As we approach the end of the year, it's time to bid adieu to several design trends that have had their moment in the spotlight.  From all-white spaces to checkered rugs, these trends are now on their way out.

However, there is one trend that isn't going anywhere and that my friends, is the classic and timeless stainless steel.

From stainless steel shelving to kitchen cabinets and islands, this versatile material can breathe new life into older apartments and add a touch of elegance to any space.

 One of the best things about stainless steel is that it can be paired with almost any other material, making it a perfect match for wood, glass, and even stone. Whether you're aiming for a modern and sophisticated kitchen or looking to infuse industrial chic in your living room, stainless steel is an excellent choice.

However, it's essential to use it in moderation, as too much stainless steel can create a chilly and unwelcoming atmosphere. To balance things out, consider pairing it with warmer materials like wood or textiles.

This shelf above is featured in Frama's Rivet Series, and is one of our current obsessions. They don't just hold stuff; they're like the James Bond of storage, sleek and effortlessly cool. 

While we bid farewell to many design trends in 2023, we can take comfort in knowing that stainless steel is here to stay. With its timeless appeal and flexibility, it's no wonder that this material remains a top choice for designers and furniture enthusiasts alike.
