At Coach House the collections for 2021 and 2022 have and continue to reflect the escapism and peace we ’ ve all been craving . The rustic luxe aesthetic that we ’ ve been seeing conjures up a sense of calm and tranquility , yet with a hint of glamour . It evokes long , lazy days in Mykonos and Ibiza sunsets as we all seek refuge in interiors from what has and continues to be an unsettling and unnerving time in life .

ESCAPISM AND PEACE

We are finding that customers are moving towards wood , brass and bouclé and away from stark lines in favour of soft curves and forms . It is also texture above all else that is driving this particular look , as the subject is welcomed into the space with a play on touch and light , then comes the escapism that is craved . Objects and vases act as sculptural pieces of the collections , whilst shell ornaments and dried floral all bring about the feeling of otherworldliness , of a relaxed eclecticism found when we travel to unfamiliar lands and escape from our traditional homes .
