Light + Building will be held in Frankfurt from 3-8 March 2024 and will showcase important products and solutions in the field of light and lighting.
At each show, a trend presentation is made by the trend bureau bora.herke.palmisano. These style experts have identified three relevant trends for 2024/25, which will be highlighted in analyses, lectures and an inspiring Trend Area at the Design Plaza in Hall 3.1.
Light is an elementary component of the built world. It sets visual accents, ideally combines aesthetically with the architecture, and at the same time fulfils functional aspects. Innovative technology enters into an exciting combination with forward-looking design.
The trend bureau has identified three key trends for 2024/25:
Welcome Tomorrow
Welcome Tomorrow combines magical lighting effects, fascinating designs with advanced technologies. The designers and developers ingeniously explore the innovative possibilities and create visionary designs. With stunning visual and illusory effects such as reflections, movement, unreal colour glow as well as sensory lighting effects, they create a hypnotic, supernatural aesthetic. Craftsmanship and sophisticated technologies come together consistently in the trendsetting designs.
Embrace Simplicity
Embrace Simplicity looks at the ever-growing awareness of beneficial designs and quiet arrangements. New design approaches open the view for holistic considerations: sustainable, functional and emotional are the results. Pure, natural, with structural and material sincerity, the authentic luminaire designs and the sustainable material developments are always associated with a story. Here, quality craftsmanship is just as much in focus as natural materials, imaginative experiments with alternative materials, modern manufacturing technologies and an unerring sense for the useful and the emotional.
Create Uniqueness
Create Uniqueness unleashes the special, the “one of a kind”, the incomparable. Here, diverse and special designs with a distinctly unique character come together in an eclectic mix. Striking shapes, expressive surfaces, unconventional designs – the interiors look like a select, curated collection of artistic pieces. The use of very different materials, which come together in unexpected, contrasting combinations, is also eye-catching. The spatial effects are charismatic: vintage appeal combines with clean modernity, craftsmanship with a free-spirited expression. In an inspiring dialogue between industry and craftsmanship, distinctive designs and stimulating compositional ideas emerge.
