A 1970s design revival brings on the nostalgic feels
Recent design design trends are gearing toward the 1970s, a period known for its warm color schemes, geometric shapes and patterns and natural elements (think velvet and rattan). This resurgence lends to a laid-back and comfortable environment, and we can’t get enough.
The Kinnan Bed features a low-slung silhouette, soft curves bordering the frame and three simple channels on the headboard for a minimalist design statement.
