Unveiled in April in Milan during Salone del Mobile, ‘Horses in my dreams’ collection will be presented in the Middle East for the first time. Inspired by the majesty and mystery of horses, and the elegant equestrian accessories that accompany them, the 17 pieces collection ranges across fluid yet anatomically formed furnishings and elevated fabrics with a deceiving simplicity. Evocations of the spirited connection between rider and horse, the pieces avoid direct representations of the animal, instead finding abstract gestures in the rhythms and sensuous movement of equestrianism.
The ‘Horses in my dreams’ collection of screens, tables, armchairs and sofas arrives in varied combinations of smoked and brushed elm and oak, as well as upholstered taupe leather. Fabrics reference the organic, muted shades of rural retreats and European country sports, with soft bouclé and woven finishes providing a welcoming warmth. Eminently earthy and anchored, the juxtaposition of texture and material finds its balance in the interplay between the different elements as they are presented together in the space.
The pieces created by Christophe Delcourt are accompanied by the UGO pendant light in oak, designed by Théophile de Bascher, which is suspended from the ceiling by a strap, offering a soft infusion of classic leather saddlery. Additional textiles on display from Delcourt Textiles 2024 collection are designed to interweave effortlessly with the designer’s existing fabric library. Nature- inspired motifs and semi-abstract jacquards tell a color story ranging across a restrained palette of forest green, navy blue, taupe and gray, with pops of brighter chartreuse and red tones.
