Eight products that come in Pantone colour of the year Greenery
Pantone's just-announced colour of the year is a predictor of what will be big in 2017, but some designs in the hue are already here.
The colour company's pick for next year is a "tangy yellow-green" shade called Greenery – technically, Pantone 15-0343. If 2016 colour of the year rose-quartz is any indication, then we can expect to see a very green 2017.
Variations of the shade have already cropped up in the likes of 3D-knitted chairs by Benjamin Hubert, rocking horses by Thonet and uranium glassware by Martin Jakobsen.
Read on for our top eight Greenery-tinged picks:
Konnekt seating by Roger Persson for Swedese
The Konnekt system by Gothenburg designer Roger Persson comprises poufs in several shades of green, including one similar to Pantone 15-0343.
The variously shaped modules can be mixed and matched together with backrests, tables and planters to create an island of seating.

Cradle chair by Benjamin Hubert's Layer for Moroso
Benjamin Hubert's Cradle chair collection features seat backs made from a stretch mesh created using similar knitting technology to Nike's Flyknit material.
In one of the colour combinations, a teal seat joins a Greenery-like mesh textile backrest, which imitates the feel of leaning back in a hammock.

Roll chair by Patricia Urqiola for Kettal
The Roll chair's back support is formed from padded horizontal strips that look as if they've been wrapped up and attached like roll mats tied to a backpack.
Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola created the chair for outdoor use, so it's fitting it comes in a grassy Greenery-like shade.
Mini Panthella lamp by Verner Panton for Louis Poulsen
Danish lighting manufacturer Louis Poulsen is now producing a mini version of the iconic Panthella lamp by Verner Panton.
The desktop lamps come in a range of bright colours drawn from Panton's work, including this glossy green, straight out of the 1970s.

Gem glassware by Martin Jakobsen
Tumblers in the Gem collection are made from hand-blown uranium glass, which Czech designer Martin Jakobsen had to acquire special permission from the State Office for Nuclear Safety in his home country to produce.
The uranium in the glasses fluoresces under ultraviolet light, producing a bright green glow.

Aquário buffet by the Campana brothers for BD Barcelona
Brazilian duo Humberto and Fernando Campana used coloured glass to fill blob-shaped gaps in this wooden cabinet, creating an impression similar to a fish tank.
The buffet is built from ash or pine wood, with bright green glass allowing views through the furniture.
