Trend Flash™ Ambiente 2014

February 10, 2014 By Trend Staff -

Michelle Lamb, Editorial Director for The Trend Curve, is in Frankfurt for the annual Ambiente trade fair. Her top trends are below:

 

COLOR

  • Pastel values came on strong
  • The same was true for browns
  • Pinks had much more play
  • The best of declining oranges had rusted and coral-influenced personalities
  • Green continued to build, with warmer hues emerging
  • Blues favored turquoise and aqua
  • Gray persisted, yet it did not feel new

 
TEXTURES AND MATERIALS

  • Rustic/earthy/pitted finishes advanced
  • Frosted techniques on glass began a quiet return
  • Terracotta was worth watching
  • Brass challenged copper for dominance in metals
  • Concrete was on a tear
  • Corks advanced in a big way

 
MOTIFS AND THEMES

  • Leaves overpowered everything for newness
  • Still, there were plenty of geometrics and flowers
  • City landscapes came in interesting interpretations
  • Illustrated looks offered a delicate incoming approach
  • Baroque shapes and patterns had early emerging status
  • It’s back to the 70’s—again
