All over the world, it seems, people are rethinking their way of life. Simplicity and sustainability are no longer abstract desires, they are concepts that belong to everyday life. City dwellers are looking for products they can relate to every day, decor that allows them to build an emotional and tactile connection. Villanova by Marburg fits the bill perfectly, boasting refined materials and textured surfaces that are highly characteristic of modern home decor trends.
Hume Internationale products are designed for the environment

Imagine the scene. A fresh cartload of marigolds arrives at the mud hut. The hippies stop weaving their clothes for moment and stick a flower behind their hair. The stovetop bubbles away as the scent of mung beans and lentils drifts across the compound and people join hands to sing about the whale. Moonbeam and Rainbow dance across the untouched earth and more people arrive to surrender their possessions and hug the Sharing Tree. Sound like your town? Probably not, but you don’t have to go all barefoot and altruistic to save the planet. Why not start with your walls?
