Our design journey never ends because design never stops evolving. We continue to create decors with a strong commercial edge as a result of the restless pursuit of what’s happening now and next. That certainly means eagle-eyed monitoring of forecasts and maintaining dialogues with the industry, to fully understand where markets are moving. But just as importantly, we make our own physical journeys around the world. We take in expos and seminars on every continent, and talk to designers everywhere about their own inspirations and observations. These on-the-ground collaborations include paper manufacturers as well.
Trends 20/21 City Vibes
To truly understand the design world’s constant shifts, you must take input from far and wide. That’s what underpins a collection like City Vibes. Simply taking the name of Moscow, Barcelona, Milan or Warsaw is not enough; the true spirit of a city, its culture and people must also be explored. So wherever it takes us, our journey has the surprises, twists and turns that echo the nature of global design itself. The key is then to listen to our customers and design partners to hone in on the exact looks they know will work in their markets. The inspiration may be wide and diverse, but the resulting selections are always highly focused on maximum commercial potential.
Kronodesign®
Ultimately you get the best of both worlds in a collection like City Vibes – new and different decors which fit with both changing tastes and pure business reality.

Inspiring Barcelona A city of art and imagination A vibrant Mediterranean port city with astonishing cultural wealth is a rich seam of creative inspiration by definition. Barcelona is just that, with it’s Catalan color, gaudiness, civil strife, art and passion. We’ve witnessed sleek steel textures, woodgrain raised by the sun, vivid ceramic tones and cool cathedral marbles – Barcelona’s palette revels in the visual, whether the thrust is ultra-modern or mannered classicism.

Inspiring Barcelona Trends Combinations Vibrancy is the keyword. Grange Oaks deliver expressive grained textures in characterful plank forms. Grey Atlantic Marble evokes a sense of urban chic in any interior. Barcelona’s confluence of the classic and the contemporary is expressed in the worn texture of Concrete Flow and Charcoal Flow. Light is softly caught and tones are subdued for an urban take on the metro theme.

Contemporary Moscow A city living in the now For many, Moscow is the epitome of a city living in the now. A huge population results in a place of widely varied cultures and life patterns. It’s an intense dynamo of a city, full of confidence and scale. History is abundant, but Muscovites have their eyes focused on the future. Concrete vies with ultra-modern finishes and forms, winter blasted timber shows its fibre, and uber-chic surfaces of new malls gleam – Moscow’s contrasts of tone and texture are plentiful and astonishing. This is a vibe capable of amazing mood variations.

Contemporary Moscow Trends Combinations The current move toward interiors exuding rich texture and color in harmony is a natural application for decors such as Honey and Brandy Castello Oaks. Castello Oaks combine woodgrain and color in perfect proportions. The stand out effect of Rusty Flow and its metallic finish pairs beautifully with lighter shades. Add a dash of Cream Navona to hint at the life-at-the-top chic that Moscow depicts so enthusiastically. K357 PW Greige Castello Oak
