The Beauty In The Boring

Presented at the Salone del Mobile Milan 2016‚ Lensvelt’s ‘The Boring Collection’ is a line of classic office furniture all in a grey-beige shade.
As uninteresting as the concept may first seem, the collection offers plenty of advantages. Each piece blends into the background, allowing the rest of the elements in a given space – art and plants, for examples – to take centre stage. When grouped together, the range’s monochromatic tone creates an aesthetic all of its own. “It’s not about furniture,” explain Lensvelt. “It’s time to put everything else front and centre: the interior design, the view, that other great chair, the pictures on the wall, the people.”
