a lilac thread through everyday objects
this december 2021 selection explored lilac and blue-violet through everyday objects, following pantone’s very peri announcement for 2022. retained as a design archive, it considers how a colour moves between glass, metal, ceramics and textiles.
our melbourne interior styling approach selects these smaller details in relation to the whole room. the examples below are historical references; current availability, colours and product specifications should be confirmed with each maker.
wave pitcher — sophie lou jacobsen
the wave pitcher introduces colour through glass and an expressive handle. an everyday vessel can contribute to a setting through both its function and its silhouette.
jex vinyl stand — idle hands design
the jex stand gives a personal collection a defined place. its lilac finish makes a practical object part of the colour story, rather than a detail to conceal.
glass orb — only orb
the spherical vessel offers a different profile from a conventional candle jar. consider its scale beside other objects and the preference for fragrance of those using the room.
reusable cup — frank green
the frank green cup was included for its combination of everyday use and colour. assess a reusable object for its suitability, maintenance and expected use rather than relying on a broad environmental label.
sicilia bowl — octaevo
octaevo’s ceramic bowl provides a sculptural centre for a table or shelf. its form and colour can be considered alongside the pieces already in the setting.
lilac bedlinen — bed threads
the bed threads selection shows the colour at a larger, softer scale. textiles change with folds and light, making physical samples useful when coordinating them with curtains and upholstery.
shorty locker — mustard made
the shorty locker brings colour to freestanding storage. review dimensions, access and what needs to be stored before choosing a piece for a particular room.
furniture selection brings these practical requirements together with proportion and palette, allowing expressive pieces to belong within a cohesive interior.
