TREND 2015-2016
Sensual softness
The use of intelligent textiles with built-in responsive technologies that, for example, react to changes in the source of light. Inspiration also comes from the beauty and wellness industry.Super-sensory fabrics draw on the huge variety of tactile effects that excite our senses: light, feminine and transparent. As a sensory contrast, fabrics with polished surfaces or varnish-like lustre and uniformity are used together with paper surfaces and oily finishes.
Mixed Cultures
Patterns, prints and colours collide almost chaotically with each other. African tribal design meets 3D rave motifs, retro with futuristic, digital with organic. At the same time, people are enthusiastic about recycling and product hacking. New applications are found for waste materials with due consideration being given to material properties.The result is valuable design objects and – no less important – the feeling of independence from conformity of any kind.
Explosive Textures
Designers are taking ever greater account of our planet’s valuable resources.They look over the shoulder of astrophysicists and investigate the properties of lunar rock and meteorites, the haptic qualities and dark strength of which are particularly fascinating.Observing the cosmos and the micro-cosmos, they come across dark, light-absorbent space black and stellar coruscation.Light plays a key role in this connection: it dazzles and illuminates, it sketches and plays tricks with the eye.
Gathering the past
People strive for a simpler, purer and more ethically correct way of modern life: away from consumption stress and rigid must-haves – towards favourites and a genuine feeling of well-being.The materials that decorate life together in the home will be honest, useful fabrics, e.g., denim, wool and linen. Familiar patterns stimulate the capacity for recall.Tomorrow’s designers will combinehandicrafts and tradition with an innovative sense for modernity whereby their software abilities are an additional benefit. Thus, handicrafts and technology can join forces to create new, timeless values.
