December 2025 News

As we edge toward the end of the year, the studio has been glowing—quite literally. Winter always invites deeper, moodier colours, and they’ve been dancing beautifully under the studio lights as we mix. It’s been a joy to spend this month working with such rich tones; because secretly the darker, stronger colours are my personal favourites, and this has been one of the most exciting mixing periods we’ve had.

Colour of the Month

Dune 45 II from our Namibian Sands Collection has always been one of our best selling colours, all year round. In the summer and on brighter days it heats a space with it’s dusty clay-like qualities. In the darker eras, where we predominantly rely on lamplight, it brims with ochres, browns and pinks – umbers, reds and oxides which hum and buzz into a cosy atmosphere which envelop you. This colour looks phenomenal when colour drenched over ceilings and walls, and can easily find its wooden pairings to fully immerse you.
