The key theme for materials and colours in summer 2021 is Simplification. As the world around us is more volatile and unpredictable, we need clarity of materials & colours in products and branding to signal their messages and meanings. Three contrasting directions for materials & colours cover different approaches how to interpret them:
- In Action is a strong and bold palette – using block of primary colours (reds, yellow, blues)
- Off-Fluo consists of romantic pastel colours – using washed out neon shades
- Supernature is a warm, retro inspired palette – using natural hues of browns, blues and greens with spicy okra and orange
