Ultraviolet

Shining a light on Ultraviolet, a shade that leaves no one indifferent. On this week’s Le Journal, we dive into this fascinating shade of purple that is taking the interiors world by storm.

We’ve seen it in icons like Prince, David Bowie or Elton John, who have championed the inclusion of purple as an expression of their artistic brilliance and charismatic personality.

Purple, and in particular Ultraviolet, is the colour to be daring and a statement in itself. Its eye-catching appeal is often associated with elegance, extravagance and creativity. When it comes to interiors, this bold hue is ideal for those who are keen to push boundaries in the decoration of their living space, injecting them with an eclectic appeal by means of this fascinating shade.

The purple glass of the Amethyst vase is given a stylish upgrade with the metallic lavishness of golden hues.
Petite in size but big in style, the Amethyst vase is a fabulous choice to slowly introduce purple hues into your decor.

Choices, as usual, are endless. Whether you plan to go bold and paint your walls in a mauve palette or add just one piece at a time, this bold shade will completely change the look and feel of the room. Even a vase of fresh purple flowers will make any interior look more elegant and make solid materials, such as wood, or neutral palettes flourish.

Solid woods and finishes, such as the ones from our Sadie, benefit from the natural elegance of small purple touches.
