This week’s moodboard is a breath of fresh air. The StyleFactory team is taking you on a tour of the farm. Let’s re-balance your urban lifestyle with some natural material!
Following up on Surprising Empathy and Emotional Austerity, our previous moodboards, “Re-balancing” is the third theme of Interior Trends 2011, a style guide created at the IMM Cologne International Furniture Fair, summing up emerging design trends for this year. The four themes the report suggests will define next year are: “Emotional Austerity,” “Surprising Empathy,” “Re- Balancing” and “Transforming Perspectives.”
Here the report’s take on “Re-Balancing”:

Even angular and simple individual structures can be fashioned into rounded and astonishingly comfortable opportunities for retreat – soft padding or sheepskins emanate a sense of luxury.

The preference is for natural materials. The surface textures are knitted or woven, occasionally even hand-spun. A warm rhubarb-red radiates positive energy and warmth and is combined with creamy-white, corn-yellow and tan shades ranging from light brown all the way to terracotta.
