Schattdecor Trends 15/16 – Interzum 2015

As the company celebrated its 30th year at Interzum, Schattdecor released its trend forecast for 2015/2016 as well as 10 new colours in its Smartfoil EVO range.

In releasing its trends for 2015/2016, Schattdecor has identified “a deep longing for authenticity and self-realisation” where consumers are able to select products that are a true expression of their personality.

Casual Black has a focus on quality of furnishings to create a self-evident, laid-back look which reflects a casual style and makes the most of the moodiness of black tones. Sombre hues create a welcoming and mellow atmosphere with this look that sees accessories in warm metallic tones enlivening living spaces.

Cultural Spirit places its focus on the decorative aspects of cultural artefacts from various sources to create a feeling of individuality and personality. Small details attract attention and emphasise the eclectic flair of the theme. Textiles are an important element.

Freestyle Clarity creates order, providing space for individual creative styling. Black and white hues form the backdrop with pine, oak and beech in pale shades introducing a reserved touch of nature. Walls are equally restrained in colour and tend towards greys or smoky pastels. Interiors are enlivened with black and white graphic patterns, and darkly-veined marble provides accentuation.

Smartfoil EVO “gets closer to nature” with a veneer-like look that shows off gloss/matte effects within the pattern. The new foils feature highly improved surface resistances, making them an ideal solution for all types of furniture surface. Developed in a German-Polish project at the Schattdecor plant in Tarnowo Podgórne, Poland, Smartfoil EVO incorporates a novel way of EBH lacquer coating.

A collection of Smartfoil EVO decors involving walnut, beech and oak in ten different colourways were showcased on the Schattdecor stand at Interzum.
