TOP 5: Bright colors for darkening days – the most inspiring new products of the month

As the air turns crisp, your home should heat up with warmth and style. Get ready to embrace the upcoming season with Finnish Design Shop's newest additions. These arrivals are filled with bright and refreshing colors, perfect to shake off that autumn blues.

Shine bright like a diamond

The Teklan Frame rug dazzles with its vibrant colors, reminiscent of sparkling gems. Swedish design brand LAYERED has teamed up with artist Tekla Evelina Severin to create the bold and joyfully radiant Prism Palette collection with rugs that showcase Severin’s distinctive flair for strong, dynamic hues.

Made from wool, the Teklan Frame rug features a striking geometric pattern of squares and stripes. The vivid design brings a refreshing burst of energy to the living room or bedroom as well.

Glowing glass

The Rise vase by Fundamental Berlin is a large, hand-blown glass piece with a unique gradient effect that transitions from a rich hue at the top to a delicate, transparent base. The vase is made from two thick layers of glass: color pigments are used only in the inner layer, allowing the crystal-clear outer surface to reflect surrounding light and give the vase a radiant appearance. The cylindrical vase is particularly well-suited for decorative branches, green foliage and longer flowers such as lilies, chrysanthemums, and amaranths.

Why be serious?

The Toto table lamp by Hem charms with its cartoonishly exaggerated appearance. The playful Toto resembles a child’s sketch of a lamp: a chunky, oversized base holding up a light, cone-shaped textile shade. The lamp reflects designer Fabien Cappello's lively and energetic style, both in its form and in its color combinations that make it easy to find the perfect match for any room and decor.

Organize in style

HAY's Colour Rack clothes rack showcases the vibrant color palette and unexpected shapes characteristic of the design studio Muller Van Severen. The cleverly C-shaped clothing rack is made from glossy, powder-coated steel, and its airy design adds a lively touch to any entryway, bedroom, or public space.

If you want to bring more of Muller Van Severen’s flair into your home, pair the Colour Rack with the colorful Colour hanger, also designed by the Belgian duo for HAY.

Movie magic

Published by MACK Books, Sofia Coppola: Archive 1999-2023 offers a fascinating in-depth look into the career of director Sofia Coppola. This rich, nearly 500-page book compiles a treasure trove of photographs, collages, sketches, memories, and annotated scripts drawn from Coppola's personal archives. It spans her entire career, from breakthrough movies like The Virgin Suicides (1999), Lost in Translation (2003), and Marie Antoinette (2006), to her more recent hits like The Beguiled (2017) and Priscilla (2023).
