Contemporary furniture and accessories at Next

Plump. Pliant. Plush. If it’s leather, it’s got to be all of the above, right?

Wrong. This month The Next Shop is showing leather furniture and accessories with a stark-but-sensual, minimalist look by eight-month-old Delhi-based company Urbane.

Switch from the usual cane and jute to burnished, embossed, and animal-printed leather coffee tables, consoles, and stools. They’re intended to fill your home’s empty spaces without disturbing existing arrangements. So, don’t throw out your sofa. Just add a sleek nesting table.

The many-buckled desk blotter and lizard printed-jewellery boxes make great gifts. Your mum will love the nicely conditioned fruit bowl: if you pour a glass of water inside, it won’t drip through. Or pick up, all for yourself, that capacious tote with rivets.

Trendylicious loved the elegantly shaped S-table, a three-tiered corner arrangement in deer-print. And the full-length bronzed mirror frames, which feel deliciously like your man’s stubble.

Great way to get some skin in the bedroom.
