BEYOND THE TIMBER CATALOGUE

The most commercially interesting furniture in the contemporary wholesale market is not made from a single material. Pieces that combine timber with metal, stone with glass, woven with lacquered wood — these are the designs that buyers choose when they want to say something visually distinct about their brand.

Living Ikon’s mixed media collection is a curated selection of pieces where material combination is the design idea — not an afterthought. Products developed specifically to leverage our multi-material sourcing and production capability in ways that single-material manufacturers cannot replicate.

WHAT THE MIXED MEDIA COLLECTION COVERS

The collection spans all furniture categories — living, dining, bedroom, and occasional — with a shared philosophy: every material in every piece is there for a reason, and the combination creates something neither material could achieve alone.

TIMBER + METAL
The most commercially proven mixed media direction. Black powder-coated steel frames against warm solid timber tops and panels — a combination that reads contemporary, photographs strongly, and sells consistently across markets and price points.

Pieces in this direction include:

Dining tables (timber top, steel A-frame or hairpin legs)
Coffee and side tables (timber tops and shelves, geometric steel frames)
Shelving and display units (solid timber shelves, raw or powder-coated steel frames)
Bed frames (steel head and foot, timber side rails and slat base)
Sideboards (solid timber body, metal frame legs and handles)

TIMBER + STONE
Premium positioning driven by the material combination. Marble, travertine, and terrazzo tops on timber bases — pieces that allow meaningful price point elevation and signal quality before the consumer reads a single specification.

Coffee tables (marble top, solid oak or walnut base)
Dining tables (stone top, timber or metal base)
Side tables and console tops (travertine and terrazzo options)

TIMBER + WOVEN
Natural materials combined — creating warmth, texture, and craft quality that appeals strongly to coastal, Japandi, and organic interior directions. Rattan, cane, seagrass, and abaca elements integrated into timber frames.

Sideboards and buffets (cane-front door panels in solid timber frames)
Dining chairs (woven seat and back panel in solid timber frame)
Bed heads (woven panel insert in timber frame)
Occasional chairs (full woven body, timber legs)
Side and coffee tables (woven shelf and base elements)

TIMBER + GLASS
Glass introduces light and openness — a material that physically reduces the visual weight of a piece and opens space rather than filling it. Reeded and ribbed glass in timber-framed cabinet doors is one of the strongest current trends in the category.

Display cabinets and buffets (reeded glass doors in solid timber frames)
Coffee tables (tinted or smoked glass top, timber base)
Shelving (glass shelves in timber frame)

THE CASE FOR MIXED MEDIA IN YOUR WHOLESALE RANGE

Single-material ranges are easier to produce. They’re also easier for competitors to replicate and for consumers to compare on price alone.

Mixed media creates product that is harder to copy, harder to price-compare, and more interesting to look at — which translates directly into stronger margins and lower substitution risk.

Buyers who have introduced mixed media pieces into predominantly timber ranges consistently report stronger consumer response, higher average transaction values, and more distinctive retail floor presentations.
