The Beyit Index — Vol. 01

The first issue of The Beyit Index comes out today. It's the quarterly ranking nobody was doing on interiors. That's precisely why we did it.

Why an index

Fashion has had its Lyst Index since 2017. Luxury has its Vogue Business Index. Interiors have nothing. Nobody knows, at any given moment, which pieces, brands or styles are rising or falling in people's actual desire — not in the editors' communication, in the desire.

Beyit sees thousands of scanned interiors every week. We watch what gets saved, what comes back, what disappears. We compile, we date, we make it public. That's The Beyit Index: an editorial barometer, not a SaaS dashboard.

Vol. 01 — the obsession of the quarter

Tubular chrome lighting. Italian chromed pendants from the seventies — Sciolari, Stilnovo, Castiglioni — have seen their prices multiplied by four in eighteen months and their saves multiplied by twelve on Pinterest. Nine contemporary brands (Gubi, &Tradition, Astep, Atelier de Troupe, Apparatus, Lambert & Fils, Articolo, Allied Maker, Roll & Hill) are releasing reissues or direct homages in 2026.

This is the obsession that defines spring 2026. Not bouclé, not travertine, not japandi — polished chrome, smoked blown glass, warm light.

The top 10 brands

1. Gubi ↑↑↑ — the brand pulling the market south (Mediterranean, seventies Italy)
2. Tacchini ↑↑↑ — historic reissues at a luxurious scale
3. Sancal ↑↑↑ — colour returns by way of Spain
4. La DoubleJ Casa NEW — Milan, J.J. Martin, Italian maximalism
5. Cassina ↓ — still major but losing ground to Gubi
6. &Tradition ↑ — solid, riding the chrome rebound
7. Apparatus Studio ↑↑ — brass and feather lighting, New York
8. Pierre Yovanovitch Éditions ↑↑↑ — strong entrance with the 2026 collection
9. B&B Italia = — steady on the Camaleonda but no new buzz
10. Knoll ↓ — penalised by Cesca and Wassily saturation

The top 10 objects

1. Sciolari Sirio chandelier (tubular chrome)
2. Pierre Jeanneret PJ-SI-25-A chair (Chandigarh)
3. Burl wood credenza (all brands)
4. Venini Cardine pleated vase (Murano)
5. Camaleonda sofa (B&B Italia)
6. Akari 1A pendant (Noguchi)
7. Cesca B32 chair (Breuer)
8. Calacatta Viola marble
9. Astier de Villatte plate
10. Berger stool by Charlotte Perriand

What's out

• Cream bouclé — total market saturation, visual effect gone
• Japandi — dead, replaced by Mediterranean Brutalism
• Greige — a colour that no longer says anything
• Quiet luxury — see our 28 May article on its end
• Travertine everywhere — from now on confined to bathrooms

Methodology

The Beyit Index is, for now, editorial — hand-curated from scan data, saves, weak signals and observation of public sales (Wright, Phillips, Christie's Design). As Beyit volume grows, we'll move towards a semi-automatic calculation. The editorial stance is claimed: The Beyit Index is a position, not a dashboard.

Planned cadence: a new issue every quarter. Vol. 02 will come out in August 2026 (Q3). We'll keep the same structure but change the obsession and recalculate the moves versus the previous quarter.
