Trend Rooms 2025
Forbidden Fruit
Trends: Complex textures, deep shades, tactile materials

The space where the meeting with oneself begins.


The Forbidden Fruit room is not just an interior, but an invitation. To remember the taste of real feelings. Allow yourself the luxury of simple pleasures. Remove the surface and touch the authentic.


This is an attempt to bring the viewer back to himself. Stop. Exhale. To hear what the heart really wants.


This space is a memory of what makes us alive: music, feelings, touches, heart-to-heart conversations, the joy of communicating with loved ones, conscious silence.


Here, every element — from organic lines and complex shades to unusual textile solutions — works as a gentle reminder: true value is always inside, not outside.


In this box-like room, hidden from the outside noise, we invite the viewer to meet with the real me. Without masks. Without roles. In the layering of materials, in the depth of color, in the honesty of forms, there is a reflection of the search for truth, personal, intimate, so different for everyone. This is the real jewel.


This stand is not about design as a form. It's about choice. Should I succumb to the temptation to live for real, or should I lock up my desires for "should" and "later" again? To live every moment or to observe life from the outside?
