COLOR OPINIONS - Color and trend designer interview

Trade fairs and art exhibitions are also important sources of inspiration, which we use in our work. As color designers, color is obviously always at the heart of our work. It accompanies us through the process of developing color and design concepts, all the way to the creation of trend collections and spheres. The beauty of color design lies in the variety of tasks and our exploration of other sectors.

What was special about the development of the COLOR OPINIONS Trend Collection and working with OBJECT CARPET?

Applying colors and trends to flooring is an exciting job. The floor is an important, striking tool in interior design. Not all colors will work as part of this process and aspects such as safety, comfort and color symbolism also need to be taken into account. It was particularly challenging to match the right quality of fabric to the right color. The gloss level, structure and floor height play a key role here. Only if all these factors come together harmoniously will the end result be on-trend. 

The OBJECT CARPET team were a joy to work with, and incredibly helpful – our slightly more free approach to our work complemented OBJECT CARPET‘s expertise perfectly. Over a number of adjustment steps, product samples were jointly viewed, compared and sorted until we found the perfect result. We have created new, innovative color tones, which will be the ideal addition to the color spectrum of OBJECT CARPET‘s high-quality products. The unique aim of this collaboration was to create a collection that reflects current trends and developments in flooring and interior design. Each trend concept has its own individual story and color combination, and encompasses individual interior atmospheres that encourage concentration or creativity.

We can only interpret the present by looking at the past, in order to then project this knowledge onto the future. Trend scouting takes a trained eye and plenty of experience.
