Gudy Herder shares Interior Design & Lifestyle Trends on international trade shows, design events and online conferences.
Her keynotes illustrate socio-cultural references, underlying consumer behavior, and patterns that lead to new directions.
Any maker needs to be in tune with what the market looks for today; including a fair understanding of consumer behavior.
In this lecture, the audience learns how four directions shape the new role of the Maker.
How does our new Agile Life look like? How do designers and end consumers reposed to it?
How has our idea of Well-being shifted inside and outside our homes?
Why and how has Nature become a symbol?
Urbanization, Well-being, and Sustainability are three Macro Trends in constant evolution.
In this talk, Gudy explains the future core messages of each pillar and how to translate these into an intriguing selection of new materials that will be available in the room to see and touch.
Potato stark, crushed stone, carpet waste, repurposed ocean plastics, reindeer moss, or pineapple leaves start playing a roll in residential and public spaces.

We had Gudy as a guest speaker at the G+J Living Innovation Day – an event for advertising clients and media agencies working with magazines like Schöner Wohnen, Ideat, and our digital platforms.
The feedback we received was overwhelming.
The design and furniture business in Germany tends to be a bit conservative, so Gudy’s insights into the future of design was highly inspiring.
