As seen in the monochrome designs by &Klevering and Fermob or the tone-on-tone pieces by Ames and HAY, this fresh breeze is blowing across outdoor furniture, tableware, and home décor, filling it with sea green, aqua, and opaline. In gardens and on patios, these salty, acidic hues are brimming with Indian summer optimism.

 Mint green shades are also being applied to iconic avant-garde design pieces of the 1960s. The expressive curves of Verner Panton’s Panton Chair and Pierre Paulin’s Amphys sofa have been given a watery green twist in their reissues by Vitra and Paulin, Paulin, Paulin. A modern transformation that softens and brightens contemporary indoor and outdoor spaces.

 3D designers are also playing with the minty, pastel green palette, using it to create dreamlike settings, as evidenced by Joe Mortell’s imaginary garden and Jacob Egeberg’s lounge chair.

Enshrouded in a minty softness, men’s wardrobes are being lifted by an elegant range of apparel that remixes summer influences with an icy breeze. At Casablanca, Solid or Boss, technical jackets and ethereal shirts are taking on a clinical look – particularly relevant in today’s world where hygiene is of the essence.

 The trend also extends to teen and children’s fashion. After Millennial Pink, the mint green palette is becoming the new favourite among the younger generation whose vitality, and carefree spirit is embodied by this optimistic shade

A mineral, watered-down green evocative of nature is gently energising the activewear sector too. Through colour and ethical fabrics, sportswear is being given a more relaxed, holistic aesthetic.

The holidays might be over, but the sweet, diffuse scent of summer is lingering in the form of pale green bikinis, sunglasses, and jewellery, bleached by sun and salt. Hunza G, Lu Goldie and Soko are leading the trend.
