Desirable Designs – Primary choices
A century ago, the Dutch art movement De Stijl took the world by storm with its primary colours, straight lines and blank spaces. In 2019, the minimalist approach of Mondriaan is once again present in many interiors. Spruce up your home with a touch of yellow, cyan and magenta this spring.
1. Inked pots
Adding greenery to your interior doesn’t mean that emerald has to become the dominant shade in your home. With these chipper pots in plenty of sizes, the primary colours balance out the green invasion and brighten up your indoor garden.

4. The original
The Red and Blue Chair from Gerrit Rietveld is one of De Stijl’s foremost symbols. The idea was to create a design chair, simple enough so people could construct it themselves. After a century, the chair is still a desired item in many interiors; and you no longer have to build it yourself.
€2,545
5. Art against the wall
Who doesn’t want a famous painter’s work gracing their walls? With this wallpaper, inspired by the work of De Stijl icon Bart van der Leck, it is possible! The mesmerising print is entirely non-repetitive, allowing your imagination to run wild for a long time to come.
