The desire for trustworthy interior design

"Imagine holding a braided basket in your hands and almost have the feeling of how the natural material has being processed and afterwards braided by skilful artisans. Form pictures in your head of the women working on the baskets from their homes while taking care of their family" - This is the feeling of trustworthy design!

Why trust?

Through a time where political instability is a reality and causes uncertainty in our society, trust has never been a more relevant topic than it is now. Both the trust we show towards each other as individuals, but also the trust we as people have towards brands and the society in general. Typically, when we talk about trust, it is the trust of cohesion between individuals, but because of that uncertainty the society fills us with, this season we will seek for this feeling of trust in brands and interior products as well.

Interior design will in 2019 reflect trust and embrace honest design, which we as humans can relate to. We want designs to tell us a unique story of why, how, where and by whom it is created. The market for interior products is huge and exists within many different design and quality parameters. Due to the huge supply of interior products, products have to be more than just exclusive design and nice to have. We as consumers have become more curious about designs from a personal perspective and we want to show our personality when decorating our homes. We value the unique story about the products and we want to be able to relate to it before buying it.

"Trust in humans & good craftsmanship"

The love for handmade products is still essential for us when shopping interior products for our home. Due to the digitalization and busy everyday life to many, we are longing for trustworthy design and design with a unique story. We love products with small imperfections because it shows that it is unique products due to the hands behind. Products with imperfections are beautiful and we emphasize storytelling products high. Not just the general superficial story. We want to know everything about the products to the smallest details. We want to know about how each little pearl is sewn on the cushion, how each bamboo cane is worked within the manufacturing process. It is important to us, that we can relate to the products and that we are able to create an inner picture of where the products come from and who is behind it.

2. Emotions reflected in interior design with love for the beauty of nature

In this design theme, we find trust in the beauty of nature. Along with the analogue longing and the longing for basic values in our lives, we are increasingly finding trust in nature and emphasizing sustainability high – also when decorating our homes. The recognizable in the natural surroundings create a feeling of trust and credibility to us as humans.

We are inspired by the structures, textures, surfaces, colour nuances and shapes, all reflected by nature. When thinking, creating and developing designs, we imagine walking in the wood, hearing the sounds as we step through the forest floor, feeling the warmth of the sun shining through the trees, see the play of colours and nuances in the leaves, and putting all these impressions into unique design objects. Emotions and impressions reflected in design are what it’s all about.

Our home is our private oasis, where peace of mind and trust are essential. In design, we have an increased focus on using our senses and get our tactile sense stimulated. The tactile sense can be described as "the sense of touch", and makes us use our senses to consider products, instead of only using our eyes when holding it. The tactile sense makes us curious and gives us the urge to discover the small imperfection and the structures, by using all our senses.

Today we are all very aware of sustainability and it is an expectation for us as humans, that everyone makes an effort for sustainability. We are all fully aware that none of us can be 100% sustainable, but it is important for us to make a difference where we can and pay tribute to the beauty of nature.
