Thought-provoking and bold designs

IF YOU want to make a statement in your home, look no further than the new Creazioni range, available from Edinburgh-based interior designers and specifiers Trendenza.

The Creazioni look is attention-grabbing, but fun at the same time. Its overall aim, though, is a touch of simple good taste and its designs marry the bold use of a kaleidoscope of colours with hand-painted finishes on a diverse range of robust furnishings.

Primarily created for home furnishings, the designs could easily be transposed and used to furnish boutique hotels and architectural projects - such is their diversity.

The signature use of hand-painted designs on bespoke beds, as well as a slightly oversized look to seating, makes for very comfortable furnishings that can work with rooms’ existing interior design or contrast dramatically to create a style statement.

What Creazioni does best, though, is to take the styles of the past and relaunch them in a new light that brings facets of their various precious qualities but, at the same time, undermines their authority from within by camouflaging them, as it were, with lively colours, unusual materials and unprecedented finishes. This is the stylistic signature of Creazioni, which is never short of a surprise or coup de theatre.

Product ranges include seating, sideboards, bookcases, wardrobes, tables, mirrors, beds, lamps and accessories

The full collection is available through Trendenza and a selection of the items can be viewed at www.trendenza.co.uk. Prices start from £144, ranging to £4,000 and upwards for bespoke pieces.
