The Ambiente 2025 trade fair is getting ready to unveil the up-and-coming styles with Trends25+: three innovative visions which reflect the design world’s response to the changes and challenges of modern society.
Conceived by the studio bora.herke.palmisano, these trends emerged from the observation of global dynamics in the fashion, art, interior design, and lifestyle sectors. Each theme—Deep, Real, and Ease—provides a unique way of interpreting the relationship between living spaces and identity, offering solutions which combine sustainability, aesthetics, and functionality.
“The new trends revolve around intensive designs, joyful ideas and product developments that question norms and allow us to see the familiar from a new perspective. Craftsmanship, sustainability, the circular economy and innovative technologies are major design drivers that will win over consumers, retailers and commercial interior designers,” Annetta Palmisano
Trends25+: the visions redesigning the future of design
The Trends25+ lead us to the next frontiers of design, where aesthetics, sustainability, and innovation work together to respond to the needs of an evolving society. Check out the trends from the 2024 edition.
Deep, Real and Ease are not mere trends, but genuine visions to turn our spaces into authentic and meaningful life experiences. It is a must-see event for those looking to discover innovative ideas and inspirations which are ahead of the curve.
Deep: a dive into nature and tranquility
Deep explores the connection between design and nature, inviting us to rediscover the beauty of genuine materials and traditional craftsmanship. Elements like wood, ceramic, glass, and metal take on earth-inspired tones like night blue, eggshell ecru, or green tea.
This trend aims at creating warm and relaxing atmospheres which are perfect for a peaceful domestic life. The design draws inspiration from natural elements—water, fire, and earth—and provides a modern take on them. Metallic nuances such as bronze or light gold add a touch of light, while traditional craftsmanship becomes central to providing a new aesthetic of well-being.
Real: authenticity and sustainability at the heart of design
Real focuses on that which is essential and lasting, honing a minimalist yet innovative design. Materials like recycled wood, glass, aluminum, and ceramic become objects which fuse aesthetics and functionality thanks to technologies like 3D printing.
This trend reflects a growing awareness of sustainability, integrating ethical production processes and the use of recycled materials. The colors include biscuit, deep bottle green, caramel, and glassy mint, creating natural palettes which exalt simplicity and authenticity. Real invites us to reconsider design as a tool which leads us towards a more conscientious and responsible way of consuming.
Ease: lightness, color, and creativity without end
Ease celebrates joie de vivre and creativity, transforming textiles and yarns into the highlights of the design. This trend experiments with embroidery, patchwork, and 3D knitting techniques, combining crafts with digital design possibilities.
To evoke a sense of lightness and vitality, Ease’s palettes range from bright tones such as bright orange and lemon to softer nuances such as sky blue and sea green. The materials—paper, glass, and ceramic—are reinterpreted to create surprising textures, offering a sensory experience that leads us to discover the unexpected. Ease is a celebration of design which surprises and inspires.
