Sleek and contemporary black is definitely back. The trend for black was spotted initially by the Amtico design team at the Milan Furniture Fair where many shades of black finishes dominated interior schemes, creating a very powerful and dramatic look.
Interiors are becoming more extravagant and flamboyant creating a theatrical feel to a space. When teamed with opulent and decorative furniture, these black surfaces create a playful twist on period environments. Often these spaces contain large scale chandeliers, decorative gilt mirrors and damask wallpaper for an evolution of classical style into contemporary “boutique” environments.
Black has been timelessly used within fashion and interiors for decades and revived once again with a contemporary edge. Shades of black have now been softened with subtle hints of aubergines, olive and chocolate tones adding a new dimension to classic black.
A dramatic and bold range of flooring, the Amtico Back to Black collection provides a stylish backdrop for many environments. Available in saturated shades of black the range has an innovative linear grain with a subtle lustre effect. Comprising of planks and square tiles, the product can be cut into a variety of different shapes and sizes to enhance the finish.
Inspired by current interior and fashion influences, the collection features four shades of black named Envy, Desire, Poison and Vamp.
