Incorporate Fall's Cozy Colors
Rich, Warm & Earthy.
Fall is here, and so are its beautiful colors. Warm autumn shades enhance any space and create a welcoming, cozy vibe!
Earthy Browns: Incorporate this grounding color through wooden furniture, leather upholstery, or woven baskets, emphasizing nature's organic beauty.
Olive and Forest Greens: These muted greens can be introduced through plants, cushions, or wall graphics to add a hint of lingering greenery and tranquility.
Plum and Deep Purples: Introduce these luxurious hues through textured items like decorative glassware for a rich, elegant touch.
Deep Reds: These tones add warmth and depth. Use them in throw pillows, rugs, or accent walls for a bold, cozy effect.
Burnt Orange: Perfect for accessories like vases, blankets, or artwork, this color provides a vibrant yet earthy pop that captures the essence of fall foliage.
Golden Yellows: These can be used in fabrics like cushions, curtains, or decorative pieces, bringing in a soft, golden glow that mirrors autumn’s sunlight.

Fall is a time of transformation, encouraging us to reflect on change and renewal in our surroundings. We see many manufacturers embracing renewal through sustainable practices, showing a commitment to the environment and future generations. Circular design is leading this change in the manufacturing industry by promoting sustainability, reducing waste, and using renewable resources.
As a manufacturer committed to sustainability, Haworth has developed a holistic circular design philosophy, with three key principles that are applied throughout the design process: sustainable materials, product use extension, and responsible end of life. This philosophy is applied to the design of all new products, helping to create innovative solutions and close loops to transition toward a more responsible, sustainable future.

Look for more designs and fresh ideas to come, as scientists, engineers, designers, materials experts, and globally renowned manufacturing partners continue to work together, researching and developing new uses for knitting technology across our range of product lines.
Created in partnership with Studio Urquiola, the Haworth Cardigan lounge chair is inspired by the form-fitting cardigan sweater. Its efficient design, light-scale form, and digital knit material deliver ideal comfort in a variety of ancillary spaces.
