TRENDS<br />

effects, enlarged pixels, facets and geometric ideas in bold<br />

colour combinations prevail and also ideas from Pop Art<br />

and Optical Art show up. Coloured glass products are popular,<br />

often in overlapping colours. Mirrors are treated with<br />

paint or oxidized to evoke an interesting effect. Grading<br />

of colour is still an important feature. Adaptable colour effects<br />

with LED’s give a contemporary feel. We see iridescence<br />

and products that are executed in different colours.<br />

Shapes are rounded and friendly. Knitted materials offer a<br />

lot of new possibilities and are applied in stools and also in<br />

chairs. Furniture should be versatile, and should be easy to<br />

adapt to different situations and changes in lifestyles. We<br />

see speckled and marbled surfaces and accidental designs.<br />

Colours<br />

The colours in this theme consist mainly of bright cheerful<br />

colours, often to be combined with black and white as an<br />

accent, reminiscent of the Pop Art and Op-art period and the<br />

Memphis Movement. As colours we see: Fresh Orange Red,<br />

Bright Pink, Orange, Sunny Yellow, Bright Lime, Cobalt Blue,<br />

Grass Green and Bright Purple. They may also be applied for<br />

outdoor, summery products or as an accent in combination<br />

with the other colour cards. Colour is often applied tone-intone.<br />

Gradients of colour remain important.<br />

Vintage Green<br />

There are two main ingredients that determine this style direction:<br />

Vintage ideas, products that are old and affected,<br />

aged and worn, with an industrial history, are combined<br />

with products that are inspired by Nature. Mainly in different<br />

shades of green, but also the colours of oxidized steel and<br />

affected wood. Botanical ideas from natural history books<br />

with flora and fauna remain important, but they take on a<br />

more historical character. Ideas from colonial times with<br />

palm trees, old engravings, or landscapes are shown as<br />

complete murals, made possible because of digital printing.<br />

Already for quite some time, we see how jungle prints<br />

with large foliage and exotic birds like parrots and parakeets<br />

remain popular. Now they become even more exotic, with<br />

pictures of monkey’s, tigers, lions and other exotic animals,<br />

and show up in different products, not only on textiles, but<br />

also on plates for instance. Also insects, ferns and more<br />

abstract ideas like the weather or oxidation are popular subjects.<br />

There is also interest in Chinoiserie.<br />
