Something Beginning With has unveiled an all-new range of furniture finishes recalling the lush green of Balinese rainforest landscapes.


Tropical nature in all its resplendent beauty served as the inspiration for the new range of finishes from Something Beginning With, which mark the launch of Spring/Summer 16/17 collection. The colourful, tactile collection of hues and material options was conceived in-house by Something Beginning With, and are available across its range of furniture.

Debuted at Melbourne’s Heidi Museum of Modern Art, the range is launched alongside the newly unveiled Ari Day Bed. An evolution of the Ari sofa range, the day bed is designed with soft, sweeping curves, designed to inject a sense of comfort and simplicity, form home living spaces to commercial reception areas and more.

The Spring/Summer 16/17 collection’s lush tropical vibes pop out against a backdrop of modernist design. In bringing together the finishes, Something Beginning With has referenced botanical hues of nature, with shades of greens, sharp lemon yellow and calm blues, offset against blush pinks and fiery reds.

“This unique colour and material spectrum has been carefully curated and designed to produce interesting relationships and richly nuanced combinations between SBW’s products, resulting in a visually captivating, balanced and beautiful resolved collection of products,” says SBW design team Lisa Vincitorio and Laelie Berzon.

“The effervescent, tropically-inspired greens, coupled with the plethora of contrasting materials, colours and textures, enables designers to create a dynamic interplay between finish and form. It also allows you to individually customise your SBW pieces to create a dramatically changing look that can be translated into an array of applications,” says Ms Berzon.
