There's a case for finish that doesn't look finished. The visible weave, the grain left raised rather than sanded flat - these read less like an unfinished edge and more like proof of material honesty, a thread running through a lot of 2027 design forecasting.
Pieces with natural variation, texture and character are having a real moment, and Reconnect to Nature is our take on it.
Tips for styling:
1. Layer something woven against a smooth surface - rattan next to glass, or a woven chair against a lacquered table - so the texture stands out
2. Group pieces in odd numbers and at uneven heights rather than matching sets; it's what stops a natural palette from looking flat
3. Keep grain-heavy pieces next to fabric rather than glass or metal, so the warmth carries through the whole arrangement instead of stopping at one piece
