A CONVERSATION WITH UNA MALAN; PURVEYOR OF LUXURY CONTEMPORARY FURNITURE
The Niche Interiors team has had the pleasure of collaborating with Una Malan on many of our residential projects over the years. Her eponymous luxury furniture showroom is one of our favorite sources for contemporary furniture, lighting and fabrics. Principal Designer Jennifer sat down with Una to find out what designers, products and interior design trends she is excited about for 2025.
What design trends are you tired of and what do you think is starting to take off?
I've noticed that overly trendy, disposable design is losing its appeal—which I'm thrilled about. Instead, there's a growing appreciation for timeless pieces with soul, quality, and longevity. What's taking off? A renewed focus on the maker's story, craftsmanship, and sustainability. It's less about "What's in?" and more about "What feels authentic and enduring?"
Are there new brands or makers you are excited to introduce in 2025?
Absolutely! In 2025, we're excited to expand our offerings with the artisans who share our ethos of craftsmanship and sustainability. Last year we brought Cameron Design House to our showroom, a lighting design firm from the UK. We are the first, and only, showroom in the US to represent them. Additionally, we recently launched our debut fabric collection, Capsule by Una Malan, made in collaboration with the finest Italian mills. We are also a introducing number of casegoods and outdoor furniture collections, each with subtle details in the materials that we know our clients will love.
The Kuulas pendant by Cameron Design House continues to captivate my imagination. Its design achieves a perfect harmony between strength and softness, enhanced by the exceptional craftsmanship and striking scale. I recently saw it showcased in London, featuring a stunning combination of vibrant orange glass and brass hardware.
Are there any new pieces in your own collection that you can't wait to show off?
The Pulse Nightstand is a striking blend of contemporary design and timeless sophistication. Its name, "Pulse," draws inspiration from the rhythmic, equal segments that compose its bold, quilted facade. Upholstered in luxurious leather and supported by slender brass legs, the piece exudes a refined elegance.
