"In a 'previous life', I was working with natural fibers to devise artefacts using technqiues of paper-making an such, to show the process of structuring, aging and evolving of matter, and the emotional effect the remnants of these processes can have on the viewer/observer.
The first thing that stood out for me in the REGENERATION trend book is the fact that it featured several inspisring products using algae or bacteria to generate structure or patterns, functions or atmosphere for the human environment. That touched something dear to me, which is the various ways we can subtly bring more nature to people. I can now see how this trend really helps anchor a different aethetic.
Furthermore, this trend book helped me shift to a more layered way of envisioning the 'biophillic' trend, from something exlusively related to ecological matters, to something that goes way beyond the mind in how deep it can affect us, and this is tactility. I found out how tactility allows for a higher, more encompassing and more qualitative aesthetic to the designed objects and environments. That aspect definitely allowed me to conceptually bridge my early experiments with fibers with what I can include now in more integrated designs.
I recommend the REGENERATION trend book to any designer who wants to understand how to reconcile various sensibilitires into one coherent and multilayered framework that would help drive their creative and innovative spirit in bolder directions.
"I had always understood when discussing trends, we would basically refer to aesthetic issues, and now I realize I couldn't be wronger. Gudy and the Eclectic Trends team show how trends originate from concerns, values, needs, and desires, and are intimately related to our society.
And REGENERATION is just another valuable resource.
Her trend reports made me reflect on our way of being in the world and opened the doors to understand what I can offer through my brand being in line with our current times."
