The collection features vibrant colours and check motifs across tableware, vases, cushions and rugs.
Today (28 April), H&M Home has launched its latest collaboration with Iranian-French designer and architect India Mahdavi. Known for her use of colour, Mahdavi’s most famous work is probably the interior design at the restaurant Sketch in London – yes, the pink room.
As you might expect, her H&M Home collection is full of vibrant shades. Inspired by the colours you see when you close your eyes in front of the sun, the homeware range plays with bright oranges and greens which blur into soft pinks, lilacs and baby blues. It also taps into the checked homeware trend, with the pattern used across placemats and cushions in orange and yellow.
As well as those endlessly Instagrammed pink interiors at The Gallery at Sketch, a bubblegum shade that took Mahdavi a month to settle on, according to The New Yorker, she also designed its sunny yellow new look. Both colours can be seen on ceramics in her H&M collection, so you can take a bit of Sketch design magic home with you.
The range consists mainly of plates, mugs, bowls, jugs and vases with colour gradient effects and an out-of-focus check motif. However, the collection also caters for those who aren’t into rainbow hues – the inky blue and cream checked rug and flower-motif ceramics are a little more low-key.
Evelina Kravaev-Söderberg, head of design and creative at H&M Home, described the collection as poetic and joyful, with a focus on quality. “India Mahdavi is the well-thought-of designer in bringing joy, optimism and colour to the world of interiors. We wanted to create a poetic and contemplative collection, focusing on crafted quality and joyful colours, and we can’t wait to introduce our customers to India’s impeccable sense of colour and design aesthetics,” she said.
If you like the look of Mahdavi’s range, we’ve selected nine products that are at the top of our wishlist.
