Sink into comfort with the latest collection of luxe sheets by Italian brand Frette. This season, the focus is on jacquard, with woven patterns on soft Egyptian cotton making for a lushly tactile collection.

A particular standout, the Pixel range features an interplay of squares and lines – a modern take on the punch cards first used in jacquard looms – set against a lustrous sateen finish. B1 Takashimaya, Ngee Ann City.

IN GOOD FORM

Leather sofas are a dime a dozen. Putting a different spin on the classic cowskin couch, Hong Kong designer brand Giormani has given its new Diamante Sofa a hexagonal form.

To further set it apart, chief designer Kelvin Ng has covered the sofa’s surface with geometric panels of leather, creating a multi-faceted effect. Customers can choose from different colours to create a variety of combinations. Level 2 Liang Court, 177 River Valley Road.

SMART DESIGN

Stylishly mixing cool metals with earthy materials like wood and brick, the industrial-chic look has become a modern classic in interior design. Now, fans of this home-design style can get the television to match.

The Beovision 14, the latest design by Danish electronics brand Bang & Olufsen, sees antireflection glass framed by sleek aluminium, while an oak wood panel provides warm contrast. Geek-out options include smart software that lets you share your favourite movies, photos and tunes from a mobile phone or tablet to the Beovision 14. Available in either 40 inches or 55 inches. www.bang-olufsen.com.
