AVANT GARDE is a sleek, high-impact microtrend that re-imagines 1960s gloss through a tactile, contemporary lens. At its heart is a love of fluid curves, sculptural forms, and surfaces that gleam – from glossy occasional tables to bubble-like lighting and transparent partitions that soften space without interrupting it.
There’s a nostalgic nod in the use of fabrics like corduroy, bouclé, and chenille, now re-engineered for modern living with FibreGuard’s easy-clean technology. These materials add a rich tactility to otherwise pared-back spaces, aligning with the trend’s warmed-up minimalist aesthetic. AVANT GARDE is about restraint with attitude – a refined but expressive way to live with form, shine, and materiality.
