Let’s Mingle: The 2024 Open Days in Breda and Amsterdam

The Satelliet Directors and Sales team recently visited Breda and Amsterdam for the 2024 Open Days. This event provided a chance to preview Satelliet’s 2025 collection, gather inspiration for the year ahead, and connect with Satelliet partners from across Europe.

The theme of this year’s open days was Let’s Mingle, which is the art of connection – both in design and in bringing people together. The event was an immersive experience, weaving creativity, and innovation into every detail. The showrooms were transformed into a vibrant hub of creativity.

Trending Materials & Design: A Perfect Blend

The Let’s Mingle concept represents a fusion of materials, colours, and patterns, setting new trends in the UK design scene.

Sustainability Spotlight: We continue to explore the potential of eco alternatives to solid wood over the next few years.

Scandi Calm

Our Code series now features a very striking new shade, Ivory White. With its cheerful terrazzo like speckles and understated vibe, it’s the perfect addition to any Scandinavian-inspired interior. Code is a sustainable seating option made entirely from recycled materials.

Statement Pieces From the sturdy Noodle design to the playful Tipi table, every piece has been made to inspire.

Pastel Palettes The Girola collection, crafted from recycled aluminium, now features chic pastel shades like Powder Blue, Basil Green, and Sand Yellow – are pastels the colour trend for 2025?

Creative Collaborations: Design Meets Art

The events showcased boundary-pushing collaborations with artist Toshy, where art and functionality merged seamlessly.

The “You & Me” Ethos: Toshy’s designs focus on individuality and connection, showing how furniture can encourage interaction. Toshy explains:

“You & Me is about recognising and valuing individuality. Interaction between individuals leads to inspiration and connection. By staying true to yourself, you showcase character and make a difference. This concept illustrates that a chair, barstool, or ottoman is functional on its own – Me – and gains connecting value when paired with another item, creating interaction with ‘You.’ You & Me symbolises bringing people together and highlights the functional role that furniture can play in this process.”

Exclusive Fabrics: Toshy’s vibrant fabric designs – available in Black & White, Petrol, and Salmon Pink have transformed pieces like the Gerlin, Biscuit, and Serpent. These bold colourways will transform the typically calmer tones of contemporary UK interiors.

The showstopper? A red velvet talking sofa adorned with gold-framed talking faces, perfectly designed for conversation and connection. This iconic piece encapsulated the essence of Let’s Mingle, sparking introductions and endless inspiration.

Let’s Mingle wasn’t just an event; it was a celebration of togetherness.

As the saying goes, “If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together.”

We can’t wait to see what 2025 brings!
