THE POWER OF CULTURAL INFLUENCES IN DESIGN

Interior design is a reflection of human history and traditions. Global trends bring colors, textures, and shapes to the home that tell stories – from minimalism to maximalism. In 2025, these cultural influences are more vibrant than ever, shaping and personalizing projects that combine aesthetics and meaning. In this article, we explore how styles can transform environments and suggest perfect materials for this.

MINIMALISM: SIMPLICITY AND SERENITY

This style values clean lines and organic shapes for furniture, neutral tones, and natural materials like wood and bamboo. It is ideal for those seeking calm and functionality. In contemporary projects, use low furniture and light partitions.

Joinery Tip: The London or Tokyo Frizzo MDF, with a Satin Matte finish, and the Bamboo Reserve with a texture close to natural veneer, reflects this minimalist essence without being aseptic.

MAXIMALISM: WARMTH, VITALITY, AND MEMORY

Maximalism features deep blues, greens, and grays, orange or pink terracottas, off-whites, and luminous golds, as well as rustic woods. Perfect for homes that celebrate natural light and outdoor living, it can be adapted with handmade tiles or furniture with classic and Provençal shapes.
Joinery Tip: The Cascais or Verona MDF captures European charm, while the Luanda evokes a more handmade style.
