Based around our desire to explore, a key driver and influencer of consumer trends, Global Trends 2017/18 sees a confident approach as we embrace the latest discoveries that are shaping our future, but what impact will these changes have on design and colour?
All is revealed in Global Trends 2017/18 with Antron® carpet fibre presenting four themes that refocus palettes for 2017/18 around a central concept of exploration. In Aquatic Voyage we explore the unknown capacity of our oceans in strange and surreal material combinations with oceanic blues and greens with dark depths and luminescent accents. The next theme, Infinite Shadow, presents a cool palette of intense contrasts referencing a focus on essential form and core structure.
In Classic Allure, as we look for stability in turbulent times a new form of classicism emerges, atmospheric and luxurious in an elegant and organic palette that is rich and warm. The fourth and final theme is Coded Canvas, where saturated brights, energy and playfulness come to the fore as we embrace the super-digital world of data.
“Collaborating with Colourhive has rewarded us with fascinating insight into the future of colour and how it will impact commercial interiors,” reveals Jo Lea Keppler, marketing communications manager, Antron® carpet fibre. “The research really helps us to work with carpet manufacturers in developing products that respond to key colour influencers ahead.
“For the fourth time running, we are presenting our findings in Global Trends 2017/18 so that interior designers can also access this insight. The four themes can prove invaluable in helping to deliver interiors that capture a new found confidence in colour and its impact on our surroundings.”
