3. CROSSOVER CREATIVITY<br />
In this styling direction “Crossover Creativity” we notice that the attention for<br />
hand crafted products has grown. One-of-a-kind products, preferably with imperfections,<br />
wabi sabi, are valued and add character and personality to an interior.<br />
It also tells the story of the resident. Traditional techniques are appreciated<br />
such as ikat, shibori, tie & dye, kilims etc. We see new interpretations of these<br />
century-old techniques, for instance in unexpected combinations or different<br />
applications. Natural materials are in demand, such as wood, cork and bamboo,<br />
raffia, rattan, terra cotta, linen, hemp etc. We love the irregularities that show in<br />
the application of the materials, the unevenness and unpredictability, caused by<br />
chance. The expressions of different cultures with their local materials, skills and<br />
knowledge are blended into a highly personal interior, with a bohemian character.<br />
Especially the handwork from Morocco and in general from Africa shows<br />
in carpets, textiles, wicker work and ceramics to name a few. As in other styling<br />
directions textures are appreciated here too. Handmade cushions show embroideries,<br />
fringes, tassels and are hand tufted. Products from recycled materials or<br />
other conscious sources, will gain importance. We see sometimes archaic and<br />
primitive shapes. We also see tribal products such as masks.
