Dear readers, This issue is all about colour and how it will influence Interiors, Design and Fashion in 2019. From books we covet and decorating with colour using a mid-century modern style, to trend forecasting for next year, our Pantone obsession and CovetED’s very own selection of favourite trends regarding Colour and how it can be used in Interior Design and Fashion. We continue to explore the treasures of craftsmanship, presenting the new project CULTURE CREATIVE HUB. Created by COVET FOUNDATION with the focus of challenging the ancestral arts through design and projecting them into the future, CULTURE promotes a space of discussion, bringing together artisans, artists and designers for an unexpected link between Arts&Crafts and Design. You will find out a lot more about this project in the next pages. On News&Trends, we bring you the latest news of the industry as usual. I would like to highlight the new project COVET NYC, a new luxury design experience in New York which is shaking the interior design industry worldwide. Speaking of luxury experiences, have you ever wondered how a luxury hotel works behind the scenes to deliver the best possible one? CovetED spent a week at Vila Vita Parc, one of the Leading Hotels of the world, for you to find out. Also don’t miss out interviews to top interior designers Karen Howes and Tim Mutton, whom we loved to meat in person, and the beautiful projects worldwide created by the world’s leading professionals of the industry.

The uniqueness of a HOME’S SOCIETY soul could be measured by its culture, its knowledge, its generosity, its style, and its classy way to deal with the world. It’s a humble person and still has a very nice taste for a luxury world. It’s a very rare soul that never makes us forget that what you give is what you get!

NEWS & TRENDS //
This project is taking place in the new Covet Town, a Design & Craftsmanship city. An enormous project of Covet Group that is planned to welcome about 2500 people and promises to be a creative centre for design lovers. This new project combines different creative working spaces, from design studios and prototyping as well as production ateliers, museum, marketing players, and editorial teams. In one of these spaces of Covet Town, the artistic ateliers created 12 exquisites and one-of-a-kind stools. The pioneering handcrafted creations will be displayed in some of the greatest events of craftsmanship like the Luxury Design Craftsmanship Summit 2019, in Paris, France. The first challenge is to recreate a specific design stool called Erosion, originally designed by Boca do Lobo, with the specific crafts skills of every artisan in the artistic atelier. The final goal is the chance to stand out with pioneering handcrafted creations integrated into a curated Collection. One of the stools is now concluded and it was made with the ancient art of marquetry. The technique used refers to the process of applying thin slices of wood to the structure of the piece, to form the final decorative pattern.

CRAFTSMANSHIP The exquisite Murano glass stool was another pioneering handcrafted creation that was developed. Murano glass or Venetian glass is made on the Venetian island of Murano, a glassmaking centre for over 700 years. During many years, Murano glassmakers created Cristallo - an almost transparent material that is considered the finest glass in the world. After this, a white-coloured glass (milk glass called Lattimo) was developed and takes the appearance of porcelain. The Murano glassmakers are considered the finest makers of mirrors in Europe. The Murano glass stool created in the artistic atelier of CULTURE has a delicate and distinctive shape with unique patterns. This is an unrivalled piece in the world of arts and crafts that offers an exclusive and immersive experience. The third reinterpretation of the Erosion stool was made by using the technique of painting. Depicted in this stool is the idea of translation. The handmade technique of painting was used to create exquisite flower patterns combining traditional with modern elements.
NEWS & TRENDS //
ARTS + CRAFTS + DESIGN The CULTURE Creative Hub is assembling its first steps towards a brighter future of the craftsmanship world and the pioneering handcrafted creations taking shape in the artistic atelier are only the beginning. More projects are still come and the foundation wants as many people to be involved as possible in this unique process of developing pieces with meaning and character.

Pierre HermÊ and l’Occitane
Nowadays, self-expressive colours and non-traditional hues are becoming a favourite among designers and consumers alike. Whether you prefer brighter or bolder hues, colour is imperative in interiors as it adds vibrancy, character and style to one’s home decor. Now, CovetED has selected six colours that are bound to trend in the foreseeable future due to their shimmering and translucent qualities that are intrinsic to human development, as one simply cannot resist.

CONGO CHAIR “L’AFRIQUE” BY STUDIO JOB & THEO RUTH LIMITED COLLECTORS EDITION OF 6 CHAIRS. Dutch designer Theo Ruth (Netherlands 1915-1971) made an icon of the fifties when he designed the “Congo Chair” for Artifort in 1952. The chair is the designers’ interpretation of traditional African seating. The chair comprises two separate elements that cleverly fit together. Gravity does the rest.wThe upholstery is “l’Afrique” by Studio Job. l’Afrique emerged from the collaboration between Studio Job and Land Rover (2012-13). The designers were asked to design and produce a unique, sculptural Land Rover Defender on the occasion of the 65th anniversary of the iconic vehicle. The Defender is strongly rooted in Africa. The designers, therefore, asked manufacturer Vlisco – a specialist for more than 100 years in the production and distribution of speciality fabrics for the African continent – to print a single batch designed by Studio Job for the interior upholstery of the Land Rover.

Milan polychromehermès shakes up the shades at the Museo della Permanente.
HERMÈS SHOWS ITS COLOURS The 2018 chromatic palette punctuates interior decor, backs up powerful drawings, and resonates in materials. Glossy and bright on lacquer, porcelain and textiles, colour is more matt and denser on leather and wood. Rigorous creativity and joyful meticulousness. To shed light on this chromatic quirk, Charlotte Macaux Perelman and Alexis Fabry, the two artistic directors of this universe, explained that “colour draws attention to another scale of objects”. The game of tangram inspired three lacquered Tangram boxes, designed by Gianpaolo Pagni the boxes are handpainted and the colours were applied with sponges Tangram box, small model.
