Ambiente trends 2018 : TRADITION MEETS INNOVATION
The interior design trends of the future will be on show at Ambiente from 9 to 13 February .
BY HELLE MATHIESEN
The trend scouts have been filtering the relevant influences in design , art , architecture , fashion and lifestyle . This involves selecting products of Ambiente exhibitors and showcasing them in the form of trend worlds . All research and curatorial work for Ambiente Trends 2018 is handled by bora . herke . palmisano Trend Bureau . As a heading for their trend message , they have chosen the terms “ Fusion , Link and Connection ”. - This is because each of the four thematic areas comprises several and sometimes even seemingly contradictory aspects , says Annetta Palmisano from the bora . herke . palmisano Trend Bureau . - It ’ s increasingly about a quest for wellbeing , meaning and alternative options . The focus will be on everyday things , handmade items , sustainability and being futureproof , she adds . The trend will be specifically reflected in four stylistic directions : Modest Regenerations , Colourful Intentions , Technological Emotions and Opulent Narrations . The design that will be presented has been impacted by numerous influences , ranging from rustic simplicity to hints of Baroque opulence . A brochure with a clear presentation of the research will support Ambiente Trends 2018 , using colour palettes as well as sample products and materials . Retailers will thus receive valuable stimuli for the coming year .

The preferred materials will be wood , stone , concrete , ceramics , bamboo and cast iron – glazed or enameled – as well as linen and wool , in natural colours .
