Artisan is all about craftsmanship, sustainable design and the beauty of organic materials. A desire to move towards more human connection, tactile surfaces are key.

Matte, raw surfaces like wood, leather, linen, plaster and clay in grounding and earthy tones like cinnamon, putty, burnt sienna, rust, bitter chocolate are pivotal.

Brute is all about a new form of masculinity. Brutalist design, craftmanship and traditional skills using leather and metalwork are key to this trend. Rough, worn surfaces and burnished metal finishes combined with thoughtful design create a warm but strong base for this trend.  Weaves, tweeds and traditional fabric-making techniques also feature. The dark masculine pallet is dominated by burnished metals, bitter chocolate, russet, slate, charcoal and mustard. The Pantone colours of the year, ultimate grey and illuminating, are given a new twist with the brown hues that sit beside them.

Green Earth - We’ve been talking about biophilic design for a while now, but since the beginning of the pandemic, the outdoors has become a very important part of life and central to our wellbeing. The colour green is of particular importance, as science has shown that looking at green can decrease heart rates and alleviate stress. Growing your own vegetables and living a simpler existence is both good for the soul and good for the environment, with natural dyes also having a resurgence in popularity. Key colours for this trend are matte moss, ochre, sage, amber, brown tones and sky blue.  Green Earth - We’ve been talking about biophilic design for a while now, but since the beginning of the pandemic, the outdoors has become a very important part of life and central to our wellbeing.
