Sofa Trend Insight | Our Designers’ Trip to Milan

Each year, our design team visits Salone del Mobile in Milan - one of the most influential events in the global furniture calendar. It’s where the industry comes together to share ideas, explore new directions and set the tone for what’s next for furniture.

For us, it’s an important part of staying connected to how design is evolving. From rich textures and colour palettes to bold forms and functionality, the show offers valuable insight into the details that shape contemporary living. This year, we saw a strong emphasis on texture, comfort and considered design - elements that continue to influence new designs that we’re always evolving alongside our customers.

“Milan is always a standout moment in the design calendar. It’s an invaluable opportunity to see what’s shaping the industry globally, and it never fails to spark fresh inspiration and creative thinking across the team.” - Jack Duffell, Head of Design

We’ve returned from Milan feeling inspired, with fresh ideas inspired from every corner of the world - all part of our ongoing commitment to considered design and creating sofas that feel as good as they look. We cemented ideas and trend palettes that had already been taking shape in the office - and there’s nothing quite like seeing those instincts reflected on a global stage.
