Mid-Century Modern

Mustard yellow and burnt sienna shades of untouched territory and au courant create a lively atmosphere while adding sleek texture to wooden finishes. Light turquoise blue and sea foam green tones amplify elusive shapes.

In Harmony

Deep mauve and soft apricot shades of consistent oscillation and balanced equilibrium draw attention to elongated bold lines. Chestnut and dark khaki tones of serene counterbalance and equanimity accentuate suave silhouettes.

HEIMTEXTIL TRENDS 2014/2015: Progress! and Revive!

The 2014/15 trends are structured into two major categories – “Progress!” and “Revive!” Each of which is subdivided into two themes: “Generate Collision!” and “Engineer Nature!”, and “Exalt Purity!” and “Rejuvenate Craft!”, respectively – dealing in detail with the exploration of progress and renewal of textiles in interior design. Trend Courtesy: Heimtextil-Frankfurt (For a complete trend report, please contact Messe Frankfurt-Heimtextil).

PROGRESS!

Look forward | A brave new world in which science and technology are the driving forces behind innovation across the design industry.

Generate Collision: Harness technology to generate uniqueness

Emerging materials and technologies allow replicable unique and personalised results. To accommodate the demand for unique, individualised products, designers increasingly experiment with novel materials and technologies. Computer algorithms and similar technologies facilitate the mass production of customised items because, for example, panels of fabric can be printed digitally without the design having to be repeated. Similarly, playful printing and marking techniques enable uncontrolled artistic expression. Colours are swiped over or drawn, dabbed or splattered on surfaces. Designers experiment with ways to allow production processes to determine the look and texture of the final product.

 

Engineer Nature: Synthesise the natural world for a sustainable future

The convergence of science and the natural world uncovers progressive synthetic solutions for a more sustainable future. New textile techniques intertwine living systems with and biological and texture technologies copied from nature to form novel fabrics. Designers technicise nature by growing their own materials and copying nature’s processes. This innovative approximation of biology to materiality goes hand in hand with new responsibilities; designers also are beginning to rethink the consequences of modifying their former lifestyles. Where the design sector turns biology into a new medium for creativity, scientists leverage the complexity of living systems using technical processes. We are experiencing a design trend that explores the concept of creating natural works using artificial means and which allows itself to be inspired by the interaction of science and design.

REVIVE!

Look back | In the pursuit of more meaningful and authentic experiences we appreciate the importance of learning from the past, rediscovering and reviving the value in tradition.

Exalt Purity: Strip back to reveal purity and integrity

In search of a sense of spirituality natural materials are celebrated in their purist form. As a response to mass production, the interest in objects that have personalities and are accompanied by stories is increasing. In the quest for meaning, this movement honours natural materials by embracing their imperfections and highlighting their origins deliberately. The results are primitive yet modern aesthetics. Wild and coarse nature with its unadulterated colours, textures and shapes acts as the generator of ideas. In this way, designers focus on the humble, the pure, the unadorned.Pristine, untreated materials are used, and resource-saving production processes and the longevity of products define the main criteria. Animism, essentialism, minimalism and reductionism prove to be the decisive trends.

 

Rejuvenate Craft: Revisit tradition to enhance authenticity

Reviving and renewing traditional craft techniques to enhance narrative and meaning to objects. Designers work with recycled materials, conjuring up the concept of an improvised lifestyle as a counterpoint to our technology-dominated society. Uniformity is replaced by the collage look to stage the unexpected and evoke alluring visual tension. Using the language of traditional craft techniques such as embroidery, weaving or knitting, designers tell stories about their lives. The revival of craftsmanship gives rise to a wealth of textures.

Submerged

This story takes inspiration from the natural world living deep beneath the surface of our seas. Focusing on organic, natural constructions, this story explores sub-acquatic plants and creatures, immersed and submerged in a surreal world. Design explores and mimics  delicate constructions, microscopic frills, folds entwining roots and tendrils.
This story explores a mix of glossy and opaque surfaces, raw slate and exposed concrete. Folded neoprene, constructed ruffles and chunky knits imitate the complexity found in aquatic plant structures. Submerged embraces a simplified and stripped back print direction, celebrating a new, fresh minimalistic outlook. Examining textures found in dispersing ink, rough powdery coral, ariel views of marshland and waterscapes is important. Gradiated colour and biological contours combined with flowing organic stripes set a new tone for surface pattern. Courtesy Trend Bible.

Assembled

We’ve been working with clients in interior and product design to interpret the recent  move away from decorative repeat prints. Assembled explores this unfussy decoration in a pure form, capturing a new minimal approach. Decoration is integrated in the basic construction of the product through innovative use of manufacturing techniques. Pared back pattern allows visible evidence of construction and processes, a true appreciation of the object. Multi-purpose and dual function attributes lead product design direction.

Transparent, tinted plastics and polypropylene influence the material directions but have a familiar retro quality. Layering laser cut frills, mixing ceramics and plastic, resin and wood, unexpected placements and compositions work together in a clean, simplistic and considered manner. Clever design celebrates the science of manufacture.  Prints are 1950’s inspired but bring an updated, unusual and abstract quality through patchwork patterns, micro weave structures and irregular, broken stripes. 

Celebrate

This trend is about commemorating and capturing the act of giving. It explores celebrating tradition, religion, culture and age old rituals with a fresh twist. Through the use of social networking and today’s mass communication channels, concepts such as subscription gifts and social vending machines are uniting people and encouraging the act of giving from all over the world.

Taking inspiration from Russian architecture and the Winter Olympics, materials are heavily texture driven. Chunky tapestries, heavily embroidered textiles with raw and rustic finishes. Tassels and beading adding detail and depth sit alongside dark natural and painted wooden finishes. Key print directions take the form of star motifs, imperfect geometrics and updated Baroque florals. Hand printed and painted finishes with spontaneous irregular placements are important. 

Majestic

Majestic sees the subtle return of glamour and luxury. Taking inspiration from the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations this trend is all about decoration, bejewelled and encrusted details complementing vintage, rustic and worn woven textiles. Elegant, faded glamour is captured through mirrored surfaces and rustic dipped effects. Pale lime-washed or grey woods combined with lustre, shimmer and shine, creates this warm yet luxurious winter atmosphere.

Sparkly glitter is sprinkled delicately and sparsely. Engraved and sandblasted, tarnished shine in this frosty predominantly blue winter story. Shiny copper and matt gold adding warmth and depth. Beads and sequins are embroidered onto heavy dark velvet fabric.
