Ambiente Frankfurt 2023: a sneak peek at this year’s trends

The Ambiente Frankfurt trade fair taking place from February 3rd to 7th will once again be an important occasion to discover the latest releases from the vast sector of consumer goods.

Moreover, in addition to the wide array of products, there will be a special Trend Area where the exhibitors and visitors will be able to discover and get inspired by the latest trends in home design.

Ambiente Frankfurt’s Trend Area

To discover the 2023 trends selected by Ambiente Frankfurt in person you will need to wait for the trade fair to open on February 3rd and immediately go to the Trend area in Hall 4.1. In this space you will be able to see the trendy products and inspirations chosen by the bora.herke.palmisano studio.

Fortunately, however, we have already taken a look at the trends to give you a sneak peek. Here’s what we found out.

Three trends for three inspirations

Trends 23+ at Ambiente Frankfurt is an exclusive look at the three interior (and, less so, exterior) spaces designed to stimulate creativity and offer new perspectives. The themes and ideas at the basis of the trends are both a synthesis of years gone by and an anticipation of the future: reflections on sustainability, the related research into materials, as well as new aesthetic solutions and the development of artisanal craftsmanship, and obviously digital innovation.

These inspirations have generated three moodboards which represent just as many selections of furniture and décor products, each with its own color palette. Each trend starts from a suggestion, an emotion, or a feeling which is evidenced in their names: unknown beauty_strange + gracious, calming nature_careful + pleasant, lasting ideas_passionate + evocative. Let’s take a look up close together!

Unknown beauty

Ambiente Frankfurt 2023’s first trend is called “unknown beauty_strange + gracious”.

New and surprising experiences are the creative inspiration behind this trend, which highlights mysterious, odd, and graceful beauty.

The most familiar of spaces becomes a non-conventional place where cooler and neutral tones are paired with intense and eccentric colors. Take note of the rainbow hues and glossy effect because we are sure to find it in next year’s styles!

The forms are extravagant, almost alien, but also full of a particular kind of grace. Plus, the blurred distinction of what is digital and real, artisanal and technological, plays a role in this style. Is it a real table or was it created by artificial intelligence in the metaverse?

The power of calming nature

The second trend is “calming nature_careful + pleasant”. The organic forms and natural tones put us back in contact with nature and have a soothing effect.

From the domestic to the office space, everything takes up a biophilic and, obviously, ecological approach. The key elements in this trend are recycled and recovered materials which become new unrefined materials.

Plants, natural stones, and metals make up this mood’s color palette, which stretches from cool and reflecting tones to the warmth of clay.

Moreover, Annetta Palmisano, from the bora.herke.palmisano studio which selected the trends, tells us how organic and circular design will be with us for many years to come and we’ll have to see how it will be reinterpreted.

Classic design fit for today

The third and last trend which will be at Ambiente Frankfurt 2023 is “lasting ideas_passionate + evocative”. The idea here is that the icons of design, thanks to their ability to last a long time, can find new collocations and uses in the latest lifestyles and home design.

The icons are long-lasting and flexible projects which are capable of evoking emotions and new functions. This is design which is able to adapt to the times, despite remaining unchanged in its forms. So, long live modular systems and multifunctional furniture!

The materials of this trend are varied, as long as they last a long time, while the colors cover a vast and intense palette. From petrol blue to orange red, purple, and pink, the strength of this style also lies in its courageous use of brighter tones.
