Ambiente Trends – A Vision For Positive Living

As we look toward the future, how will we live and work in a world marked by uncertainty? What shapes, colours, and materials will define our living spaces and work environments in the years ahead? At Ambiente 2025, the internationally acclaimed trade fair, the Ambiente Trends 25+ will answer these questions with a fresh perspective. Presented from 7 to 11 February 2025 in the Trend Area of Hall 4.1, these trends will showcase innovative designs that embrace deep-rooted craftsmanship, sustainability, and creativity.

The Ambiente Trends 25+, curated by Stilbüro bora.herke.palmisano, draw inspiration from global movements in fashion, art, interiors, and lifestyle. These trends reflect the dynamic changes we’re facing and highlight the growing importance of sustainability and craftsmanship. As we strive to shape a future that is both innovative and mindful, these trends offer a positive outlook on how design can influence change. Annetta Palmisano, co-founder of the agency, shares, “The new trends revolve around intensive designs, joyful ideas, and product developments that question norms. Sustainability, craftsmanship, the circular economy, and new technologies are at the heart of the changes that will win over consumers, retailers, and commercial interior designers.”

Let’s dive into the three core trends—DEEP, REAL, and EASE—that will shape how we live, work, and interact with the spaces around us.

DEEP: Embracing Nature and Tranquility in Home Living

The DEEP trend calls us to reconnect with nature in the most serene and calming ways. Focusing on authenticity and natural elements, this trend celebrates traditional craftsmanship and highlights the connection between water, fire, and earth. Materials such as wood, ceramics, glass, and metal are reimagined in their most authentic forms, with rich, earthy colours like night blue, eggshell ecru, and green tea setting the tone for a peaceful atmosphere. Metallic finishes in matte silver, dark bronze, and light gold add a subtle touch of elegance, creating spaces that invite tranquillity and a deeper connection to the environment.

REAL: Sustainability at the Forefront of Design

REAL is all about simplicity, sustainability, and functionality. This trend is characterised by designs that are both innovative and responsible, with an emphasis on ecological impact and material longevity. 3D printing technologies play a role here, perfecting surfaces and introducing new materials that are both functional and sustainable. Recycled materials like aluminium, wood, and glass are used alongside innovative glazes and composite materials, demonstrating how waste can be transformed into valuable resources. The colour palette is rich yet understated, featuring shades like biscuit, deep bottle green, caramel, and aluminium grey. REAL offers a timeless aesthetic that challenges the traditional ways we think about materiality and production, while pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in sustainable design.

EASE: The Joyful, Creative Future of Textiles and Fabrics

In EASE, we find lightness, joy, and boundless creativity. This trend is driven by innovative uses of fabric and yarn, with new 3D knitting techniques and creative textile experiments bringing surprising textures and surfaces into the spotlight. Here, unexpected combinations of glass, paper, and ceramics encourage tactile exploration and playful design. The colour palette for EASE ranges from bright, energetic tones like plum, orange, and lemon to softer hues like sky blue, denim, and sea green. Textiles play a key role, with embroidery, floating threads, and patchwork offering new expressions of craftsmanship and digital design. EASE brings joy and inspiration into the home, making every space a dynamic playground of creativity.

Colour Stories and Design Possibilities

Each trend in the Ambiente Trends 25+ features nine core colours, with eight micro colour themes that allow for endless reinterpretation. These curated colour stories provide designers and buyers with the flexibility to create varied and dynamic displays throughout the year. Whether for product presentations, showroom displays, or commercial interiors, these colour palettes are designed to adapt and evolve, offering new ways to captivate and inspire.
