What comes to your mind first and foremost in association with the word ‘Mediterranean’? Is it a delicious seafood salad, or a sip of a premium red wine? Does it perhaps remind you of long seaside walks, long swims, or cheerful music?
Mediterranean design covers more regions than you can imagine, drawing from countries in northern Africa, western Asia, and southern Europe. Although each local has its own unique offer, this region has many similarities in design that are admired throughout the world.
