Each year we scour the design world, finding the best furniture pieces from six chosen territories for our ’Global Interiors’ edit. For 2016, we travel from West to East, from the USA and Mexico, through to Denmark and the Czech Republic via the UK, and all the way to Singapore, digging out the finest pieces representing each country’s design savoir faire. From definitive wood work to innovative ways with pattern, we invite you to delve in and see the products that have shaped our design world tour...

Fresh from Denmark, &Tradition’s ’Moor Rug’ was inspired by the Scandinavian countryside. Arriving in a modest tan, the octagonal shape was designed by graphic studio All The Way to Paris

Keeping with the muted palette are By Lassen’s architectural wallpaper that adds texture to the space (pictured left) and Frama’s simplistic mirror that rests on top (right)
