Trends 2008 - Autumn / Winter
Green Global
Well-off consumers are leading the trend with organic products, fair trade and sustainability as a natural part of their ideas when the menu is to be planned, the house decorated and living arranged.
We move nature into our home. Plants and other natural materials will become an important part of a good indoor climate and so will a colour range in warm, soft shades and neutral effects. All of it served as a cocktail of ethnic and folklore elements.

Nordic Heritage
In Nordic Heritage, we find the exact opposite of the bright, light Scandinavian design tradition. A melancholic, almost sinister atmosphere which is also beautiful and aesthetic. A puritan atmosphere reflecting the dark seasons that fill so much in the Nordic calendar.
The expression is soft, slightly cool, but the cold is experienced from within – from a warm, cosy living-room where aesthetic furniture contrasts provocatively with modern art and graphic decorations. The interior design is staged and light and shadow are carefully planned parts of the interior scenography with sculptural plants casting spiritual, fabulous shadows in the room.
