Last week I had the pleasure of doing some in store styling at Citta Design in Grey Lynn. Working with pieces from the Winter 2016 Collection 'Beautiful Utility - A Journey to 1970s Berlin' I created a living area along with some shelf styling at the front of the expansive store. The collection, which takes inspiration from a divided city; the prosperous, modern West Berlin, and the gritty, grey Soviet-led East Berlin, is a story of beautiful contrasts and colours from the 70s. Masculine structural shapes and forms are offset by a subtle feminine colour palette and understated patterning, all of which I embraced wholeheartedly. Wanting to create a cosy yet calming space, the restrained, muted naturals and subtle tonal variations combined effortlessly. The rays of sunshine were an added bonus, especially after a week of rain!

I started with some favourite key pieces of the season including the Hem Sofa and Hem Armchair in Oyster, designed by David Moreland. I paired these with the luxurious Bauen Bamboo Silk & Cotton Rug and the Radial Round Coffee Table in Natural Oak.
Cushions and throws are a must for creating warmth and adding texture and Citta Design have so many gorgeous options. I was in my element selecting from their extensive winter range. A few of my favourites include the Hicks Woven Cushion, the Albers Cushion and the Purl Stitch Wool Throw. For the shelves, I carried through a lifestyle theme in the same palette, with muted Ceramics, fragrant Candles, and textural Storage items and a touch of Brass.
