1: First out - Hey Stylish!

In the colour trend “Hey Stylish”, you will find deep shades and a flirtation with the elegant hotel style that will make your home look and feel like a chic boutique hotel. We started out by painting the Ivar cabinet in a steel blue colour and matched it with slender legs and slim handles. The legs Sven RAW and handles Felix RAW are also painted in a Steel Blue color (NCS 3614-B11G) for a luxurious monochrome look.

2: In Beige We Trust

In the color trend “In Beige We Trust.”, the color scale is toned down and close to nature, which gives a soft and calm feeling. The Ivar cabinet and the fluted Ivar fronts are painted in a soft beige Camee (NCS S 1002-Y50R), together with the legs Bertil 100 in a slightly white-stained ash that gives a discreet and natural look.
