Just a quick post on the trend inspiration material posted by Maison et Object Observatoire for 2014, and which will be presented in the upcoming trafedair venue (6-10th September 2013).

It has been presented under the theme “ENERGIES“:

“The time has come to recharge our batteries. Where design is concerned, we shouldn’t save our energies. Quite the reverse. We are encouraging use when circulating good vibrations. Driving forces are revving up in order to foresee the bubbling changes underway and to stimulate the high-voltage dynamic of desire. Positive, optimism-inducing waves are electrifying the established order. This is a beneficent motion that is freeing our imaginations, reinvigorating unexpected aesthetics and activating alternative currents.”

 

It is layed out in 3 trend themes, Illuminations, Funtasy and Psychotropia:

 

ILLUMINATIONS. By Elizabeth Leriche.

“The Energy of Lights. 
An era plunged into darkness is seeking rays of light. Somewhere between a halo and dazzlement, a sensory experience that is as entertaining as it is disturbing has come to light our spaces and minds. Shadows and light are captivating our gaze and modifying our perception. Nebulous, dreamy and hypnotic, techno-magic is electrifying a sense of wonder. The new age of Enlightenment is activating dizziness, pulsations and strong vibrations.”

 

 

 

 

 

FUNTASY. By Vincent Grégoire (NELLYRODI).

“The Energy of Fantasy
Style is thumbing its nose and the dogma of seriousness. A cunning maximalism is making life happier. Disrespectful mash-ups, quirky subversions, provocative collages and chaotic combinations are mixing up the codes of neoclassical culture and digital pop culture. Chic and striking, the new iconoclastic bling style is going all in for boldness. On the entertainment menu: Humor, derision and quirkiness.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

PSYCHOTROPIA. By François Bernard.

“The Energy of the Imagination
Its brain bubbling over, design is exploring the fields of invisible forces in which the spiritual and the strange converge. A psychedelic reverie is soaring beyond the real and leading us into other dimensions. As the mind wanders, a narco-poetry is discovering the mystery of things hidden and sacred. References to Surrealism, esotericism and art brut are initiating us into the shamanic art of parallel worlds.”
