Shifting Spaces Collection
Luxury furniture design leader Coco Republic presents its Shifting Spaces collection for Autumn/Winter 2026, a celebration of natural materials and timeless craftsmanship.
Originally born as Town & Country, Coco Republic is all grown up, settled into its ‘new’ name (a moniker the company has worn since 2002) and its identity as the last word in luxurious designer furniture in Australia – and, more recently, New Zealand. Yet, for its latest collection, Shifting Spaces, the company has cast an eye back to the past, drawing on the brand’s original name and concept to explore luxury living across both rural and urban residences and show how its chameleonic pieces travel seamlessly between both.
The Shifting Spaces campaign takes customers on a journey from an urbane city residence to the relaxed grandeur of a country estate. Despite this duality, the two settings are tied together by beautiful, immersive design. The interiors are quietly opulent yet liveable, and express how Coco Republic pieces work to create a feeling of comfortable luxury in dramatically disparate spaces.
This flexibility was a primary design driver of the range, which has scaled pieces to fit urban residences – which are predominantly smaller and may have accessibility challenges – without sacrificing the brand’s defining element of stately splendour. The Corinthia round dining table – with its fluted Calacatta marble base reminiscent of a classical column – and the Copenhagen round dining table, which takes the same core elements, have a refined, minimalist form – and in compact 900-millimetre or 1,200-millimetre iterations that are ideally suited to even the most petite pied-à-terre. The Pinion side table and coffee table further illustrate the concept – presented as a bunching pair, they can be grouped together in a generous room or sit as separate sculptural pieces. These new silhouettes sit comfortably beside updated Coco Republic classics, including the iconic Omega and Willow ranges.
The core element that binds both city and country interiors – and a defining characteristic of the overall Coco Republic catalogue – is the celebration of materiality. The Shifting Spaces range is a collation of natural materials that draw on the organic beauty of the outside world and use biophilic elements to paint a picture of warmth, calm and connection. Key materials include leather, marble, rattan, timber and fabric (ranging from relaxed linen to tactile velvet and bouclé), with each contributing a layer of textural depth and richness, the sum of which is a feeling of multisensory luxury.
Buttery soft and supple leather combines living-proof durability with incomparable luxury in the curvy modernist Soma modular sofa and compact Florence Knoll-inspired Pembroke sofa. Considered use of rattan in the Windsor loveseat sofa is a subtle nod to timeless craftsmanship and, paired with the oak frame and linen-look fabric, a light and airy celebration of tactile materials. Richly veined marble and warm, walnut-toned timber are repeated throughout and form the reassuringly substantial backbone of the collection.
“Shifting spaces is about bringing the outside in, the richness of chocolate and camel leathers, the depth of green velvet and leather, the quiet permanence of marble and natural timber,” says the company’s creative director, Brett Kladney. “Even as the seasons shift, we wanted the collection to feel connected to the natural world, warm and organic, like the best of outdoor living carried indoors.”
From town to country, grand spaces or compact, Coco Republic’s latest range expresses an understanding of the emotionally evocative power of materials and the subtlety of true luxury.
