When simplicity speaks louder | | As the term suggests, ‘timeless’ designs are those that withstand the test of time, unaffected by fleeting trends and the ever-changing whims of the creative world. Forget the clamour of bright colours and over-the-top patterns; when it comes to versatile, enduring pieces – those able to complement any space at any time – it’s all about simplicity, the natural and the elemental. Take, for instance, surfaces with exposed wood veins or untreated stone; they don’t scream for attention, yet their rawness and eternal elegance effortlessly command it.
