In 2025 contrast two striking interior trends: the raw, honest look of new brutalism and the fluid, futuristic feel of liquid modernism. Where one focuses on solid materials and pure forms, the other plays with reflections, lightness and illusion. DEBA Meubelen brings both worlds together in a balanced and inspiring collection.
As a rebellion against the flawless aesthetics of Instagram, brutalism is making its way back into the visual landscape of 2025. The movement has gone through a slight transformation and is now mostly referred to as new brutalism, where the original style takes on a more sustainable and softer path. Opposing those robust shapes and heavy materials are flowing lines and light-filled reflections under the name liquid modernism. Like yin and yang, these two styles take turns shaping today’s interiors. Since all good things in life are about balance, DEBA Meubelen has incorporated elements of both styles into its collection.
New brutalism: raw and robust with a refined edge
New brutalism draws on the honest, pure and unfiltered. Concrete, stone, raw textures and massive shapes take the lead. Think industrial tables, angular cabinets and furniture without frills. What you see is what you get, with a bold nod to the 1950s to 1970s. Furniture in a brutalist, minimalist jacket is perfect for those who like to keep both feet on the ground (preferably on a polished concrete floor).
Liquid modernism: neon, glass and floating vibes
On the other end of the style spectrum floats liquid modernism. This interior trend balances between virtual and visual, real and illusion. Let yourself be carried away by transparent plexiglass chairs, mirrors that reflect daylight, and furniture that seems straight out of a futuristic video game. Soft neon accents and airy, reflective materials turn your home into a dreamy, colorful retreat.
