TREND WATCH
Inspired By Nature
Influenced by our developing interest in sustainability, this trend seeks innovative ways to incorporate the true beauty of natural materials into the modern interior.
Mainly focused in the textiles sector but not scarce amongst furniture and accessories - textures, patterns and colours derived from nature inspired striking interpretations. Soft shapes and abstract patterns created visually appealing textures amongst the installations and product launches.
Colour PaletteLargely made up of earthy, leafy tones with accents of purples and blue that bring the palette together.
Outside In
Some took the term ‘bringing the outside in’ quite literally at this year's CDW - blurring the boundaries and truly transforming spaces.
This bold immersion aims to break down the barriers between the contrasting worlds in which we live. The mix of convention juxtaposed against the bright leafy greens and spring pinks bring an ethereal and intriguing feel to the interior workplace. This trend brings biophilic design to the forefront of the interior landscape and makes for an inspired year of interiors ahead.
Colour PaletteLargely made up of vibrant greens and pinks acompanied by muted khaki’s
Scandi-Pastels
Taking influence from contemporary Scandinavian designers and the minimalist art movement - products in this trend focus on functionality and find their beauty in simplistic design.
The use of a relatively muted colour scheme further accentuates the modest silhouettes designed to create a calming meeting space - popular in Scandinavian interiors and ever more sought after in the British workplace.
Colour PaletteSoft pastels are complimented by pinks, yellows and rich blues.
Copper
Moving away from polished chromes we saw a strong move in favour of warmer toned metals such as copper, brass and gold.
Once confined to beneath the floorboards, copper has had a real revival as a metal to be shown off and admired. Fused into detailed works or whole statement pieces, designers are finding exciting new ways to work this traditional material into a modern interior.
Colour PaletteThe full spectrum of glistening warm metals framed against monochromes for maximum impact.
Tech Takeover
Colour PaletteCharcoal hues, white light and iridescent secandaries.
This trend exploits a new vision of technology – presenting a glimpse of what’s to come in terms of how it will further shape our culture and our industry. New technological advances were showcased and introduced to the wider market and inspire new products and innovations aesthetically as well as functionally.
Benjamin Hubert’s 3D printed wheelchair showcases how technology can be used to create products designed for the individual. Virtual reality also played its part at Clerkenwell this year - set to be a strong visual tool for the industry, VR has the potential to be developed for immersive customer presentations and could even transform the way we design spaces and products in the first place.
To The Point
This trend combines structure and precision with a mix of colour and style.
Futuristic, origami shapes invoke the characteristics of postmodern architecture, made even more prominent with the use of vibrant colours throughout many of the designs on display. The new focus on cleaner, more graphic schemes has been happily received by the interiors industry and is set to make a space for itself in the future of workplace design.
Colour PaletteWith the focus on geometric shape colours used are often contrasting. Cobalt blues and chalky pinks were most prominant.
Culture Jam
This trend adapts traditional techniques, iconic designs and lavish materials to breathe new life into classic designs from a bygone era.
Detailed works highlight love for the craft creating unique pieces of furniture that demand appreciation. Inspirations are drawn from the rich tapestry of design history. From 18th century industrial materials, to the more refined wood and upholstery works reminiscent of the 50-60’s ‘Mad Men’ era. This mix of rich culture and craft makes for luxe modern interiors with a nod to the elegance of the past.
