The Eccentric: Heimtextil 2013 Trend Forum

Addressing the growing trend for our living spaces to reflect our identity and individual lifestyles, textile trade fair Heimtextil’s Trend Forum presented four different personalities to illustrate the trends for 2013/2014: The Geologist, The Historian, The Eccentric, and The Inventor.

The Geologist: a strong interest in science and nature inspires a range of fabrics that combine natural fibres with crystalline effects, as well as textiles that imitate geological textures, such as marbling and precious imperfections.
