A range of new trends from Impress were previewed at the company’s stand at this year’s Interzum, held in Cologne in May. The four new trend “worlds” were developed from themes that reflect current trends and transferred them into a modern interior design setting.
The new trends from Impress are described as “I’m inspired by Sensual Simplicity“, “I’m inspired by Urban Spirit“, “I’m inspired by Pure Nature“ and “I’m inspired by Bohemian Lifestyle“ and are the result of the professional scouting from the company’s internal design team at a global level.
The sources of inspiration were the diversity of cultures and lifestyles, the special spirit of big cities, the places in the world where nature is still in its original state and the simple things of the daily life, giving those special moments of reflection and sensory perception. Impress has used this inspiration to transform trends into authentic decors for modern interior design.
Woods influenced by the Scandinavian design in white or greyish tones, neutral colours and soft pastel shades correspond with calm, sometimes textile and minimalistic structures. Being part of the trend world “I’m inspired by Sensual Simplicity” they create calm places of retreat which help to find inner balance.
However, the colour world from “I’m inspired by Urban Spirit“ is designed to create a cosmopolitan look combining deep black or grey colours together with dark blue, green and petrol, as well as matte and natural three dimensional-surfaces. Appropriately the fantasy decors of this trend world are seen in black and grey, with the woods created in grey, dark or reddish brown to reflect the “Urban Spirit” in interior design.
The longing for proximity to unspoiled nature transforms into “I’m inspired by Pure Nature” – the biggest and most stable trend which cannot be fixed on one culture. Here, woods appear in green, brown and beige tones. The natural oak is still at the top of the bestseller lists complemented by a tone of subdued grey oak and a dark brown version. Marble celebrates its comeback in all colours.
The easy-going and playfully light appearing mixture of the design elements distinguishes the style of “I’m inspired by Bohemian Lifestyle”. Here, old and new, expensive and affordable, different materials and the aesthetics of different cultures come together. Saffron and gold, orange and violet, red and olive green, indigo and denim blue, copper and rust – the colour palette has no limits. In addition, ethnic motives in new graphic interpretations and in rediscovered earthy colours appear.
Impress has collated its four trend worlds into a new brochure “I’m Trend 2017/2018”. In this brochure, the 22 furniture decors are shown at a scale of 1:2, the eleven flooring decors at a scale of 1:5 in the final application. To achieve an overall impression, each decor is presented with an application picture in order to demonstrate its full impact in the interior design context. Photo collages and impressions of living spaces in the according style place the viewer in the special mood which is characteristic for each trend world.
