From subtly clashing colours, such as strong greens and bold blues to soft pinks paired with dark, dusky reds, the Havana colour palette mirrors the vibrant yet lived-in hues of the city. Each shade has been carefully chosen to evoke the unique spirit of Havana, where sun-soaked facades tell stories of both history and resilience. These rich colours come together harmoniously, much like the city itself, where every corner offers a new discovery of beauty and character.

In addition to its rich palette, the Havana collection is deeply inspired by the city’s iconic architecture and artistic traditions. Rustic textures and tonal layers reflect the softened elegance of Cuba, reminiscent of the weathered buildings and meticulous craftsmanship that define Havana's buildings and streets. Inspired by the floor-to-ceiling tiles and the bold use of pattern on pattern, this collection has been thoughtfully curated to bring the warmth and endurance of Cuban culture into interiors. Each design celebrates Havana’s opulent blend of cultures and range of artistic styles.

Our hero design of the season, Rueda, draws on the vast array of ceramic tiling often seen in the decaying buildings of Old Havana, where each tile is an artwork in its own right. This loose, carefree pinwheel design borrows from a style unique to Cuba, with influences taken from Spanish and Portuguese ceramics merged with the Cuban free spirit; movement and life.

We are excited to introduce three more new stunning cushion designs to our range: El Vedado, a vibrant geometric design inspired by a conservatory designed by René Lalique at Baró-Lasa, a renowned residence in Havana; the larger Remolino Velvet Embroidered Cushion; and finally, San Juan, a small velvet cushion, both featuring embroidery inspired by the Art Deco architectural details of the Bacardi Building in Old Havana. As with every collection, each piece is thoughtfully designed to complement one another or stand alone, blending seamlessly with your existing soft furnishings, home accessories, and décor.

We are delighted to reintroduce a range of limited edition Silk Ikat Patterned Cushions, sourced by Birdie in Istanbul. These offer a selection of bold designs that will infuse any interior with a touch of Middle Eastern style. Crafted in small batches from hand-woven silk and finished with coordinating ric-rac trim, these cushions seamlessly layer with soft velvets like our Remolino Embroidered Velvet Cushion or the intricate El Vedado Geometric Patterned Cushion. Their rectangular shape makes them ideal for styling in a sofa arrangement, adding both elegance and comfort to your living space.

One of Birdie’s favourite pieces in the collection, is our stunning and intricate Varuna Hand-tufted Trellis Wool Rug. This new loop wool rug, designed in Norfolk and woven by artisans in Bhadohi, India, combines traditional oriental designs with a contemporary twist, making it perfect for both formal and informal settings. We love to style this rug under a coffee table, or why not style with one of our own Rattan Headboards and a fresh Aravali Cutwork Embroidered Cotton Reversible Bedspread, in your bedroom, for the ultimate bedroom luxury - don’t forget a sturdy Plaited Woven Tray for bringing in your breakfast croissants and a steaming coffee!

Other stand out pieces within the collection include our new furniture range, the Havana Stripe Bone Inlay Coffee Table and Side Table. Meticulously crafted from bone and mango wood by artisans in Rajasthan, the subtle browns and milky tones, along with the contemporary circular inlay design, are a tactile and elegant feature in any space.

These solid pieces look fantastic in any sitting room with our new Varuna Rug, a sofa layered with plenty of soft furnishings, and stylish lighting. Why not choose the latest addition to our Twisted Lamp family? Hand carved from mango wood in India, our Twisted Wooden Floor Lamp is now available in a seasonal red colourway. This floor lamp has been thoughtfully designed so it stands at just the right height when positioned next to an armchair or sofa, it's the perfect companion for late night reading! 

Carefully considered and thoughtfully designed, the Havana collection brings seasonal flair and warmth to the home with saturated textures and vibrant colours, perfect for the autumn season through to deep winter and beyond. The Havana Stripe Bone Inlay Coffee Table makes a great centrepiece for sitting rooms, while our new collection of luxury velvet and embroidered cushions add comfort and luxury. Celebrate Christmas Eve, or Nochebuena, as Cubans do, with a festive feast and a stunning tablescape laid with our new Gloss Painted Wooden Column Candlesticks and our signature Bel Table Linens.

As with all our collections, Birdie’s signature style for cohesive and harmonious interiors grounds the new designs and colour palette. Bold textures, contemporary designs and fun finishes inject vibrancy into an interior, whilst still creating a calm and relaxing atmosphere. Designed to be cherished for years to come, with timeless pieces that can easily layer into the home, the Havana Collection perfectly marries classic with contemporary and brings the vibrancy and warmth of Cuban culture into Autumn Winter living.
