Robin Bruce: Organic Furniture

The Jackson accent chair is shown here in certified organic cotton upholstery. The emerging trend for early ‘09 of Tinted Neutral is best described as a search for a pure, soft aesthetic. Ninety natural fibre fabrics, including eight new certified organic cottons, are the foundation of this trend. The colours range from pure white to creamy vanilla to barely blue and natural ecru. A washed, soft hand to the fabrics adds a pleasing touch to compliment the lightness in colour. Floral patterns are more in silhouette and contemporary.
