Interior Trends 2010
"Trickery", "Comfort Zone", "Rehab" and "Discipline"
In the year 2010 the design scene will be dominated by
conflicting tendencies : the experimental on the one hand and durability and quality on the other.
"Trickery", "Comfort Zone", "Rehab" and "Discipline" are the most important developments for the interior design sector 2010.
Trickery: False-Bottomed Design
Popular camp is suddenly taking the play with quotations of classic forms, improvisations and illusions very seriously indeed and rejoicing in creative quality as distinct from perfect workmanship .
Trickery counters promises of solidity with a world of appearances, confusion and puzzles.
Comfort Zone: Consoling and Cuddly
Family-minded, harmony-seeking circles, on the other hand, are reflecting on the more robust quality of traditional shapes and patterns from all over the world, on the virtues of the self-made and things that appear to be selfmade.
Rehab: Purism as Self-Therapy
The innovation-minded are seeking the pure quality of the naked, decoration-free form with a single-mindedness so unyielding it almost hurts.
The design world is in withdrawal, pulling back, becoming light and airy, dissolving.
Discipline: A Return to Reason
Discipline preferes the original Bauhaus aesthetics and demands absolute perfection.
It is the new seriousness with which design is being scrutinised for values like sustainability and durability.
