I used to publish a regular monthly Style Radar feature highlighting my favourite new product and design launches on Design Hunter. It’s been a while since I kept that series going, but with spring bringing a fresh wave of new releases, I wanted to revive the format for a short round-up. Below are a few recent discoveries that stood out to me this month, from kitchen storage solutions to terrazzo tiles — practical, considered pieces that suit calm, contemporary interiors.
1 The Haberdasher’s Pantry by deVol
deVol has introduced a new finish for its Haberdasher’s pantry that feels both fresh and timeless. The Sheer Stocking White is a single-coat tinted oil that imparts a pale, warm wash over oak, softening its grain while preserving natural texture. The result is a quietly elegant surface that complements neutral, calm palettes and natural materials.
This finish works beautifully with traditional shaker-style cabinetry, where the subtle tint highlights joinery details without calling attention to itself. At the same time, the light, washed oak would provide an intriguing counterpoint in a pared-back, minimalist kitchen, adding warmth and an heirloom quality to otherwise streamlined spaces. It’s a versatile option for anyone seeking a natural, understated look that still feels considered and refined.

2 New Modular Sofa Collection by Ferm Living
Ferm Living has launched its first modular sofa collection, a welcome addition for anyone who values adaptable seating with a soft, approachable aesthetic. The Catena collection is designed around generous proportions and gentle curves, giving a relaxed, inviting silhouette that feels both modern and lived-in.
With six modular elements available, Catena can be configured in multiple ways to suit different rooms and lifestyles. Whether you need a compact two-seater for a smaller sitting room or a sprawling sectional for a family space, the modularity makes it straightforward to adapt the pieces as needs change. The upholstery and finishes aim to strike a balance between comfort and sculptural form, which suits contemporary interiors leaning towards warm minimalism or layered, eclectic schemes.
A modular sofa like this is particularly useful if you appreciate flexible layouts. It lets you specify depth, arm treatments and composition without committing to a fixed footprint. For many homes, that combination of adaptability and understated style is exactly right.

3 K-12 Terrazzo from Otto Tiles

Terrazzo continues to evolve beyond classic grey and white palettes, and Otto Tiles’ K-12 collection shows how colour and texture can freshen a bathroom scheme without feeling faddish. This particular variant pairs a soft pastel green base with bold black aggregate and complementary neutral chips, creating a surface with depth, personality and a subtle sense of play.
Increasingly I’m seeing basins, baths and WCs offered in colour as well as tiles and flooring, which makes it easier to build cohesive bathroom schemes that move away from all-white minimalism. The K-12 terrazzo feels contemporary yet restrained; paired with a simple concrete basin and matte black fittings it reads as quietly modern and balanced rather than loud or overworked.
If you’re planning a bathroom project, consider how a terrazzo tile with mixed tones can act as both a focal point and an integrating material. Its speckled surface hides wear well, and the range of chip sizes lets you choose a visual scale that suits the room — finer chips for a subtle texture or larger chips to make a stronger graphic statement.
I spent time at a recent trade show where coloured sanitaryware and textured surfaces were clearly on the rise. Later this month I’ll publish a more detailed round-up of bathroom trends and products I noticed, but for now these tiles are a solid example of how to introduce colour, texture and longevity into a scheme without losing a calm, considered aesthetic.
