This year’s Clerkenwell Design Week highlighted a renewed evolution in the materials specified to bring warmth and character into interiors. Across the showrooms, the demand was for surfaces with deeper, light-responsive tactility, raw mineral palettes, and an uncompromising commitment to sustainability.
We’ve consolidated these festival highlights into three distinct material directions to support your upcoming projects.
A curation focused on the power of touch. This direction brings together linear fluted profiles, dimensional geometric reliefs, and raw, handcrafted textures to break up flat surfaces and add depth to a wall.
Key Elements: Linear fluted profiles, geometric reliefs, handcrafted textures.
Spec For: Feature walls, commercial zoning, and hospitality spaces.
Artiza – Handcrafted effect
A modern focus on classic earth tones. This direction explores how ochre, sand, and deep burnt orange are being reinvented using intricate relief patterns, traditional encaustics, and slim brick formats to bring authentic warmth into an interior.
Key Elements: Patterned encaustics, warm mineral clays, slim brick formats.
Spec For: Character-driven commercial spaces and warm residential contexts.
A sophisticated approach to nature-inspired design. This direction pairs deep forest greens and biophilic patterns with the dramatic look of heavily veined stone-effects, warm timber-effects, and relaxed, tumbled edges – creating a rich contrast between organic detail and classic texture.
Key Elements: Forest green glazes, biophilic patterns, stone and timber-effects, tumbled edges.
Spec For: Luxury hospitality, wellness-centric projects, and corporate calming zones.
