Join the blue brigade with this year’s best cobalt designs
Hop on interior design’s colour obsession – a cobalt blue that has made its way from the catwalk to the home
Styled with light pinks for a touch of warmth or off-white for a nautical vibe, the colour (Yves Klein blue’s cheekier younger sister) evokes energy, creativity and power. Looking for a splash of the hue? Pols Potten has just released its wildly popular bar table in the shade, while Nason Moretti has unveiled a peppy cobalt vase.
‘Miniantares 0040’ vase, NasonMoretti
For all your short stem flower needs (fans of peace lilies, we’re looking at you) this 10-centimetre tall vase is the perfect solution. Crafted by leading glass company NasonMoretti using a traditional layering technique, it comes in a royal blue that will instantly pop on a plain table. Approx £90, nasonmoretti.com
‘Sierra Bay’ cushion in ‘Peacock Blue’, Dar Leone
While you may know Dar Leone for its boisterous patterns, the London-based homeware brand can also do understated chic. This cushion is a case in point: it features broad strokes of vibrant blue across a calm, muted white background. £95, libertylondon.com
‘Soft Armchair’, Exteta
The rocks dotted along the Italian coast were the inspiration behind Ludovica + Roberto Palomba's blocky offering for Exteta. You might be fooled into thinking that the chair is designed for interiors given its plush, plump seat but surprisingly, it's made for outdoor use. £3,890, artemest.com
‘Dipping’ light, Marset
Marset first brought this bulbous hanging pendant by Jordi Canudas to market in 2019. Four years later, it has reissued the light in a larger size ideal for hanging above dining tables or hallways with high ceilings. When this bigger bulb is switched on, it demands attention making it the ideal accent piece. Approx £750, marset.com
‘Pocket Metal’ shelving, String
Nils Strinning’s iconic String ‘Pocket’ metal shelving unit is now available in fresh colours that include this bold and bright blue. Whether you use it to store cosmetics in your bathroom or books in your living room, the powder-coated steel shelves are the ultimate storage companion. £169, stringfurniture.com
‘Twister’ bar table, Pols Potten
Known for its playful designs, Dutch design house Pols Potten has released a bar style version of its successful ‘Twister’ table. Now available with a longer helter-skelter style table leg topped with a flat surface perfect for storing your tipples on.
‘Neotenic’ table lamp, Petite Friture
Jumbo’s first lighting collaboration with cult favourite French brand Petite Friture is something of a treat. The ‘Neotenic table lamp’ makes use of generous rounded shapes designed to ‘create a physical bond between the object and its holder’. It’s available in four statement hues but blue is certainly the most playful. Approx £595, petitefriture.com
‘Extra Bold’ armchair, Moustache
Joining a chair, stool and bench from the same ‘Bold’ collection, this armchair is as experimental as it is comfortable. A bent steel frame covered in expanded foam makes it look like inflated tubes while the dashing blue shade gives it a regal edge. Approx £1,535, moustache.fr
