TREND DIRECTION
Gaia
A tribute to nature and water focusing on blue and green tones. The impact of climate change resulting in a drier, warmer world pushes us towards colours that remind us of our most important resource: water. This drives a desire for these colours’ calming effect and natural presence in our surroundings and daily lives.

TREND DIRECTION
On & Off
We live in a world of utmost contrasts and want to seek refuge in all extremes. Light and dark hues are combined by two chromatic colours that symbolise unity. We strive to express a feeling of connection and hope by bridging our opposites.
To On & Off
TREND DIRECTION
Inner
Today’s divisive, sceptical, and harsh environment makes us turn inward, trusting our instincts and senses. This results in colour choices that evoke emotions of comfort, warmth, and joy. We embrace mid-tones – warm, earthy and human hues that exhibit subtle yet enduring strength.

TREND DIRECTION
Ethereal
Light, fluid colours reflect a liquid state of mind, blurring the line between the digital and physical worlds. We seamlessly blend light and airy aesthetics with technology to create immersive experiences in the multiverse.
