Reflect is one of the defining themes shaping colour in commercial interiors, as revealed in the Global Colour Trend Forecast 2019.
Compiled in collaboration with trend expert Anne Marie Commandeur of Stijlinstituut Amsterdam, a leading fashion, textiles and material agency, the Global Colour Trend Forecast looks at how colour will impact commercial spaces in the forthcoming years. Presenting Reflect alongside three other key themes of Play, Primal and Grow; the forecast is now in its fifth edition, available in hardcopy and digital download from antron.eu.
Through an overarching concept of wellness, Anne Marie Commandeur has explored how our senses are stimulated with colours that capture light and how they manipulate the perception of materials and space within interiors. Inspired by digital stories, video games, sci-fi utopias and the opportunities present in virtual reality; a palette dominated by blue and green sees the influence of light on colour, and vice-versa, through macro-themes include flux, ombré, manipulative and linear.
Antron® carpet fibre and Anne Marie reveal that these colours play with the boundaries of the digital and physical, challenging the viewer’s perception. Anne Marie Commandeur comments:
“Reflect stresses the importance of light. It explores how the innovative lighting systems being designed and developed interact with the spaces they inhabit, including the floor. Textiles are ultimately versatile: they can reflect as well as absorb. Through texture as well as pattern, dynamic light can be accentuated as well as dimmed. In this sensory Reflect mood, it is not just the experience of light and the visual senses that are triggered, but also our aural senses. Carpet plays an active role in the experience of sound. Alongside that, interactive and sensory options for creating immersive environments can be explored with dynamic carpet and flooring.”
