Explore Evolving Traditions
Evolving Traditions encompasses a heritage inspired style that’s perfectly suited to contemporary lifestyles. Designed with irresistible reading nooks and stylish home offices in mind, this collection was created to update the country house aesthetic for today’s lifestyles by adding an offbeat and whimsical element. Spanning angular abstracts, graphic patterns and expressive landscapes, this collection features pieces that are beautiful alone, or can be combined to create cohesive ensembles. With green the dominating shade in many of the pieces in the collection, it is the contrast with light blue that gives it a more contemporary and playful twist.
Celebrating personality, history and comfort
Evolving Traditions’ use of green creates spaces that will inspire focus and mindfulness, as green is known to be both calming and balancing. Whether you are creating a chic space to work from home or a cosy reading corner for the bookworm in the family, this elegant and quirky collection features art to make it work.
Annica Wallin, Executive Creative Director at Desenio offers tips for bringing the heritage aesthetic to your home:
“This trend invites personality into tradition. It’s about blending what’s inherited with what’s new: vintage wood furniture with bold contemporary art, muted greens with crisp light blues. The result is layered, personal, and full of narrative.”
See how Abstract Face came to life
Each collection Desenio launches is carefully curated by a team of artists, designers and photographers in the Stockholm Atelier.
One design created in the atelier, Abstract Face, was constructed from pieces of wood that were painted and then carefully laid out. With the rich greens and wood tones coming through beautifully in the print, the sculptural forms give the print depth and dimension.
