Kind und Jugend 2014

As our clients prepare for Kind & Jugend 2014, we're reflecting on last year's show, sharing the emerging trends as spotted at the show and published in our Kind & Jugend 2013 Report.
'Acid Pop' was one of the most noticeable trends at the show in 2013, with the use of bold colour evident in baby transport, bedding, feeding products and furniture. From canary yellow to near-chlorophyl lime, acid yellows were everywhere, making this one of the most used unisex colours at the show. Used as a fine line of piping on bedding or a whole stroller/pushchair, there were plenty of examples of how to use this striking colour.

What Home Means to Me - Helen Jamieson
|
| |
 |
| |
In the first in our series of blog posts exploring 'What Home Means', Interior Designer Helen Jamieson shares her personal account of the concept of home, along with photographs that provide a snapshot into her life.
"My home is ‘my world’, a space in which I can create a feeling, a look, a mood that reflects me and my journey - objects I like, gifts from friends, old things and new things. It’s the adult version of my wendy house. I know it’s right when friends visit and say ‘it’s so you’." - Helen Jamieson.

Seasonal Preview - Autumn Winter 2014/15
|
| |
 |
| |
Originally published back in 2012, we're sharing our forecast for the coming season giving those who work much closer to the season an opportunity to get a clear picture of what to expect.
Our Renaissance story (pictured above) takes reference from classical paintings, yet with a starkly modern approach. Shape and textures are abstract and driven by a minimalist aesthetic direction.
"There is a shrouded, masculine, serious nature to this story that means it’s steeped in intrigue and mystery. Graphic frameworks are created from wrought iron and steel, while colour application is unusual and abstract" - Trend Bible Home & Interiors Autumn Winter 2014/15 Book

Autumn Fair 2014
|
| |
 |
| |
| At this year's Autumn Fair, our Home Trends Editor, Anri Hamilton gave an insightful seminar on how retailers can build longevity into their core ranges. Whilst it’s important to understand what changes, we believe it's equally important to analyse what stays the same, from householder attitudes and behaviours through to colour and design trends. This seminar aimed to help buyers and product developers plan core ranges and refresh established trends that continue to have commercial significance. |
