Modern Classics: where classic elegance meets modern simplicity

Where history meets the present

Some interior styles never go out of date – they evolve.
Modern Classics is exactly that: an elegant balance between the traditional and the contemporary.
Here, Art Deco glamour and classical symmetry meet modern architecture and contemporary materials.

The style feels luxurious but never overbearing. It is structured, harmonious and self-assured, inviting a home that feels both current and timeless.

Rooted in a classical design language

Modern Classics has its origins in the Art Deco of the 1920s – a time when craftsmanship, geometry and exclusive materials took centre stage.
Today the style has taken on a softer tone: fewer contrasts, more light and a sense of Scandinavian lightness.

The result is a sophisticated simplicity where the details do everything – from the perfect curtain pleat to the discreet sheen of a wallpaper.

Hallmarks of Modern Classics

  • Soft geometry: straight lines meet rounded forms.

  • Muted luxury shades: beige, taupe, grey, brass and deep jewel tones.

  • Meeting materials: velvet, marble, glass and metal.

  • Balance between old and new: traditional forms in modern settings.

Calm with character

Modern Classics is the style for those who appreciate details that do not shout but are noticed.
It speaks to those looking for something more than minimalism – a home that feels considered, elegant and personal.
