A lifestyle experience in a sacred atmosphere. Surroundings that challenge what’s established and shed new light on the familiar. Living we can simply enjoy.
The Ambiente Trends 25+ are three surprising, self-contained answers to the question of how we want to live and work in today’s challenging times.
LOCATION: Hall 4.1 Foyer
DEEP
We long like never before for our very own refuge. DEEP taps into this longing and bonds us strongly with our surroundings. Peace and contemplation radiate throughout all areas of living and working. We’re in the best place and feel spellbound. Authentic colours, impressive craftwork and materials processed with respect form a profound environment full of warmth and sublime calm.

REAL
The desire to fashion a more sustainable world is everywhere. REAL embodies the belief that design can drive positive change. This can be expressed in an essential, minimalist or a more avant-garde way. Intelligent design opens up unexpected perspectives on the worthwhile, functional products that surround us every day. All our senses will be readjusted. We’ll get to reconnect with our surroundings and look to the future with confidence.

EASE
Our greatest hope for the future lies in creativity. Designers enable us to unearth fabrics, materials and craft techniques in an unprecedented variety of colours and shapes. This openness in design excites our curiosity and keeps us wide awake. Almost anything is possible with good ideas, a positive mindset and the freedom to experiment. EASE gives us what we want just now: a place full of light and joy that leaves us feeling lively and in need of a surprise.

Stilbüro bora.herke.palmisano
The experts from Stilbüro bora.herke.palmisano travel the whole world on the trail of influential developments and trends that will determine the ways and places we live and work this year. Design is closely intertwined with moods and needs that are now being expressed. Personal meetings with fellow creatives and visits to studios, workshops and production sites have formed the basis for Stilbüro bora.herke.palmisano’s precise analysis, which they have shaped into the three independent Ambiente Trends 25+. They have paid further, in-depth attention to the previous year’s observations and tendencies while also incorporating new discoveries from existing lifestyle worlds. Aspects such as sustainability and the circular economy flow quite naturally into all areas of new design. The three trends are united by a conviction that good design and creativity can contribute positively to tackling our current challenges.
