TREND IDENTITY W
elcome to the Contemporary Capsule, the exclusive edited collection for Autumn Fair 2015.
The selections you will find here have been themed around WGSN trends. Many of the elements mentioned are not restricted to one section – consequently, the tangible sense of interconnectivity between the themes becomes a trend in itself. There is a fascination with symmetry and geometric in current design, with inspiration being drawn from ancient and rediscovered art and symbols. The re-cycling and re-purposing of existing material is also a prevalent theme, as objects that have fulfilled their use in one guise are offered a new lease of life in another role.

Softer textures are also a key trend, with smoother, tactile surfaces creating more welcoming environments in the home. Cushions and blankets cover reclaimed wood; lights soften brickwork; furniture is padded for a more welcoming ambience. Strong colours make a bold statement with solid blocks, edges and lines creating a contrast alongside duotone graphic prints. The use of primary colours can be applied in many areas from furnishings to children’s toys and seasonal decor also embraces flecks of bright colour alongside the more traditional tones. Nature is a perennial source of inspiration for designers, and these upcoming trends see inventive use of animal aspects and outlines.
Anthropomorphic creatures give a quirky characteristic to whatever they adorn. There is a light-hearted spirit about many of these themes. There are bright and witty designs, ones that require a double take, and others that lift the spirit. Above all, they put the concept of ‘fun’ in functional.
