Be inspired by a mix of handmade interior products from different cultural crafts from around the world and add a unique experience to your assortment or styling project. Combining different cultural elements with a modern collection is the basis for the latest TICA theme: Colourful Cultures. Step out of your interior comfort zone, bring the world together under one roof and go for an interplay of craft products, rich colours and ethnic accents.

Handmade items

Moroccan baskets, ‘simple’ Japanese furniture, traditional Mediterranean Ikat textiles or Persian carpets; these traditionally crafted products are made using centuries-old techniques. Handmade items reflect the cultural identity of a community or period and bring with them a rich history. They are unique, authentic and imperfect. They tell a story and that makes these traditional products a striking addition to anyone’s interior.

Natural materials

Interior products within this theme mostly consist of natural materials. These include wool, reed, bamboo, linen, cotton, leather and wood. Besides a peaceful look, these natural elements bring warmth to your interior. Go on a voyage of discovery and choose interior products such as a high-pile woollen rug combined with wooden furniture and earthy terracotta accessories.

Warm colours

Colours you see a lot within this theme are warm browns with undertones of red and orange. Not only do these colours pair incredibly well with natural materials, they also suit the crafty feel and the autumn that is just around the corner. Use fresh shades like light blue and yellow to counterbalance. Whether you are going to replenish your shop assortment or want to do an interior job according to the latest trends; with this theme you will show the colours of the world!

Imperfect patterns

Playing with different structures and imperfect details such as fraying and loose threads creates a 3D effect and adds excitement to a room. Think Ikat fabric poufs, cheerful Moroccan berber baskets and wall decorations, earthenware pots and hand-painted ceramic tableware.

Back to school

The busy summer holidays give way to a new school year. In line with the Colourful Cultures theme, create your own back-to-school kids range for your shop or boutique with cheerful lunch boxes, school bags and clothes. Or use a styling project to give a children’s room a warm and inviting twist with handmade baskets, crocheted cuddly toys, soft muslin cloths and felt wall decorations.
