Spotlight Ambiente
This year, three definitive movements have emerged in the realm of design. They are three surprising, self-contained answers to the question of how we want to live and work in today’s challenging times.
Titled “Deep”, “Real” and “Ease”, these three independent Ambiente Trends 25+ are united by a conviction that good design and creativity can contribute positively to tackling our current challenges.
Here, the experts from Stilbüro bora.herke.palmisano explain these three trends in more detail.
Deep
“We long like never before for our very own refuge. DEEP taps into this longing and bonds us strongly with our surroundings. Peace and contemplation radiate throughout all areas of living and working. We’re in the best place and feel spellbound. Authentic colours, impressive craftwork and materials processed with respect form a profound environment full of warmth and sublime calm.”
Real
“The desire to fashion a more sustainable world is everywhere. REAL embodies the belief that design can drive positive change. This can be expressed in an essential, minimalist or a more avant-garde way. Intelligent design opens up unexpected perspectives on the worthwhile, functional products that surround us every day. All our senses will be readjusted. We’ll get to reconnect with our surroundings and look to the future with confidence.”
Ease
“Our greatest hope for the future lies in creativity. Designers enable us to unearth fabrics, materials and craft techniques in an unprecedented variety of colours and shapes. This openness in design excites our curiosity and keeps us wide awake. Almost anything is possible with good ideas, a positive mindset and the freedom to experiment. EASE gives us what we want just now: a place full of light and joy that leaves us feeling lively and in need of a surprise.”
