Black and White Design Trends

How many times have you said (or thought) It’s all here in black and white? The interaction between these two non-colors is crisp, dramatic, and memorable. And crystal clear.

Sahco

During the Déco Off show in Paris in January, Sahco showed Wild Bouquet, a bold juxtaposition of an animal print against an over-scale, exotic floral, to great success. The collection builds on the company’s history while firing it through a 21st-century mindset.

Refin Ceramiche

The Takashi collection pairs bold graphics with the elegant irregularity of nature. Here, a relatively straightforward design realized on a nuanced, wood-textured tile. The subtle grains provide a second, understated linear form. Shown here is the Pepper Leaf pattern.
