Boutique Design - March 2015 - 12
the buzz
The 2015 edition of Ambiente, the world's largest international consumer goods tradeshow,
offered up inspiration and trends for the hospitality industry, especially in terms of materials and
colors. Held in February at the Exhibition Centre Frankfurt in Germany, this year's fair (organized
by Messe Frankfurt) featured more than 4,800 exhibitors from 94 countries.
Taking the spotlight as the partner country for this year's Ambiente was the U.S., and in
honor of that connection, product designer Scott Henderson illustrated the power of emotional
connection and storytelling through "Seashore Galore," a curated display of inventive accessories
conceived in America (shown).
When it comes to materials, Scandinavian styles and natural palettes like those from Hübsch
continued to have a strong presence at the show, with raw elements and textures paired against
flashier (and unexpected) materials such as gold-leaf and mother-of-pearl. The origin, sustainability and ethical production of the items being displayed were also of growing import. LindDNA's
water- and dirt-repellent furnishings, for example, are made in Denmark from recycled leather
and latex, while outdoor spa and resort chairs from Finnish EcoFurn are hewn from naturally
felled trees and bound by hemp rope. Matali Crasset and Sebastian Herkner partnered with tribal
basket weavers to merge Zimbabwean and European aesthetics, and Danish-born Cecile Elisabeth
Rudolph's edible textile art is crafted from laser-cut, vegetable-dyed discarded fish skins.
When it comes to colors, attendee Birgit Shallock, a senior designer at Hamburg-based hospitality interiors specialist JOI-Design, observed that "the popularity of pastel finishes was a clear
reflection of the growing desire for spaces imbued with lightness and clarity. Verdant 'jungle' themes
and imaginative plant displays emphasized a yearning to connect with nature in urban settings."
