Trends in advance of Tendence 2010




Tendence 2010 starts today. It spotlights the latest trends for the coming autumn / winter season and gives an early preview of the spring and summer products for the following year.
Functionality, personality and authenticity are are the the buzzwords for the coming autumn/winter season, whether you’re talking about furniture, home accessories, gift ideas or presents.
The trend Products with personality is not new, but it is expected to become more influential. According to the organizers of Tendence
"The days of “clean chic“ are gone. Products with corners and edges, with personality, which suit a distinct, highly individual style are in demand. The vibrant nature of the furniture is accentuated by a casual, used look, fulfilling consumers’ desire for authenticity. Chairs, sofas, etc., either genuinely have a back story or appear to already show signs of use or interpret tried and trusted forms in a different way. It’s OK for products to look homemade and now even structural components form an integral part of the design instead of being hidden away. For example, instead of concealed cables on lighting they are integrated into the design."

Also, wellbeing-enhancing products will be on-trend for autumn/winter 2011, for everyday life demands a great deal of flexibility from most people. Against this background gifts which help you to relax and switch off are popular. For example the classic hand-warmer muff is now also available to keep your feet warm. Heated neck cushions shaped like giraffes, dogs and cats provide the right cuddle factor on the couch.
