New Swedish interior design trend: Lagom – the golden mean
Goodbye Hygge, Hello Lagom.
Lagom is the Swedish expression for “in moderation”, “just right” or “not too much and not too little”. The secret of Sweden's high rankings on international happiness and productivity is all about consistently living somewhere in the middle in all parts of life. Lagom brings the focus back to earth material such as wood and neutral, calm colours.

With a variety of woods, finishes and shapes, this custom design piece is perfect for any ambiance or environment.
Rosenthal Blend/Design: Christophe de la Fontaine
Distinct and uncomplicated with a fine and reduced structure – the new Blend series by designer Christophe de la Fontaine focuses on the bare essentials: sensual material, subtle structures and only six different items. Together, they form a series of light and airy showpieces that make our wish for haptically unique, virtually ethereal works for every day come true, freeing of us of unnecessary burdens thanks to their multifunctional concept.
Rosenthal Interieur Carpets Faceted/Design: Dorothea Lang und Matthias Zinkl
The interplay of light and shadow turns mono-colour surfaces into multifaceted, complex structures. The Faceted collection picks up on this idea and uses contrasting monochrome, geometrical sections to create three-dimensional-looking carpets with one-of-a-kind effects.
Rosenthal Nightingale/Design: Dante - Goods and Bads
The Nightingale table lamp, designed by Dante – Goods and Bads in collaboration with Rosenthal, quite literally turns the structure and design of a lamp completely on its head: The otherwise normal lampshade of the design piece is rotated 90 degrees, thereby completely redefining the interaction between the light fitting and reflector. The delicate porcelain body is initially reminiscent of an antique lantern, but its thoroughly modern aesthetics shine through thanks to the clear-cut design and soft beam of LED light. A leather band, available in Bordeaux, dark brown or natural, serves as a handle that can be used to change the position of the light and elegantly conceals the wires.
