STEP INTO THE PAST FORWARD COLLECTION

Pause and rediscover the beauty of what feels familiar with the Past Forward Collection. A range of new covers for spring and summer, it’s inspired by the idea of slowing down in a fast-paced world – looking back to move forward. Bringing together tactile fabrics and softened graphic prints, the collection explores modern nostalgia, where memories of the past are reimagined for contemporary living. From striking dots to bold cow patterns and warm, lived-in tones, it invites you to shape a space that feels as light as the season, yet entirely your own. Paired with Atelier Fit – our new draped silhouette – it introduces a softer, more fluid way to transform your furniture and refresh your home.

A SLOWER KIND OF EXPRESSION

The Past Forward Collection is all about being grounded in the moment, surrounded by things that feel real and enduring. For you, that might mean refreshing your living room with a new accent armchair cover, layering textures on your sofa, or simply introducing a fabric that brings warmth and familiarity into your space.

Nothing feels overworked. Instead, everything is designed to bring calm, balance and a sense of presence into everyday living.

PLAY WITH A NEW SILHOUETTE - ATELIER FIT

At the centre of the collection is Atelier Fit – a new relaxed silhouette that transforms IKEA’s classic Ektorp sofas, armchairs and even bolster cushions into something softer and more expressive.

The gently flowing lines fall naturally over the furniture, creating a relaxed yet refined look that feels both familiar and elevated.

Whether you’re updating a well-loved sofa or reimagining your space from scratch, Atelier Fit offers a simple way to introduce movement, softness and a new perspective into your home.

True progress isn’t about rushing forward, but creating space to feel, to remember, and to truly live in the present, which is the key inspiration behind the Past Forward Collection. With the new Atelier Fit, we introduce a softer, more fluid expression to the Bemz cover range – one that honours our tailored heritage while embracing a new, relaxed elegance.

A SEASONAL SHIFT

Specifically designed for the warmer months, the collection is all about capturing lightness and ease of the season.

A palette of rosy beige, buttery yellow and pearlescent tones creates a warm, airy atmosphere. Swap heavier textiles for lighter covers, refresh your cushions, or introduce a new fabric to instantly shift the mood of a room – even the smallest changes can make a difference.

TELL YOUR STORY THROUGH FABRIC

Texture plays a central role in this collection. Soft, tactile fabrics – woven with subtle irregularities – add depth and a lived-in quality that evolves over time. Experiment with a harmonious mix of six fabrics, each offering its own interpretation of past and present.

Simply Linen Dots

Sink into a soft, graphic classic of striking dots, exclusively designed by Bemz. This linen-like weave is made from 100% natural materials and pairs the softness of linen with the durability of cotton.

Cow Chenille

Go bold with a sophisticated cow pattern in cream and brown tones on soft chenille, blending retro character with a more contemporary look. The surface feels and looks like velvet with a subtle sheen that catches the light and enhances the fabric’s texture. Cow Chenile is dry clean only.

Large Gingham Cotton

Embrace the familiarity of gingham checks in a chalky blue. Woven from 100% BCI cotton, this timeless design brings a relaxed expression that’s naturally at home with any interior style.

Cotton Large Stripe

Define your space with commanding wide stripes in a muted blue tone. Fashioned from a durable yet soft fabric in 100% BCI cotton, this graphic pattern creates a balanced look that feels modern yet timeless.

Cotton Multi Stripe

Make your expression layered in multicoloured stripes of warm browns and soft pinks. The design feels both nostalgic and quietly playful, while the 100% BCI cotton fabric makes it easy to live with.

Cotton Mini Stripe

Uncover the understated impact of fine stripes in warm tonal shades. This 100% BCI cotton weave features narrow stripes in hues of brown and pink. It’s a subtle yet lively expression with a hint of retro – ideal for layering and contrasting.
