Feel free to feel blue

Bring the magical hour inside, and immerse yourself in its soothing colours for as long as you desire.
 
The blue hour, a favorite among landscape photographers, offers a brief, tranquil interlude. Lasting around twenty minutes just before sunrise and following sunset, it occurs when the sun hovers just below the horizon.
This casts a serene blue shade over everything, a result of Rayleigh scattering, an optical phenomenon. The effect is particularly striking in winter landscapes, where both snow and sky absorb this rich blue tint, creating breathtaking scenes.


For those unable to witness this natural spectacle firsthand, incorporating these blue hues indoors can evoke a similar sense of calm. Blue, a timeless and enduring choice in interior design, has been increasingly popular. Designers have been gravitating towards rich blues with a subtle green undertone, reminiscent of the ocean and fjords. This trend is also reflected in the Stressless® colour collection. Pairing a deep teal blue with cooler, frosty shades like Paloma Breezy Blue can cultivate the tranquil ambiance many seek.

Discover more in our short video above, where trend expert Janne Muri highlights our range of blue shades and introduces the new Lotus fabric. This elegant, recycled polyester fabric features a refined structure.
