Trend service Colour Road: Shaping atmospheres and identities with colours
Colours are much more than just visual design elements. They are the key to creating atmospheres, emotions and identities. In interior design, they influence our perception, our well-being, and our quality of life. Every colour has its own personality and effect that can transform rooms. And thus, the way we feel in them. The Colour Road trend service supports interior architects, designers and manufacturers of furniture, doors, wall panels and caravans in using colour not only to create eye-catching accents. But also to send the right messages.
Colour Road 25/26: The Value of Deep Experiences
Our world is becoming increasingly digital, faster and more virtual. We communicate, buy and explore via screens - now more than ever. However, sensing, feeling and perceiving our environment cannot be replaced by virtual experiences.
The variety of sensory impressions is essential for our existence. Real and physical experiences remain irreplaceable. The satisfaction we feel when we create something with our own hands is deeply rooted in our human nature.
Colour Road 25/26 celebrates these simple, direct experiences that ground us and help us better understand ourselves in a complex world.
The current Colour Road illuminates the longing for something tangible and real in a time when everything seems to be constantly available - and just a few clicks away.
Trend Stories: Colour palettes with substance
Trend stories are essential building blocks of the annual Colour Road. They are stories within a story - self-contained and yet interlinked. Each one describes a palette of four colours. And creates a unique link between the nature of colours and the human sensations they evoke.
