Strong graphic expressions and vintage references await you today. You will see a lot of contrasting colors, shapes and textures. Last year we picked up a very interesting color forecast from Fashion Snoops for you and have demonstrated how important it is to take various disciplines into account when it comes to interior design. This post has quickly become one of the most seen to date. Since that shows you interest, this time we would present another trend translation and  concentrate on a Fashion Graphic Forecast for 2017/18 and again, show references from the interior world.

You probably have noticed the retro elements right away: the 1960’s and 70’s have strongly paved the way for all kinds of bronze, orange, red and yellow hues in interiors and COMPLEX GEOS is picking it up, with a slight hint of blue. It is not without a cause that the interplay of colors and the altering sizes is pointed out, because this is the exact differentiation of what makes this trending contemporary look so different from the vintage look of the 60’s and 70’s.

The altering sizes of the color fields determine the sharp edges of the newly designed interiors and separate them from the round shape of furnishings from the past.

It is not only the bronze colors that play an important role here, please notice the addition of the strong contrasting use of white and black (image above). It is only through it’s intensifying characteristics, that make this graphic look complete.

But there is also one thing the past and the future have in common: the unusual combination of color and the extensive usage of graphics set an intentional focus on the decorative characteristics and add a witty and lighthearted approach to decoration.
