Botanical Modernism: Materials
Botanical Modernism: Materials Botanical Modernism: Materials The positive impact of plants and natural materials on our physical and psychological wellbeing comes together with the stripped-back simplicity and utopic clarity of the digital realm. Designers are inspired to integrate botanical features into our surroundings so that future spaces will nourish our bodies and minds as they evolve and mature.

Minimal interiors and clean, graphic lines are layered with the subtle tactility of botanical flecks and fibres. Wild and unruly natural materials are manipulated into controlled, engineered forms which are tailored to our built environment and products. Raw tactility is brought to surfaces using gestural pattern and machine-made imperfection, and cast materials such as concrete, clay and jesmonite are warmed with pigments and matt finishes that are inviting to touch.

For colour directions relating to this theme, see Botanical Modernism: Colour from our Colour Spectrum S/S 20.

Botanical Modernism: Colour
Botanical Modernism: Colour Botanical Modernism: Colour Botanical Modernism is a contemporary utopian direction that seeks to balance utilitarian design and creativity. The physical and psychological need for tactility, plants and imperfection is brought together with the clarity of digital spaces that we experience in virtual reality and on-screen.

Architectural lines and mathematical structures are brought to life with living colours and materials that grow and evolve, nurturing our mind and body as they mature. Surfaces, textiles and spaces are tempered by biophilic design that conceals the technology helping to streamline our lives.

The core palette of warm Concrete, Ash and mineral Blue Shale provides a bedrock for verdant Green Teal and Reseda Green. Botanical hues are complemented with the earthy, human symbolism of Venetian Red. Fresh floral mid-tones in Yellow Peony and Pink Dahlia provide uplifting accents, while lighter chalky pastels in Ming Green and Rosaline soften and soothe.

For materials directions relating to this theme, see Botanical Modernism: Materials from our Materials Focus 2020.

Evolving Landscapes: Colour
Evolving Landscapes: Colour Evolving Landscapes: Colour Designers are using water as a visual language to highlight the damaging effects of climate change. A clean, modernist theme with a calming aesthetic develops to provide a sense of stability amid these overpowering shifts.

The rarely seen, yet rapidly changing glacial landscapes are being documented and portrayed in unique ways to raise global awareness. New surface treatments and finishes develop, based on the look of melting arctic vistas and nature’s ever-evolving colour gradients.

A cool and watery palette of Delft Blue, Polar Ice and ultra-pale Glacier is complemented by translucent tints of Aqua Green and Pink Sand drawn from the sky. Synthetic Ultramarine provides a vivid accent against True Black and White Cloud, while Pebble softens cold, hard metallic tones of mirror-shine Chrome, Gallium and Slate Lustre.

Providing an antidote to immersive products and experiences that are designed to stimulate our senses, Extreme Sanctuary strips back to the bare essentials and draws on the importance of clarity and uninterrupted expanses.

Layered, faint tones are core to the palette, with White Dust and Ash providing a calming ground. Desaturated pastels Yellow Light and Pale Sky are used in sheer layers to emphasise lightness and space, while decaying environments inspire grown gradients of botanical Cardamom and Tree Bud with striations of corrosive Orange Rust and Fluoro Yellow. These hues are also applied as planes of blocked colour, conjuring a nostalgic, assured feel.
