It’s the season for relaxation, and this look invites you to take a seat in the Kelly Hoppen Coco Accent Chair from Frobisher in a calm, tonal space. Shades of beige from the sandy Resene Parchment on the wall through to Resene White Pointer in the flowing painted lines come together in soothing layers and natural textures of wool, wood, ceramic and dried cotton stems. 

Iconic design 

Designed by iconic British interior designer Kelly Hoppen, the stylish Coco Accent Chair combines subtle curves with a blend of natural wood. The upholstery casts a striking silhouette for the perfect addition to a bedroom or living space.

Good form

Patterned textiles can work in a minimalist space when the colour is pared back. This luxurious woollen rug echoes the curves in the wall and the chair, while bringing a textural warmth to this calm setting. 

Classical inspiration 

Echoing the classical style of the column side table, this Grecian-inspired ceramic vase adds interest to the vignette with its sculptural form, texture and soft cream colour.

Side column 

This gently fluted side table is handcrafted from sturdy earthenware, a compact piece that’s a good companion for the petite Coco Accent Chair and connects with the abstract lines in Resene White Pointer.
