Culture

pompidaou, andy warhol, mini cooper, movie, artifice, jewellery, media, explosion, neon lights, baroque colour, the stuff that surrounds you, gilded and grounded, flea market, eccentric, wallpaper, well-travelled, pattern, collector, diverse, open, original, autonomous, surprising, global, fantasy, emotion, exotic, mao tse tung


Culture encapsulates yoo’s passion for appropriating the most beautiful and exquisitely produced objects and ideas from the past, and placing them alongside the most amazing designs of today. The result is an intriguing mix with a captivating tension. Rooted in richness and boldness, the Culture palette has a powerful sense of history, but is always looking forward. 



Nature

raw leather, stone, wood, linen, cotton, beech, beach, alvar aalto, alps, fjords, fur trees, leaf, bark, weathered paint, rainwater, lake, sailboat, rope, made by hand, wind swept, sea shells, pebbles, simple life, driftwood, green, brown, free, wild, grass, sky, flowers, hippy


The nature palette is for those who love to live with fresh air, blue sky, the smell of rising sun, purity and simplicity. This style draws its inspiration from the widespread and deeply-rooted desire of city dwellers to bring nature into the urban environment. The colours and materials are drawn from a gentle spectrum of natural hues: pale, sun and sea bleached wood, and sand and pebble-grey mixed with soft green. 



Minimal

white, empty space, simple, pure, concrete, function, water, air, glass, smooth, clean, hard, shell, form

The spirit of Minimal is clean and calm – a modern edge, incorporating glass, metal, concrete and neutral colours allowing for the mind to find space, to meditate and consider.

Minimal is ideal for those who want to add their own layers and ideas. It can work as a simple start in deciding how you want to live - an almost blank canvas where you can gradually add objects to reflect your tastes and personality.
