ConceptTrevira CS Bauhaus Lounge

Interiors & Styling, Trevira CS Interiors

P aying tribute to this year’s 100 anniversary of Bauhaus, SoFarSoNear has developed a concept for multinational company Trevira, focusing on Trevira CS flameretardant textiles. Back in 1919, Walter Gropius founded a new art school in Weimar, Germany. What he created was revolutionary at the time – he combined art and craftsmanship, a concept which was until then unheard of. Creativity and manufacturing was united, art and industrial design was brought together in the mid-1920s and eventually this all led to the development of modern art, influencing architects, designers and artist in Europe and in the United States of America alike. The Trevira CS qualities on display in the Trevira CS Bauhaus Lounge demonstrate nicely the variety of...

Mood,Protective

Protective

In a world marked by demographic and technological transformations, this trend channels a desire for a noiseless, empty neutral space. There‘s an increasing need for individuality, safety and a sense of well-being. The house becomes a nest, that isolates and protect us. The colours are soft and subtle with nuances that reminds us of haze and dusk. Maroon and a saturated pink give warmth to a rather cool palette. Material and finishes are translucid, opaque, diaphanous, providing a calm and relaxed environment.

Solitude and silence are the ultimate luxury.

Mood,Exuberant

by admin

Exuberant

In a world that feels ever more threatening, a little diversion and distraction is attractive indeed. Movement, improvisation, surprise. This trend is expressed creatively in experimental approaches to materials, colours, products and styles. In terms of design, it is joyful and informal, sometimes extravagant. The colour palette features vibrant yellow, fuchsia and emerald green combined with faded black and sand to give a dramatic effect. Materials and finishes are visually exciting. No more soft and subtle, but glossy and iridiscent. The house is exuberant, hedonistic and reflects the importance of living in the moment.

The message delivered by the exuberant mood is: Visual impact is all.

Mindful

In a world marked by pollution, environmental disasters and where the ecosystem is in danger due to our irresponsible behaviour, this trend reflects a desire to protect and preserve the environment for the greater good. The house is sustainable, eco and balanced; mindful and modest. In this context it‘s not only innovative approaches to recycling that play a role, but also a hand-made artisanal look, which expresses a respect for traditional craftsmanship and manufacture. The colours are soft and warm. Natural colours inspired by earth and greenery, harmonising with anthracite, sky blue and a lighteer accent of rose. Material and finishes comes from nature, like wood, raw and natural. Textiles are characterized by surfaces of vital and natural...
