Trend pick: Satisfaction

Trend pick by Francq Colors

What is very striking today is a special attention to the tactility of objects. Tactility has now developed into a lifestyle in itself. The less we are allowed to touch, the more we look for stimuli in our own home and environment.

Surfaces and experiences are mainly 'satisfying', by which we mean as much as the experience 'gives you a good feeling’. It brings mental peace. In interior, Satisfaction translates into the ultimate comfort. Shape and elegance are subordinated to the satisfaction of bodily comfort.

Tactility remains an important factor, whereby we see that there is a lot of experimenting with all kinds of deep-pile fabrics, carpets and increasingly thicker ones fillings. We see how texture is increasingly coming to the fore. Texture is even used to add an extra story, literally an extra layer to design.
