Colours, forms, materials
Anything goes - as long as it is fun
When it comes to colours there is no uniform trend. Some colour trends from previous years remain fashionable or are overlapped by new, growing trends.
Corresponding to the furniture industry, strong black and white contrasts are dominating as thematic reflections of the 1980s. They either create a strong, graphic effect or can have an opulent and romantic effect, when used as a baroque pattern.
The colour red, which is particularly popular with designers, is often used on white porcelain as a colour contrast.
Natural and earthy colours such as brown, ochre and sand correspond with African ethno elements.
Another trend goes to shining, bright colours. Radiating, warm greens are often used in this area. A wide range from colourful, shining combinations to neon colours is used to accentuate otherwise white products.
The forms: organic in contrast to geometrical
Contrasts dominate the field of forms. Round, bellied forms which are reminiscent of calabashes and often have a décor featuring ethno elements take up a narrative language of forms and stand in contrast to simple, graphic forms.
The materials: high-quality and individual
More and more products have a high-quality looking surface. In the field of earthy, narrative products, traditional crafting techniques are particularly emphasised. Surfaces with a natural, individual look are used here in particular.
When it comes to prime function and exclusivity the preferred material is mainly stainless steel, because stainless steel is still seen as the material for high-quality products. Apart from its extraordinary range of qualities, stainless steel has an excellent plasticity as well as special solidity. Thus automatic coffee machines have become almost sculptures by using stainless steel.
