Trend Spotting 2011 Colors and Textiles

Handmade Spark

In my previous post I discussed Messe Frankfurt's trend predictions for 2011/2012 and the first part of their trend theme, Sobriety. The second part of the Sobriety theme is called Serenity.

The Serenity trend characteristic makes it clear that consumers are re-evaluating their lifestyle and are looking for products to build emotional attachment with.

New School reinterprets the classic design of the 1950s, while Classic Modernity reflects a style, which symbolises honesty, quality and consistency, evoking nostalgia and authenticity.

Minimal Luxury satisfies the need for pure, clean, simple designs and symbolises a charming, timeless look.

These characteristics can be seen exhibited in the following Etsy artisans.
