Designer Loves: Carden Cunietti
As part of its First Look initiative, the Design Centre asked top designers to choose their favourite products from spring/summer 21’s collections. Carden Cunietti’s vibrant selection is below – but first, a word on colour from Eleanora Cunietti, since First Look is curated as a series of tempting palettes.
Is there a colour you are consistently drawn to in your work?
Really bright coral – I love the retro feel of the colour but it’s hard to get clients to go for it! I suppose that’s why I picked this range on the wheel…
What timeless colour should we all be embracing this year?
Muddy colours are really IT right now. If I had to choose one or two, then dark mustard ochre or caramel always look classic on a wall. But does it look good with coral??
-
- ‘Lontano Lontano’ fabric, Dedar: “I just ordered a sample of this last week for a children’s study project, for blinds or walling – soooo dreamy”
-
- ‘Large Ophelia’ wall light, Porta Romana: “The organic shape of this wall light is very Jean Royère in form, but perfect for a summer house against a coloured wall”
-
- ‘Riviera du Levant’ fabric, Misia at Colony: “I’ve got some samples of the new Misia French Riviera collection – they are fab”
-
- ‘King’s’ chair, Julian Chichester: “I love the simplicity of this Italian 50s-style chair, and the lacquered coloured arm is a nice touch”
-
- ‘Outside the Box’ wallcovering, Asteré at Abbott + Boyd: “We’ve used this as a custom product [from the designers] Porter Teleo before, but we’re so happy you can now get it from Asteré at Abbott + Boyd at a printed price!”
