This work titled Vintage shows the enchanting expression of classic curves silhouetted against modern lines. Vintage introduces the seductive way to occupy space.
the perfect addition to any one of iscd's Interior Styling storyboards for the modern, bold interior.
Over two hundred and fifty trend hunters descended on the International School of Colour and Design to listen to three fascinating presentations at their annual trend event – Future Flight. Below are some social snaps from the event.
A strong black and white geometric theme is appearing, we think as a contrast and reaction to the delicate, illustrative patterns that have heralded the decorative style that replaced minimalism a number of years ago. However it is a combination of vivid hues and neutrals that give the Geometrix style its contemporary look. Strong, bold lines and shapes are appearing on packaging, fabrics, furniture and building facades. A happy trend that will gain momentum in the younger markets.
Optimism and a mood of celebration is reflected in the Vivid Trend. Bright clear colours give a surprising lift to the built environment in particular, but throughout the design world, a vivid rainbow is predicted. This is partly as a reaction to a recent neutral period when white, grey and reduced colours dominated and partly a desire for economic recovery and a happier world. Shiny surfaces and glossy fabrics reflect this mood as does the increased use of lighting and transparent colour.
A new and different theme that is well overdue is our Galactic Palette. The new Space Age is upon us with sharp design features and an unusual range of colours from warm grey to blush pinks in textures as diverse as shiny metals and lush velvets. Sculptural forms in lighting and home wares, repetitive modular shapes and shimmering surfaces will give a futuristic mood to interiors and fashion in particular, but across the design world, the space age is here.Each year iscd hosts an industry trend event to release their observations on what colours and design styles will mould and shape our homes in the future. If this years predictions are anything to go by, we can expect an African influence to our homewares, sculptural futuristic forms in lighting, strong bold geometric styles to our buildings and the resurgence of water and sky colours and shapes.
iscd do not have a crystal ball! As trend observers we see our role as one of provoking you as designers to think about what we have found and what we see around us and for you to then use these ideas in your work as you see fit। Individuality and creativity are essential to new design, so the last thing we want is for designers to be slaves to fashion – just inspired by it!
Greenscape is more than a range of green hues। It is a natural palette। Greenscape includes concepts around growth or new sprouts, new ideas and social issues. Areas such as sustainability, recycling and environmental care in design have now been fully integrated into our way of life and are here to stay. So the future will be more about maintaining this awareness and enhancing the ways we protect the world and our resources. In terms of colour design, Greenscape is about a green mood, a feeling for freshness, vitality and growth and evoking natural textures in a variety of ways. It does not mean using bright grassy greens, but working with subtle colours from this palette as shown in this fabric range released at Premiere Vision that incorporates a soft grey green and mustard citrus. It is unusual to find green as a dominant colour in exterior design, but on this fascinating building, a range of yellow greens are embedded within metallic sculptural forms giving an exciting appearance.
Freshwater offers a clean, new palette of cool colours that range from denim to lilac. A refreshing change, this theme represents both water and sky elements in our third natural palette. But as well as offering a new blueness, freshwater also integrates design elements of ripples, curls, waves and woven threads into fashion, fabric and graphics. Combined with white, these blues work well with previously neutral interior environments and continue to enhance the French Provincial and Hamptons Whitewash styles.
Another natural palette, Earthenware offers a strong textured range of colours evoking warmth and safety in a rich palette across all areas of design। Burgundy, terracotta, aubergine, chocolate and mauve are appearing in decorating fabrics, fashion and product design. From a sociological point of view the earth colours give a grounded, nurturing mood. Design elements included in this trend are a wide range of textures, use of natural materials and an emphasis on recycled products. An African style is evident in new textiles, fashion and home wares and Retro design is alive and well, particularly in graphics and furniture.
The three reactive palettes will be released shortly। For more information on these trends please contact iscd through creativity@iscd.edu.au

Twilight is the state where neither light nor darkness prevails. It is the frontier that divides the day between dark and light. The inspiration for the 2009 collection of floor designs from Bolon comes from the world of magic, and the colours are reminiscent of dusk. This inspires iscd!
Twilight by Bolon is a collection of shimmering woven metallic floors that come in three different qualities with different colours and structures. 
The sawdust (taken from different kinds of woods) is pressed with resin into a mold that already contains all of the object parts, there is huge opportunity when exploring new ways of integration between the legs of the furniture and the sawdust through expansion of the joints. This, and the way the sawdust crumbles toward the edges, creates a new material esthetics to a once destined to be waste material.
Yoav also gives us a little “Deconstruction” with some process photos.
Any budding iscd Interior Styling students, keep your eyes out for these on the commercial market!
