“TODAY WE HAVE WOOD REPRODUCTIONS WHICH LOOK LIKE A ROUGH PLANK. THIS MAKES A SUCCESSFUL COMBINATION OF THE GREATEST POSSIBLE NATURAL NESS AND OUR INDUSTRIAL HIGHTECH PRODUCT.” a successful combination of the greatest possible naturalness and our industrial high-tech product. With homing, we are referring preferably to woods which are native to this country. oak, beech and ash will therefore become interesting again. these woods give the appearance of having been sanded and oiled. if we take this one step further, there could even be signs of use to be seen. as a result, these surface textures become even more authentic, and can tell a story. For us as décor designers, this means that we deliberately give our products the suggestion of a patina. in addition to the woods, we are also here talking about rust, verdigris, terracotta, porous earthenware or honed metal. Is there another theme? there is. i call it at the moment ‘Eco-survival’. a theme which we know from the leisure area. this is also related to terms such as outdoors, functionality, lifetime guarantee, unisex. in this case the requirement is to forego luxury from the purely appearance point of view, while at the same time paying a lot of money for a high level of technology, functionality and durability. We are currently seeing this for example in the area of upholstered furniture, where high-tech materials are suddenly appearing which we have previously known only from the rucksack. the colours are naturally dominated by muddy and olive tones. But it would be too easy to mention just these colours. these are augmented by bright or contrast colours. if i look at a catalogue for outdoor fashions today, i also see them in combination with light blue, pink, mulberry or violet. and this is how it will also be for interiors. For the textures, this means that high-gloss must be resilient, as in the case of topX, or the surface must be anti-bacterial, as in the case of microplus ® . 58 _ HPL World The trends are therefore becoming significantly more divergent. Do customers still have the necessary orientation? all these themes have one thing in common: People are returning to essentials. Everything we create and produce here at duropal has high value and, above all, continuity. the key words here are deceleration and sustainability. When we talk about our laptop or our iPhone, we know exactly how short-lived and ephemeral these things are. if we then suddenly find ourselves standing in front of a solid table with a duropal top, then this exerts a great attraction for us. there’s weight, there’s volume. these are properties which are far removed from today’s throw- away society. this also embodies our return to traditional values. and it is here that we find the necessary orientation. Must a designer be able to look into the future in order to spot trends? it is not so much a matter of the future. For us, it is the challenge of recognising the present. this must be identified and compared with the past. this is how trend monitoring works. to put it another way: We must filter out of the present everything new which will have an effect on the future, and will therefore remain valid for many years. in the interior design area, we are also subject to completely different cycles than for example with shorter-lived fashion trends. When we come up with the idea for a new product, it can take a year of planning, development and production, before the customer actually has the innovation in his hands. it is therefore all the more important that the trend is just as long-lived as our product.
“FOR US, IT IS THE CHALLENGE OF RECOGNISING THE PRESENT.” Finally, let us return to the key word ‘hybrid’: what does it mean for styling? Will gold suddenly return in austere styles, while muddy tones are set amongst intricate flourishes? at the moment we have two developments which provide an answer to that question. Firstly, ornamentation is for us no longer an expletive. it now forms its own justification once more. this means that we decorate the object. the ornament is used as decoration. the other point of view is that we have very modern furniture, which, although functional and CrEatiVitY expansive in their design language, are provided in a colour scheme which corresponds more to traditional values. in this way, gold, for example, has become much more popular in modern design language.
