Designs of the Time, a Belgian company founded in 1998 by the Puylaert family, creates interior textiles that celebrate the beauty of imperfection. Their passion for natural materials and casual, untreated aesthetics defines their approach, resulting in fabrics that feel effortlessly refined. With a deep commitment to craftsmanship, authenticity, and thoughtful design, their work embodies a quiet luxury that brings warmth and character to any space. Each collection reflects their dedication to creating textiles that feel both timeless and inviting.

Drawing inspiration from the untouched landscape of an isolated island and the art of sculpture—designs of the time’s new fabric collection 'Ausarta' celebrates the dialogue between craftsmanship, nature and the home. The materials skilfully play with light and shadow through textured linen blends that catch the breeze and create ever–changing patterns. The colour palette is reminiscent of sandstone, wood, clay and steel sculptures, with a harmonious blend of earthy neutrals and vibrant hues. Each piece combines bold, avant–garde design with authentic craftsmanship.
