The trend Reflections presents a futuristic and high-tech interior with optical illusions and mirrored effects. Metallic and (semi) transparent materials are being mixed with the colours of water and air. Electric Blue is an accent which is used for neon or led lights and design objects. Vertical rib patterns in metal and foil optics make this techno atmosphere even stronger. The kinetic art is a new inspiration source. With coloured light projections and materials with pearl optics comes the interior into a movement.
HALL and STAIRS
Spaces like the hall or the stairs used to be not so important interior wise, but nowadays these areas are also being styled till the smallest details. Different materials like coloured glass, mirrors and strong scratch-and stain-free materials are combined. Create optical illusions and reflections in your interior with the ‘Pur Metal’ collection by Polyrey. Combine gloss and transparency with natural optics like natural stone (Corian Dusk) or ice (Corian Mint Ice).
RIB and LAMEL
In the interior architecture of the trend Reflections we find the influence from the 80’s with the comeback of the vertical ‘rib’ and ‘lamel’. This structure is processed in glass, metal and plastic. The new interior of the store Doctor Monzana is a beautiful example of how a futuristic atmosphere can still get a playful and ‘urban’ look. The diagonal lines give a retro feel and the coloured panels make the products stand out without breaking the rhythm of the lines.
—-HIGH TECH & CREATIVE
A futuristic atmosphere is no longer hard and cold. With coloured light effects, round shapes and creative design your interior will receive an innovative, quiet and soft-pop look. Glistening and mirroring materials are being combined with matt surfaces like concrete and corian in ice colours. Transparent materials like glass are combined with warmer materials like textile or wood. The colour pallet is light with a mix of pastels. Sky blue and Neo Mint are trending. Black has disappeared like snow in the sun.
GRADIENT
HThe gradient effect with iresident colours from hard materials takes a new value, the ground-breaking work from the Germans Ermics is a great example. Their use of glass gives this material a warm and artistic look. What also should be present in the Reflections interior is the serie Arrangements made by the designer Michael Anastassiades for Flos. These geometric shaped led light object can be combined in all kinds of ways. This is the perfect opportunity for every architect to show their creativity.
With this trend you can use vertical lines in different manners, coordinate them in one room; use them for tables, room dividers, curtains and wall decoration.
NATURAL REFLECTIONS
As soon as the sunlight finds its way through the clouds the nature can be out of this world beautiful, or when the wind blows over the sea and creates these endless rib pattern. Reflections and optical illusions from water, ice and the sky are the inspiration source of this trend. The colour pallet is monochrome, light and airy. The contrast between materials is big in this trend: from smooth and reflecting to iridescent and ribbed.
NEO MINT
The colour ‘neo-mint’ is an important transgender-friendly trend colour for 2019 and 2020, we used it as the material Polyrey C190 Céladon. In addition to the ice coloured materials used in this trend is the styling in this interior more important. Accessories like handles, lamps and stair steps become eye catchers. Mirrors are must haves, the mirrors we use now are so prominent and artistic that you first look at the mirror itself before you look at your own reflection.
WHITE + LED + PASTEL
The white spaces are redefined with big pastel-coloured surfaces. Combine white with pastel-pink, mint and salmon and add a, accent colour like neon or metallic. Design mirrors are a must have and should be presented as artworks in a room. ‘Lines’ are being marked by led strips or small neon pipes. Coloured metal with changeant optics does revive the 1980s feel.
