We’ve featured “Element“,”Discovery” and “Heirloom,” and now it’s time for “Connect,” the final instalment in Plascon’s 2016 Colour Forecast, which aims to bring a bright and contemporary edge to any space.

This theme is a reaction against cold and simple minimalism, focusing on contrasting bold and primary colours and geometric shapes and lines. Connect uses abstract juxtaposition and colour as its main point of reference to evoke feelings of playfulness, experimentation and optimism. Using vivid colours and strong shapes inspired by the Memphis art movement, Connect brings mod to the forefront in this forecast.

We’ve already featured Element” and “Discovery,” now it’s time for “Heirloom,” the third instalment in Plascon’s 2016 Colour Forecast. Heirloom draws inspiration from history and decadent luxury.

Influenced by a feeling of nostalgia, rich colours and luxurious textures, Heirloom uses the past as its main point of reference to evoke feelings of familiarity and comfort. The concept behind this theme is to give these past motifs a contemporary twist, using deep and sensuous palettes in imaginative ways, aged surfaces and textural treatments.
