Trend Flash™ – Ambiente 2017

February 13, 2017 By Trend Staff -

Trend Flash is one of many exclusive benefits for Members of The Trend Curve’s subscriber family. Michelle Lamb, Editorial Director, is in Frankfurt for this annual consumer-goods trade fair. Her top trends are below. You can read more about Ambiente in the next issue of The Trend Curve, and follow @trendcurve on Twitter (here) and Instagram (here) for additional updates.

Notable in Frankfurt:

COLOR

  • Greens enjoyed a huge following
  • So did pink and blue, often used together
  • Aqua showed up with regularity
  • Petrol, peacock and marine types tipped blues toward warmth
  • Plum emerged as a fashion statement
  • Brown had so many roles

TEXTURES AND MATERIALS

  • Matte finishes leaped ahead
  • Pearl and metalized glass took off
  • Reactive-glaze techniques returned to their obvious roots
  • Relief pushed texture to an extreme
  • Two-tone effects were building
  • Slate textures informed both stone and porcelain

ICONS AND PATTERNS

  • Speckles showed up everywhere
  • Along with spots and splatters, they felt organic
  • Softened geometry offered a counterpoint to declining facets
  • References to outer space returned
  • Butterflies and bugs ramped up
  • Making everything easier was a recurring theme
