Values more than Physical Attributes
Future generations are redefining boundaries, with their identities in constant flux. They are debunking norms and wanting to be heard: not for their physical attributes, but their values. They are conscious rebels, regularly pushing style norms in fluid experimentation. They look outside the more diverse aspects of their identities to bring positive and hopeful messages for the future. Their defiance is soft and powerful, expressed in comfortable, puff, and pastel-coloured looks. For the world of home interiors and textiles, this confirms that sustainability doesn’t need to be earthy. Instead, the aesthetic of Beyond Identity is bold, with a high level of fusion. The Beyond Identity trend is transformative at its core. This transformation of identity, renewed perception of colours and shifts to familiar thinking about the present go beyond what we know for a new future.
Beyond Identity Colours
Beyond Identity is redefining what pastel means. Through solid values, the often delicate and whitewashed pastel colours can become powerful and exciting. This colouration process forms the output of Beyond Identity. Colours are uncontrolled with fluid, transient and ethereal expressions resembling the constant flux of identity. The colours scale for Beyond Identity features a range of pastels, complemented with a familiar grey and pale khaki as muted transferral colours. A highlight orange creates gradient splashes. These Beyond Identity colours leave us with a light, joyful, desaturated scale where soft mixing is key.
