TREND REPORT 2022-23 Internal Handout

PASTEL SERENITY AESTHETIC A hopeful retreat to sooth and calm the soul. A grown up approach to fun pastels. Feels fresh & optimistic. Soft soothing colours that compliment rather than clash. Tonal hues, lilacs and purples are becoming popular. Shapes are all very rounded and curved edges. Conical shapes are popular. Finishes are soft and smooth perfectly even glazes. Metallics are also kept soft with a brushed e ect rather than highly polished. Patterns are abstract and minimal and bring a soft touch with hand-painted e ects. At a glance it feels very modern but looking at the details there are hints of sustainability with the natural woods and rattan.
