Mocha Mousse, Pantone’s Delectable Color of the Year

Custom Upholstered Bed — The way to a good design’s heart is through our stomachs.
At least that’s what Pantone is telling us again this year. After 12 months of summery fresh Peach Fuzz, we’re now moving into the luscious warmth of Mocha Mousse, Pantone’s 2025 Color of the Year.

Rich, loamy tones have been underpinning our color world for much of the current decade, and with good reason. Our being grounded in and of the earth bears an obvious relationship to the physical and emotional needs of our 2020s culture. With Mocha Mousse, Pantone has enriched and deepened that relationship with a color that reflects both the quiet joy of a ritual daily coffee as well as the luxuriously silky reward of a meal-concluding chocolate.

As if they read our minds (or we theirs), you’ll find the chocolate kiss of Mocha Mousse throughout the Bassett product line. That’s largely because we already understand that brown, by its many names, is a sophisticated yet earthy foundation for modern décor.

Image without a name — Flavorful living is not for the dining table alone. But it can certainly be served up on one customized in a range of coffee-shaded features. Or enjoyed while relaxing on dining and accent chairs draped in fabric and leather that echo the harmonious comfort and connection of cacao and coffee beans.
And let’s not forget about the inherent indulgence communicated by a color likened to mousse, long an epicurean symbol of sweet luxury. The smooth hand of cognac-colored aniline leather, the sheen of truffle-finished oak, the umami-depth of mushroom, honey, and chestnut-hued upholstery fabric can all be found on the Bassett menu to help you claim your serving of Mocha Mousse elegance.

For us, the most exciting thing about Pantone’s Color of the Year is how it highlights what Bassett does best for you – help you find the sweet spot for savoring life’s home-is-where-the-heart-is pleasures. Pantone’s choice to highlight a color so well represented in our products is further assurance to you that our design focus is on solid ground and that we understand your modern lifestyle. For 2025, and for years to come, your home can be exactly what you want it to be – well-styled and ready to be well-worn. It’s much like your morning coffee ritual – when the small things in life are perfect, the big things in life go down easier.

In 2025, a spoonful of sugar has just become a spoonful of Mocha Mousse.
