Dare to mix materials…
The materials, the feel, the textures… everything blends and intertwines in subtle harmonies: metal and natural stone collide without clashing; wood warms without diminishing, rattan lightens, roughness awakens and softness is jostled… In short, interior design becomes creative and plays with contrasts! A little overview of successful combinations.
# Wood, marble and metal
Solid sheesham gives the combination authenticity and aesthetics, marble gives it nobility and natural style… the metal details, the designer feel: a bold and successful blend.
# Pale golden wood and metal
Not only do some pieces of furniture skilfully combine the contrast of materials but also modularity of forms: if you want a classic sideboard, use the metal stand to create the tall version, and if you want an ultra-contemporary low sideboard, turn the stand upside down! A clever mix of creativity and inventiveness.

# Dark wood and metal
In the workshops of the 1930s, the blend of wood and metal was used in the design of much utility furniture. The aim was to create furniture that was both useful and durable.
The trend is still with us and is varied with great inventiveness: elm and metal, sheesham and metal… Bookcases, tables, chairs, benches, all opportunities to create the distinctive pieces that we love to display in our contemporary interiors.
