Here in Britain and in many places in the world, interior design is undergoing a quiet revolution, one rooted in our emotional connection to pieces which have historical resonance. There has been a renewed appetite for pieces that tell stories that resonate. 

Thankfully, the age of fast furniture is fading. More people are after timeless, high-end designs, not just due to the aesthetics, but for the meaning behind them. 

For discerning homeowners in London and beyond, along with designers and collectors alike, furniture is no longer merely functional; it’s about heritage, artistry and identity. Among the brands leading this movement is Tamart, a London-based design house steeped in modernist legacy and creative vision. 

Founded to honour the multidisciplinary work and love story of Tamar de Shalit and Arthur Goldreich, Tamart reimagines mid-century modernism for the present day. Our meticulously crafted collections illustrate how high-end furniture is shaping and defining the interiors of tomorrow.

1. Narrative-Driven Design

More people have a preference for furniture with a backstory than ever before. In 2025, storytelling is as integral to interior design as is the choice of fabric or colour palette. In cities like London people are actively seeking pieces with cultural depth, architectural relevance and emotional weight.

Tamart’s pieces don’t just furnish a room; they inhabit it with intent. Take the three-legged Central Stool, designed by Tamar de Shalit during her time at London’s Central School of Arts and Crafts in the 1950s. It’s not simply a place to recline; it’s a connection to British design history and a symbol of formative creativity. 

2. Mid-Century Modern Reinvented

While mid-century modern has remained a design staple, in recent years it’s being reinterpreted with fresh eyes. Rather than replicating the past, designers are updating classic silhouettes with contemporary materials, technology and more cultural context.

The Clore Collection at Tamart is a prime example. Originally designed for the penthouse of arts patron Sir Charles Clore in the 1960s, the collection’s lounge chair, ottoman, coffee tables and new Clore Floor Lamp remain unmistakably mid-century. Yet, they also reflect modern living: softer curves, sustainably sourced materials, and an adaptable size suited to today’s interiors.

3. Functional Art as Centrepiece

High-end furniture is increasingly blurring the line between function and art. People are investing in statement pieces that enhance a space’s visual language while serving their practical needs. A sculptural lounge chair, a bold coffee table or a minimalist stool can serve as a room’s anchor point.

Tamart’s Red Rock Club Collection embraces this ethos. Originating from bespoke pieces designed for the Red Rock Hotel and Club in Eilat (once a glamorous jet-set destination) the Club Chair, Stool and Lounge Table have a cinematic feel.  

Bold and eyecatching, their geometric balance and playful gravitas command attention, turning practical items into conversation pieces.

4. Multidisciplinary Influence

Modern design is no longer siloed. In 2025, the best interiors are the result of cross-disciplinary thinking, where architecture, sculpture, craft and fine art converge.

Tamart’s very DNA is built on this approach. Tamar de Shalit and Arthur Goldreich were not only designers, they were polymaths. Their work spans architecture, political activism, and artistic expression. Each Tamart collection reflects this multidisciplinary sensibility. It’s furniture, yes, but it’s also spatial philosophy. 

5. Sustainability Without Compromise

Sustainability is no longer a bonus; for many buyers it’s a basic expectation. Nowadays,  people are demanding more: not just ethically made, but beautifully crafted, enduringly relevant and designed to last. You want furniture that justifies its presence for decades, not seasons.

Tamart meets this challenge not through gimmicks but through integrity of design. Our collections favour timelessness over trend-chasing, craftsmanship over convenience. 

Our limited-run pieces are designed to be passed down generations. In doing so, Tamart champions a slower, more conscious model of consumption that still speaks to luxury.

6. Emotional Space-Making

Perhaps the most profound trend is the rise of emotionally curated spaces. Interiors in 2025 are designed for calm, connection, and reflection. Furniture plays a pivotal role in shaping this atmosphere.

Tamart’s collections evoke this emotional richness. Whether it’s the poised stillness of the Central Stool or the intimate sophistication of the Clore Lounge Chair, these pieces create mood as much as they provide comfort. They offer texture, memory and depth in a world that’s increasingly hungry for authenticity.

The future of interior design is personal, expressive, and anchored in meaning. High-end furniture is no longer about status, it’s about soul. As trends shift towards narrative, craftsmanship and emotional depth, brands like Tamart stand at the vanguard. Our collections don’t just reflect where design is going, they help shape it.

In 2025, to furnish well is to live well. And in that world, Tamart’s voice rings clear and true.
