Today we will tell you what fabrics and whathome decor will be especially relevant in 2015. Our report is about the Heimtextil exhibition, which is a trendsetter in the field of textiles and home decor
International specialized exhibitionhome textiles Heimtextil 2015 was held in Frankfurt am Main from January 14 to 17 this year. Traditionally, all the world's leading manufacturers brought their new products here, and a team of authoritative Heimtextil designers defined the main trends that will become "Ariadne's thread" for the largest manufacturers of home textiles and designers involved in the design of residential and public spaces. This year, the general theme that defined the main trends was Experience (experience, knowledge)
In total, experts identified four keydirections united by the passionate desire of designers to make the life around them luxurious, but at the same time maximally functional: Sensory (sensuality), Mixology (intercultural exchange), Discovery (discovery) and Memory (memory). Let's see how all this looks in practice. So... 1. Sensory (sensuality) p.
Each of us perceives the world throughsenses, thanks to them our world is full of colors, aromas, sounds and all sorts of sensations. Therefore, every time, creating something new, designers strive to influence our senses. Correctly selected colors and smells, pleasant to the touch things, gentle sounds - all this contributes to the creation of home comfort. The use of innovative technologies allows designers to push the boundaries of the possible, and fabrics are born that can adapt to the environment, for example, react to changes in the intensity of light or heat. Such sensitive materials give rise to a huge variety of tactile sensations, awaken the most pleasant feelings. Thus, the Eijffinger company presented wallpaper with a modern geometric pattern made of light-reflecting material. And the Création Baumann company made a complex fabric, inside which the thinnest wires are woven and the smallest LEDs are built in, which, when turned on, resemble a twinkling starry sky.
As for the main colors of the fashion trend, these are azure and white. They bring peace and tranquility, joy and virginal purity.
To achieve a sensual contrast, designerssuggest combining fabrics with smooth surfaces and a lacquer effect with paper-like surfaces with an oiled effect. In the new collection of the Italian company Decobel, an important place is occupied by three-dimensional velvet fabrics that you just want to touch. 2. Mixology (intercultural exchange) p.
There is power in diversity, say designers andboldly mix different cultural heritages. African tribal patterns with flashy 3D prints, retro with futurism, digital technology with organics, geometric patterns with floral images, smooth prints with textured fabrics, and many more bright colors. All this, when combined, forms unexpected, mind-blowing combinations. A striking example is the bedspreads and bed linen from Kas Australia, decorated with colorful ethnic patterns. Japanese manufacturer Tecido presented wallpaper, in which ethnic patterns are organically combined with modern ones, and traditional materials with innovative ones.
The leading role is still given toenvironmental theme. Much attention is paid to both the issues of organizing environmentally friendly production and waste recycling. New uses are found for recycled materials. And the Christian Fischbacher company has been particularly successful in this, presenting fabrics from the Benu collection at the exhibition, made from recycled polyethylene bottles! 3. Discovery (discovery) p.
You should always think about the future, they saydesigners are immersed in the study of our planet, turning their gaze to distant space to find answers to burning questions: how can we use the resources of our planet in the future, how does the virtual world affect the world of materials and aesthetics?
The trend is based on a dark palette of endless space, absorbing light but at the same time bringing the glow of stars: black, silver and purple.
The designs and textures are borrowed from moonstones andmeteorites that captivate with their power, unusual appearance and tactile properties. Light plays a special role here: it blinds and illuminates, creates pictures and gives birth to optical illusions.
There are also artificial upholstery materialsHornschuch with virtual seams that look like real ones, and the light is reflected from the metallized surfaces. The French company Elitis has proposed wall coverings made of fibers laid on a non-woven base and changing their appearance depending on the intensity of the light. This gives the covering a shine with a metallic shade. It seems to you that you are looking at a sheet of metal, monochromatic, but at the same time intricate. Particularly striking is the covering with an imitation of corrugated metal, covered, for example, with engraving or embossing in a golden, bronze, tin, carmine or copper shade. 4. Memory (memory) p.
Designers make us think,rethink values, live a cleaner and more correct life. The key to harmony is moving away from the ideology of consumption and returning to what is truly valuable. Hence the familiar images and simple drawings from childhood, natural shades (the color of sea water, sage leaves, delicate rose petals) and materials (wool, linen, denim), which can help return to the roots. The things and materials that surround us should be comfortable and simple. Designers skillfully combine craft art with innovative technologies. And in this unity new values are born.
Following this trend, Rasch introducedwallpaper decorated with intricate flowers and patterns that imitate hand painting. The Christian Fischbacher collection features bed linen with delicate floral motifs inspired by the idyllic paintings of the Old Masters. www.heimtextil.messefrankfurt.com, www.eijffinger.com, www.creationbaumann.com, www.clarke-clarke.co.uk, www.kobe.eu, www.fischbacher.com, www.decobel.it, www.elitis.fr,
