When I was in school, maths was one of my favourite subjects (so geeky, I know!). I felt completely at one with algebra, logic and even calculus but there was one branch of maths that was a thorn in my side and that was geometry. How the tables have turned since then… I’ve forgotten all my complex equations but I can’t resist a good geometric pattern. Not quite the same as studying geometry but it’s those exact same shapes I dreaded seeing that now bring such delight. And so when I saw the goodies offered by OYOY, a new Danish interior design shop, I was smitten. I first spotted their clean designs adorned with geometric patterns over at Paul et Paula and I knew I had to share them here.
From the colourful hexagon bed linen to the cushions adorned with a range of shapes, OYOY’s style is minimal, clean and very Scandinavian. They use lots of shapes throughout their creations but without ever over-doing it. Less is more is their design ethos and it clearly shows. While there are things aimed specifically at kids, I think much of the beauty lies in the ageless appeal of everything they offer. The colour scheme of using lots of neutrals with pops of neon is really appealing too. I’ve always been very partial to Scandi design and OYOY is another great new example of Scandi design at it’s best. Forget algebra, I now know that geometry is the way to go!
