Mocha Mousse 17-1230, named color of the year by Pantone, is an evocative and soft shade of brown, a tone that inspires comfort and tenderness, that can almost bring the taste of chocolate and its aroma in our homes, while we imagine sitting comfortably on the couch and enjoying a slice of cake and a good cup of coffee.

“For Pantone Color of the Year 2025, we look to a mellow brown hue whose inherent richness and sensorial and comforting warmth extends further into our desire for comfort, and the indulgence of simple pleasures that we can gift and share with others”, confirms Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute.

Speaking of interior design, this hue can easily become a tool for creating warm, cozy, comfortable environments dedicated to relax and well-being. And this is where Antolini®’s proposals fit in: between the 90 natural stones for which the company holds exclusive rights to the best materials and quarries around the world, there are also perfect shades of brown useful to create a Mocha Mousse color-defined interior.

Three are the natural stones best suited for the purpose: Brèche Fantastique Beige, Brown Chocolate Quarzite, Cristallo Glacé.
