Dezeen Showroom: this roundup collates seven products, items of furniture and homewares listed on Dezeen Showroom that are rendered in rich brown tones.
The colour brown has been present in interior design for thousands of years due to it being the inherent colour of popular building materials including wood, rammed earth and brick – similarly, rattan and wood have long been employed to make furniture and other fittings.
Lighter warm neutral tones such as beige are popular in interior design thanks to their versatility and timelessness – brown is now having its moment again, with people favouring its rich, bold aesthetic while maintaining a sense of comfort and approachability.
Read on to see a selection of brown products that have been listed on Dezeen Showroom by eminent international brands and designers.
Couro pendant lights by Ceci Ferrero for Let's Pause
Decor brand Let's Pause worked with Spanish designer Ceci Ferrero on a series of ceiling-hung lights made from dried, wasted fronds of American palm trees.
Couro pendant lights have characterful, translucent brown shades that filter a warm glow through them when illuminated.
Pols table by Gordon Guillaumier for Alf DaFrè
A four-legged, tubular oak frame cradles a smoked glass tabletop in the Pols table, created by designer Gordon Guillaumier for Italian brand Alf DaFrè.
Two colourways can be specified for the glass top: Bronzo or Ambra.
Cenote basin by Patricia Urquiola for Agape
A glazed bowl and rough outer shell create contrast in Italian brand Agape's Cenote washbasin, created by designer Patricia Urquiola.
The basins are made from either lava stone or fireclay, both of which have an inherent dusky brown colouration.
EchoPanel acoustic panels by Woven Image
A textural shade called Cayenne joins Australian brand Woven Image's range of EchoPanel acoustic panels.
The colourway can be paired with any of the panels' decorative patterns, including arch-shaped Empire and pinstriped Longitude.

Wide, ribbed seats upholstered in a plush chocolate-brown velvet fabric characterise this sofa designed by Australian brand Sarah Ellison in collaboration with Pantone.
The colour is named Piccolo and was created specifically for the Float sofa, the form of which takes cues from 1970s furnishings.
Italian tile manufacturer Marazzi's Lume range includes a fawn-coloured tile with flecks of darker brown, adding to its intentionally imperfect appearance.
Southern Italian majolica tiles were the brand's reference point when developing the collection, which contains elongated rectangular tiles that can be laid either horizontally or vertically.
