Heritage Collection: Curated. Textural. Considered.

Introducing our Heritage Collection—a fresh signature style that expands the Alfresco Emporium portfolio. While these design principles have long shaped our aesthetic, the Heritage Collection offers a more refined expression—bringing renewed focus to materials, layered textures, and a sense of quiet elegance.

Defined by a balance of strength and softness, this collection combines enduring materials, warm finishes, and thoughtful details that feel both grounded and elevated. The result is a space that’s character-rich, calm, and considered.

The Essence of Heritage Style

“This collection is about creating spaces that feel elegant, welcoming, and full of character.”
– Michael, Alfresco Emporium

The Heritage aesthetic is one of contrast—natural marble and aged wood paired with soft leathers, florals, and tactile accessories. You’ll notice antique-inspired details and classic silhouettes, but nothing that feels overly formal. Each piece is designed to feel like it belongs.

Materials That Set the Mood

Texture is at the heart of this collection. Every element has been chosen to enhance the room through its surface, weight, or patina:

  • Soft leather – From generous sofas to small details like an armrest bag, these pieces anchor a room while softening with age.

  • Aged wood – Seen in our Boston dining table and bench, this finish offers contrast and a natural warmth beside leather.

  • Brass accents – Trophy-style décor and subtle hardware bring in a gentle gleam without dominating the space.

  • Beige ceramics – Neutral and grounding, they layer beautifully with bolder pieces.

  • Bold printed fabrics – Our Heritage cushion bundle introduces rich colour and pattern with deep-toned, tactile fabrics.

  • Florals and foliageArtificial green and eggplant hydrangeas, mixed with fig branches, add sculptural shape and depth to the setting.

Thoughtful Details, Relaxed Refinement

“Everything’s been chosen to feel like it belongs—there are classic shapes and antique-inspired details, but nothing too formal or overdone.”
– Michael

What makes the Heritage Collection special is the way it feels styled without being overdone. It’s in the layers—brass accents, bold fabrics, and carefully placed ceramics and florals. The tension between structured furniture and softer decorative elements creates a look that’s both composed and comfortable.

How to Style the Heritage Look at Home

A few ways to introduce the Heritage mood:

  • Pair leather and timber – Try leather dining chairs with a timber bench for contrast and a more relaxed mix.

  • Layer florals and textures – Add depth with bold cushions, ceramics, and arrangements of hydrangeas and fig branches.

  • Lean into subtle colour – Lilac, eggplant, and natural greens soften a neutral base without overpowering.

  • Avoid over-matching – The collection is built on considered contrasts, not perfect symmetry.
