The right vase can give your bouquet a wonderful platform. Vases are vastly popular, with expressive shapes and patterns, and solid stripes to bright colours and strange designs. Our trendwatchers spotted lots of gorgeous vases at popular design fairs all over Europe, so we decided to make a list of our favourites to inspire you for the coming year. Let’s take a look!
A new year brings new dreams and new goals, and this time they’re rooted in the power and fine arts of ancient Greece. Plants become sculptures, leaves forming unique shapes even the best craftsmen can’t make by hand. Nature, like art, is to be marveled at. Make room and wonder.
Drama, glamour, and luxury with a touch of extravagance. The colours are intensely saturated and the flowers bold, hinting at a baroque period of times past set in a contemporary state of mind.
As the weather turns, the mysteries of the forests reveal themselves. Get inspired by the fairy tale colours of autumn and the poetry of falling leaves.
Nature, and with it its invaluable treasures, is a huge inspiration for just about every industry these days. The warm, earthy hues, calm and pure colour palette, rough materials and imperfect textures can be found in fashion and interior trends, as well as architecture and the art world.
We see them everywhere on Instagram these days: smudge sticks! Of course, this trend goes way back, to a time far before the digital trend bubble. Smudge sticks are bundles of dried flowers and spices, and find their roots in Native American traditions. During the smudging ceremony, the bundle is lit and the resulting smoke is said to cleanse and purify spaces, objects and people, getting rid of any negative energies. The positive effects of smudging are well-known amongst many indigenous cultures.
Let's bring colour to the city with a fresh dose of bright flowers and plants.
Can you smell those first signs of spring? Blooming flowers, warm sunshine, freshly cut grass; it’s the natural world that beckons us outdoors. We want to venture outside, work in our garden, surrounded by plants and flowers with that fresh spring look, to feel like we’re part of it all.
There’s a lot of romance to be found in nature, if you know where to look. The calm and harmonious elements of a field of flowers, quiet woodlands or breezy meadows are the inspiration behind the patterns of motifs of this style, which also draws from folklore and ancient handicraft and craftsmanship.
