reminds us that nature is the ultimate master.


5. Antelope Canyon Sofa - Curves Inspired by Nature’s Carvings

Already a favourite among our clients, the Antelope Canyon Sofa pays homage to the Arizona canyon known for its soft, sinuous rock formations. This sofa reimagines those curves in plush upholstery and sculpted cushioning.

As curved furniture remains a strong trend in 2025, Antelope Canyon stands out by pairing natural inspiration with architectural volume. Its generous dimensions offer a comforting embrace, ideal for hospitality lounges or residential sanctuaries. The fabric, available in a desert palette of terracotta, sand, and sunset tones, enhances the connection to earth. This is a piece that invites pause, invites presence, a sculptural embrace in the middle of the room.


6. Coco Side Table - Elegance in Restraint

The Coco Side Table is a masterclass in quiet luxury. While other pieces in the environment make bolder statements, Coco whispers. Its design is inspired by the grace and discipline of ballet, with delicate lines, a precise silhouette, and subtle reflections from brushed brass or lacquered finishes.

Compact and versatile, Coco aligns with the luxury trend of 2025: small pieces that are impeccably crafted and highly functional. Its rounded top and slender stem bring balance to the room, working beautifully beside the Antelope Canyon Sofa or alone in a reading nook. It’s the kind of piece that earns attention slowly, but lingers in the memory.


Beyond Trends: The Power of Meaningful Design

May 2025 signals more than just a seasonal shift in aesthetics, it marks a deeper movement toward design with soul. In an era saturated with fast trends and fleeting visuals, what truly stands out are pieces that tell stories, spark emotion, and connect us to something greater than ourselves. Our curated setting for this season embodies that spirit.

Crafted with sculptural intention, rooted in cultural memory, and brought to life by master artisans, each element in our 2026 collection invites a pause. These are not just furnishings, they are experiences. From the flowing forms that mimic natural landscapes to the thoughtful textures that echo centuries-old craft, the collection speaks a language of presence, purpose, and permanence.

Design is no longer only about what looks good, it's about what feels right. The trend of the moment is timelessness: objects that outlast seasons, that resonate across cultures, and that shape environments into stories. As we look ahead, one thing is certain, meaningful design is not a passing trend, it’s the future.
