After an inspiring week in Paris at Maison & Objet, another whimsical yet retro trend that stood out to me was dynamic dimension. Think 3-D vessels that range from fluid organic shapes to playful, conversation-starting designs. Decorative elements featuring lemons, mushrooms, faces, fish and fruit highlight the beauty of flora and fauna. This kitchen kitsch trend is a throwback to an 80’s vibe of fun color, creative shapes and dynamic dimension. — Nancy Fire, Nancy Fire Designs
This butter dish from the Italian studio Les Ottomans is a playful yet sophisticated approach to 3-D dimension for the table. While the colors present a more traditional aesthetic, the motifs create a dimensional and playful style.
Les Ottomans also highlighted the importance of the lemon motif, which was visible throughout Maison & Objet. The difference here is how dimensional this entire tabletop collection is with its array of lemon-inspired products.
Aveva Design, a Swedish home decor brand with a focus on natural materials and vibrant colors, blends functionality with playfulness, making their products more enjoyable for the home. These wool vases are the perfect little home for fresh flowers. A balanced mix of wool, sand and glass makes the vase stable and waterproof. The die-cut shape adds a different type of 3-D dimension.
This decorative vase from Right and Living in the Netherlands features dimensional fish motifs in a coral and cream color scheme.
