Gustaf Westman
It’s an aesthetic that in recent months has captured our attention through and through. In a similar vein to dopamine decor, and inspired by the playful designs of Swedish designer Gustaf Westman who famously experiments with curvy, sculptural shapes and a confident use of colour, this trend is showing no signs of slowing down. Take the Vue bubble collection for example, which sold out just weeks after restocking at Myer, or the new Gustaf Westman x IKEA collaboration, a range of delightfully whimsical home objects designed for holiday entertaining.
Light and breezy, bubbles evoke playtime and a feeling of lightness that’s a lot of fun to embrace – which is exactly what our homes should do for us. Our homes surround us in a protective bubble that makes us feel safe and secure. So, it’s no wonder the bubble homewares style is one that interior stylists and home decor enthusiasts love. But what exactly is the bubble homewares style? Let us explain.
Bubble homewares, also known as ‘bubblecore’, consists of decor pieces that feature curvaceous, bubble-like elements that bring playful design into the home. We’ve seen bubble homewares pop up in the shape of vases, lights, bedside table lamps, drinking glasses, candles, and more, over the past couple of years – and we’re not mad about it. Interior design enthusiasts are drawn to the organic feel and, again, playful feel of this homeware style, so it’s easy to see why many are looking for ways to incorporate bubble homewares into their styling choices. Because, what’s life without a bit of bubbly fun?
