Nastia Mirzoyan

Interior & spatial · Kyiv, Ukraine

Crowned Emerging Interior Designer of the Year at the Dezeen Awards 2025 for playful, context-aware interiors made through difficult times.

From a studio in Kyiv, Nastia Mirzoyan makes interiors that refuse to be solemn. Her projects, from a renovated Stalinist-era flat to the plywood-panelled Bursa Bar, pair an acute reading of context with a mischievous streak. Working through hard times, she has turned playfulness into a form of quiet defiance.

Four fabric houses launch in one week and every one of them has gone to the archive

Caroline Biggs' weekly product preview carries the autumn round of trade launches, and read together they say the same thing: Jim Thompson's autumn 2026 collection draws on eighteenth century Asian motifs with Pak Kad taken from cabbageware ceramics, Crystal Drop from glass mosaic and Flowing Waves from Hiroshige; House of Hackney has gone to Axminster Carpets for more than 55 rugs including Compton Magna, a polychromatic Arts and Crafts pattern originally designed by William Morris; Kirkby's Ornate spans eight upholstery patterns and six floorcoverings pulled from St Olaf House, Eltham Palace and the Hoover Building; and Weitzner's The Art of the Game turns playing card and board game motifs into ten textiles and six wallcoverings. The practical read is that the plain-textured years are over at the top of the market and pattern is being sold with a provenance attached, which changes the conversation with a nervous client, because a wallcovering is easier to sign off when it has a building or a date behind it than when it is simply a bold choice, and the lead time is the thing to check now rather than in January.

TallBoy weaves its own cloth at last, four patterns and 33 colourways built to sit next to an antique

After a decade of reupholstering antiques and failing to find the cloth they actually wanted, the Yorkshire studio has launched LANA, its first upholstery collection, developed in house and woven by a specialist textile atelier in Italy from wool, linen and cotton: Boccolo, a richly tactile boucle in nine colours, Spigato, a herringbone enlarged for a more contemporary presence in eight, Ondulata, an undulating vertical stripe in eight, and Zisa, a deliberately irregular abstract zigzag in eight, 33 colourways in total, coloured from fog, forest, grain, slate, stone and shadow rather than from a season.

Colefax and Fowler's Pendine, an autumn collection built to be layered one piece at a time

Pendine is Colefax and Fowler's Autumn 2026 release, now live on the brand's own site after a fortnight of teasers, and it is really five collections under one name: Pendine itself, the decorative prints and embroideries (the embroidered botanical Pendine in Red/Forest and three other colourways, the woodland Birchwood, the arabesque Genevieve, plus Landor, Kemerton, Levina, Calcott, Seymour, Pembury and Appleby), then Walcott and Tremaine decorative weaves that reach back to flamestitch, tapestry and Southeast Asian ikat, Glen Wools checks and stripes woven in Scotland to extend the house tartans, and Eden, two heavyweight textured linens in quiet neutrals.

Casamance reinterprets Flemish tapestry as matte velvet and jacquard in Les Tisserands

Part of the Paris-themed September 2026 release from the French editor, Les Tisserands pays homage to the Flemish weaving houses by pairing the silkiness of cotton velvet with the raw hand of textured jacquards, a deliberately matte collection made for seating and coloured in soft shades, with Tradition, Haute Lice, Lissandre and Savoir Faire each in five or six colourways and the namesake Les Tisserands in four, sitting alongside the wool-led Scotia, the satin Beaumarchais and the wide-width voiles of Effleure in the same drop.

Dulux names Soulful Sage its Colour of the Year 2027

Dulux has picked a soft grey-green it calls Soulful Sage, chosen out of parent company AkzoNobel's annual ColourFutures research, which the brand says identified a move towards lighter, more considered environments in response to information overload and wider global uncertainty; the pitch to specifiers is deliberately modest, not a statement shade but a versatile green that provides a flexible foundation for schemes requiring different levels of warmth, neutrality or visual energy depending on the brief, and it follows last year's trio, Rhythm of Blues. The useful thing here is not the shade, it is the consensus, because this is the third 2027 colour of the year the feed has carried this month, after Graham & Brown's clay-toned pink Rose Earth and Valspar's greyed blue Cottage Door, and not one of them raises its voice; expect clients to arrive next year asking for calm and muted without having the words for it. Of the three, a grey-green base is the one you can actually build a whole scheme on, because it will take a warm clay or a deep moss without either of them fighting it, which is presumably why Dulux is selling it to specifiers as a foundation rather than a feature wall.

Graham & Brown names Rose Earth, a clay-toned pink, its 2027 Colour of the Year

Revealed on 2 September in the Lancashire firm's eightieth year, Rose Earth is a warm, muted pink with clay and brown undertones drawn from Italian mineral pigments, chosen to sit under Roselle Grove, a gouache-painted chintz named Design of the Year that traces the pattern's journey from Indian block printing through the Silk Road to Lancashire's mills, with Red Rose County, a hand-drawn mural of Rivington Pike and Jubilee Tower, as Mural of the Year, and Kelp and Sue's Jumper offered as the cooling partners.

Faye Toogood crumples paper into Johnny, a family of lanterns on a wrought iron skeleton

Tianna Williams reports that Faye Toogood is launching Johnny at her Union Street space for London Design Festival, a series of stitched and crumpled paper lanterns built over a wrought iron skeleton, in a human-height floor totem plus a pendant and a table light in two sizes; the name came out of the studio itself, where Toogood says paper experiments draped over tables and chairs became standing totems that the team started calling Johnny as a joke, because at full height they really did remind everyone of gigantic condoms. Past the joke there is a useful lesson in how the thing was found, which is that the collection came from offcuts and draping rather than from a drawing, and the finished lights only resolve when they are lit, the stitching and the fold shadows being the whole decorative event; if a client wants presence at floor-lamp scale without another metal-and-linen column, this is the argument for paper, and it is worth seeing lit in person at 48a Union Street rather than judged from a photograph.

Bocci's 14p goes purple in neodymium glass, and the colour will not sit still

Bocci is debuting a purple version of the 14p, its portable candle-like light, inside Labyrinth Dreams, an installation built with British designer Bethan Laura Wood at 15 Bateman Street for London Design Festival from 12 to 20 September; the colour began with Wood's first sight of the light, which put David Bowie in Labyrinth straight into her head and earned it the nickname the Bowie Ball, and she has arranged a sculptural landscape of softly finished forms around it, photographed by Mark Cocksedge.

Garnier & Linker recasts its sculptural lamps in aluminium for Aurora, its first outdoor lighting

For Paris Design Week (10 to 19 September) the Fontainebleau studio of Guillaume Garnier and Florent Linker has taken its existing indoor pieces, Nezu, Kora, Teree, Thea and others, and re-made them in cast aluminium instead of bronze and plaster, adding electrical testing and a proprietary compact power source so the sculptural forms can live on a terrace, with Thala, Aura, Cronos and Retina rounding out a first chapter the founders say is only the start of a larger outdoor line.

Beton Brut puts Marcel Breuer's 1936 Isokon pieces into figured masur birch

Cajsa Carlson reports that the east London gallery Beton Brut and manufacturer Isokon have reissued four of Marcel Breuer's 1936 designs, the Cut-Out Armchair, Cut-Out Chair, Isokon Nesting Tables and Isokon Dining Table, in masur birch for the ninetieth anniversary of the originals, a made-to-order limited edition from 1,300 pounds with a ten to twelve week lead time, on show at the gallery on Felstead Street from 12 to 20 September. Founder Sophie Pearce's argument is the interesting part, that Breuer's Isokon work was never meant to stay unadorned, since historical examples came in sycamore, zebrano, mahogany and Australian walnut, and masur birch, figured by fungal or bacterial activity into swirls and knots, brings what she calls a psychedelic quality to precise modernist forms. For a scheme, it is permission to let a recognised modern shape carry a loud grain instead of a colour, which is how you get pattern into a restrained room without introducing a single print, and a reminder that the decision to specify a classic in plain veneer is a choice rather than a rule.

The film director and the production designer who has run his interiors studio since 2017 have made their first commercial collection together, an "atlas of desire" of roughly 200 pieces spanning furniture, lighting, tableware, scent and a full ready-to-wear wardrobe, landing 26 September with an accompanying 20-minute short film and a two-day pop-up at La Pelota during Milan Fashion Week.

Kelly Wearstler's H&M Home furniture lands in stores, and Wallpaper* says it is already selling out

The H&M Home collection Kelly Wearstler unveiled in Milan in April has finally gone on sale this week, in select stores rather than online, alongside an eight-piece ready-to-wear line, and it is the furniture a working designer should be looking at: Poma, a chair that becomes a loveseat when two are pushed together, Soluna, a lounge chair that grows into a sofa by adding modules, an armchair and a sofa table, plus three lamps, candlesticks, vases and a clothing rack, every piece designed new for the Swedish retailer rather than lifted from her collectible work.

Brands are now duping themselves, and it changes how you talk about price with a client

Caroline Bourque and Aidan Taylor report that Danish brand OMHU has released fifty deliberate copies of its own viral Teddy sofa, renamed Tedy, in the bright orange of the marketplaces, sold only through Etsy, Temu and Dupe.com at 799.99 dollars against the original's 1,995, with identical materials and manufacture and the colour as the only real difference; creative director Christine Smith's framing is that being copied is iconic, and the piece sets it beside Tom Dixon's 2024 Unbeaten line, which he concedes worked better narratively than commercially, and beside Circana's finding that 58 per cent of shoppers have bought a dupe.

Emeco sues Zara Home in Hamburg over chairs it says copy Norman Foster's 20-06

The American brand has filed in the Hamburg District Court alleging that Zara Home's Stainless Steel Structure Chair and Stainless Steel Bar Stool "unlawfully copied the appearance and protected design language" of the 20-06 chair and stool Norman Foster drew in 2006 as a modern reading of Emeco's 1944 Navy Chair, and it is seeking damages and a halt to sales after cease-and-desist letters were declined; Zara Home told Dezeen it would not comment.
