2014 Product Trend: Purple Hues

Meltdown Lamp by Johan Lindsten for Cappellini.

Color experts across the globe are predicting that 2014 will be a year dominated by varying hues of blue, purple and pink. While the

Pantone Color Institute

has named a vibrant pinky-purple called ‘Radiant Orchid’ as its color of the year, paint brand

Sherwin-Williams

has selected a dusky, filtered violet named ‘Exclusive Plum’. Perfectly demonstrating the subtle sophistication of ‘Exclusive Plum’, the new multi-toned Mews tiles by

Barber Osgerby

for Italian tile brand

Mutina

are inspired by the changing light within London’s winding streets. A subtle tint of the dazzling ‘Radiant Orchid’ hue is used on

Johan Lindsten’s

blown glass Meltdown lamps for

Cappellini

, while the Q5 bench collection by

Davis Furniture

demonstrates how the statement-making hue can be used to striking effect on large upholstery pieces.
