Challenging conventional forms and materials with NG Design

NG Design: bolder forms, practical choices

In 2026, the most convincing interiors feel curated over time. Less matching, more character, and more attention to what a piece does in daily use.

NG Design sits close to that shift. The studio approaches furniture as functional art, with handmade production in Poland and forms that lean sculptural without drifting into novelty. The result is clarity with personality, and objects that can hold a space together when the rest of the week feels scattered.

The bigger shifts

2026 Predictions: Curated rooms keep winning, with one or two sculptural anchors doing most of the work.

This shows up as fewer “sets” and more pieces chosen for proportion, surface, and the way they hold the room’s center. NG Design’s language fits that approach because the silhouettes read as intentional from a distance, then reward you up close through texture and construction.

Look for:

• Soft volume with a low stance
• Rounded lines paired with strict geometry
• Textured upholstery that does not rely on extra decoration
• Metal tables that keep the layout crisp and easy to live with

NG Design Object 085 2-Seater Sofa Modular scale and velvet softness, shaped as a single, confident mass.

NG Design Object 076 Lounge Chair Bouclé texture and oak spheres, built to read sculptural from every angle.

NG Design Object 079 Coffee Table Powder-coated steel, reduced geometry, and a surface you can actually use.

Placement notes: Give the main piece breathing room. Object 085 spans 220 cm, so it tends to look best with a little margin on both ends rather than being squeezed between tall storage. Keep the coffee table low and straightforward, and let textiles handle the softness.

Surface and contrast

2026 Predictions: Graphic surfaces are returning, used as punctuation rather than as a full-room theme.

When a room is already full of screens and notifications, pattern often lands better on a single object than across an entire scheme. The easiest way to do that without visual clutter is through finish. Veneer, metal, and a specific upholstery choice can carry the personality, while the rest stays pared back.

Look for:

• Engineered veneers with deliberate, oversized grain
• Oak and powder-coated steel paired in one table
• Metal frames with upholstered seats to soften the outline
• Materials that benefit from simple care habits, not complicated routines

NG Design Object 108 Coffee Table Alpi Sottsass veneer turns the table into a graphic focal point, without extra styling.

NG Design Object 109 Dining Table Powder-coated steel and oak, shaped into a straightforward table with real staying power.

NG Design Object 113 Chair A compact seat where velvet and metal do the contrast work, not extra ornament.

Finish notes: Treat these pieces like you would good joinery. Use coasters, wipe with a soft cloth, and avoid heat and standing liquids on wood surfaces. If you want to keep the look disciplined, limit bold surface to one item, then repeat it once in a smaller way, through a book cover or a framed print.

Hosting, without staging

2026 Predictions: Pattern is coming back, but it shows up in one deliberate seat or one textile, not as a full-room declaration.

This is one of the more practical shifts to copy. A single patterned chair changes the energy of a room, especially when the architecture is simple and the larger pieces stay restrained. NG Design’s approach makes that easy, because the frames stay clean-lined and the fabric choice carries the expression.

Look for:

• One statement upholstery placed where it will be used, not just seen
• A sofa with depth that supports longer conversations
• A coffee table that can take trays, books, and everyday objects
• Clear circulation paths that keep gatherings feeling easy

NG Design Object 085 2-Seater Sofa Soft volume that holds its own, even in a sparse layout.

NG Design Object 086 Chair The wildlife upholstery by JAB gives the room a point of view, with a minimal steel frame.

NG Design Object 079 Coffee Table A simple metal surface that keeps hosting practical and un-fussy.

Use notes: Keep one tray on the table and let the rest stay open. If you have baseboards, wall molding, or built-ins, the cleaner the lines around the architecture, the better patterned upholstery tends to land. The goal is balance, not a theme.
