Living Collage
Curated by Studie Flyhelsted
Revisit the Formland Spring trade show. Next up is Formland Autumn from 17 - 19 August.
Welcome to an experience that celebrates creativity and vibrancy
In a time when we yearn for what truly resonates, the Living Collage trend installation invites you into a world, where the home becomes a creative canvas, and every object tells your unique story.
Here, the opulence and abundant charm of the Victorian era intertwine with the raw minimalism of neo-brutalism. This bold fusion of curated vintage pieces and contemporary design, creates a harmonious balance between the grandeur of maximalism and the clean lines of functionalism.
Thoughts behind the concept
Living Collage is not about filling a room with objects – it is about infusing a space with life. The décor is playful yet purposeful, where nothing is left to chance, allowing space for individuality, personality and authenticity.
The colours are intense and dramatic, full of contrasts, in a setting that combines organic and soft interiors with the iconic, angular aesthetic design of the 80’s. Prints embellish wallpapers, textiles, and furniture, while walls are adorned with art and decorations. Shelves display personal collections, vases overflow with lush bouquets, and the materials range from soft velvet to cool aluminium. Together, each element weaves a unique story.
Living Collage challenges perfection, which often overlooks the essence of life. Instead, this trend embraces the aesthetic of joy – allowing the personal, crooked, assembled and opulent to flourish. It is a celebration of the imperfect and unique, turning every room into a personal reflection.
Welcome to the Aesthetics of Joy.
Welcome to Living Collage.
