Inspired by the opulent beauty of these corals, and in an effort to raise awareness about these endangered species, our new table light Coral Royale brings the tradition of coral to contemporary interior design settings.
Our designer Pei Li employs coral motifs in the new table lamp through watercolour drawings that are later transferred onto a silk canvas and embroidered by our master in Su embroidery, a sophisticated technique of hand-working split silk threads (see here > A Two-thousand-year old Tradition in Contemporary Luxury Home Decor). The two silk embroideries are subsequently encased by pieces of acrylic and integrated into the lamp. We have therefore successfully preserved this traditional oriental motif and revived the Chinese embroidery technique in our contemporary design of a functional decorative object.

1. CHAMELEON with Earthy Tones
Natural aspects of design will be celebrated this year more than ever, for nature is not only the motivation of companies to create more sustainable products but also the inspiration for a new aesthetic. One that highlights those earthy palettes mimicking virgin landscapes, as well as aspects like rawness, texture, camouflage and balance, which characterise most natural materials. In 2020 we will find shades of olive, browns, chocolate and variations of lighter tonalities like white, and beige or pastels, which remind us of the colours found in nature. In this context of minimal atmospheres, highlighting the textures and shades of wood, ceramics, stone and fabrics, constitute the strongest trend for the year. The relaxing shine of the golden brass framing the embroidery of Coral Royale recalls the purity of unworked metal, and the intense, yet calming tones of the
silk embroidery, bring a touch of light to the atmosphere without creating dramatic contrasts between the objects present in the room and the design of the space. The transparency of the silk embroidery employed in Coral Royale, conveys
the trueness of our design intention of defining the natural trend, while maintaining the fineness of traditional silk embroidery. Coral Royale will suit perfectly in atmospheres dominated by chocolate, olive, terracotta, and clay.

2. A GAME OF CONTRASTS with Bold Monochromatic
Bold monochromatically enhanced spaces are visually satisfying and will give you an opportunity to play with design in many different ways. Contrasting accessories are a tempting option: crimson or coral, for instance, will stand out in any shades of blue, but also in emerald green or in darker environments. If Coral Royale could camouflage in nature-inspired environments by integrating its brass and coral tones in earthy palettes, it will achieve the status of a jewel in monochromatic interiors.
