Compiled by INVISTA Antron® carpet fibre in collaboration with trend expert Anne Marie Commandeur of Stijlinstituut Amsterdam, the Antron Global Colour Trend Forecast delivers fascinating insight into the colours and themes shaping commercial interiors through 2020.
Now in its fifth edition, the Antron Global Colour Trend Forecast 2019/2020 maps how colour will impact commercial space through four key themes; Play, Primal, Reflect and Grow. Each theme explores how colour influences our state of wellness and helps people to feel happy and comfortable in their workplace.
“The workplace is where we pick up on emotionally driven trends that tap into the need for creativity and interactivity through entertaining and dynamic design,” explains Anne Marie Commandeur.
With happy shades that are bold and vibrant, the Play theme uses colour to spice-up environments and to create pattern by colour blocking. In contrast, Primal focuses on our need to retreat and relax in subdued natural shades. With Reflect, senses are stimulated with shades that capture light and suggest luminescence. Finally, Glow focuses on our desire to be closer to nature.
24 of the colours presented in the Antron Global Colour Trend Forecast are available in Antron® LumenaTM carpet fibre. Providing carpets with permanent, fade-free, stain-resistant colour through a solution-dyed multi-hollow yarn, the rich and vivid colours of Antron® LumenaTM carpet fibre perform faultlessly in busy commercial spaces. From the Fuschia of Play to the Sakura of Primal, the gold of Reflect and the Atlantis of Grow; Antron® LumenaTM carpet fibre delivers on the latest trend-driven palettes.
Anne Marie Commandeur continues: “We realise there is a tendency for flooring to be seen as a functional surface that should concern itself with durability and easy maintenance. That said, people care for colour and design, along with a healthy and safe environment and carpet extends its role to providing those benefits. Carpet is the basis of a space; it can be a carrier to which interior decoration can be added and it can also make a trend statement.”
A useful tool for carpet manufacturers and interior designers looking to ensure the products and spaces they design are ready for the future; the Antron Global Colour Trend Forecast is available for download from the Antron website at antron.eu. Presenting the themes of Play, Primal, Reflect and Grow, the document not only presents the palettes but also reveals the wide-range of influences impacting colour in commercial spaces - from sophisticated ombre effects through to biophilic explorations of natural materials.
