Eight products enriched by pigmented jewel tones
Dezeen Showroom: as we head into autumn in the northern hemisphere, we've rounded up a selection of furnishings listed on Dezeen Showroom that have deeply pigmented, rich appearances owing to their jewel-like colours.
Jewel tones are informed by the colour of natural minerals such as rubies, turquoise, emeralds, amethyst, amber and sapphires.
The opposite of muted pastels, these colours are characterised by their saturated, deep shades, which make them well-suited for the cooler, darker months ahead.
A spectrum of materials successfully embody jewel tones – among the following products are those made from metal, plastic, wood, glass, fabric and resin – each of which interacts with light in different ways to make unique use of the tones.
Lighting, seating, tables, kitchen units, bathtubs and soft furnishings are included in this roundup, all of which promote a jewellery box-like aesthetic when used in interiors, whether placed in isolation or as part of a wider design scheme.
Read on to discover a range of jewel-toned products listed by internationally renowned designers and brands on Dezeen Showroom.
Wahaaj tables by Shaikha Al Sulaiti
Swirls of colour mingling with patches of translucency contrast the geometric forms of Doha-based designer Shaikha Al Sulaiti's Wahaaj tables.
The tables sport rich colourations that reference Qatari stained glass – among the available colourways is a deep royal blue, enhanced by its glossy surfaces and translucency.
Pop lighting collection by Nahtrang for Rakumba
A series of arcing shapes rendered in deep red and dark blue form Australian brand Rakumba's Pop lighting collection, designed in collaboration with Spanish design studio Nahtrang.
Tube-shaped housing mounted to the metal frame contains the light fixture, and the pieces can be hung in groups for a dynamic composition or in isolation for a more delicate effect.
Zerogloss Kitchen by Zerogloss
Italian brand Zerogloss' steel kitchen units come in a range of colours – among them is a deep burgundy that creates a moody aesthetic in kitchens.
Zerogloss Kitchens are functional and streamlined, with a simple form that allows their hues and patterns to take centre stage.

Soda coffee table by Yiannis Ghikas for Miniforms
Greek designer Yiannis Ghikas worked with Italian furniture brand Miniforms on a glass coffee table called Soda, which is made purely from Murano glass.
Initially released in 2020, the tables now come in jewel-like amethyst, blue, amber and green, all of which have glossy, tonal appearances thanks to their transparent materiality.
Recalling the deep red-purple tone of garnet stones, US studio Juntos created a burgundy iteration of its Arc stool named Tinto.
The stool featured a concave seat and chevron-shaped legs, creating an interplay of light and shadow across its surfaces.
Blue Neotenic lamp by Jumbo for Petite Friture
