APLF Product Trends Fall-Winter 2022/23

by Olivier Guillemin [o,o] in collaboration with the Comité Français de la Couleur.

 

 

Winter 2022/23, that of the world after, intensifies with its surprises and energetic humanistic or eco-responsible projects. By freeing ourselves from our current fears and anguishes, collectives, co-constructions and partnerships stimulate strength as well as creative freedom. In a synergy between the intelligence of nature and human intelligence, colours glorify innovative ideas and celebrate styles that defy the seasons. Materials amplify the ecstatic and the extraordinary, sometimes bordering on madness, in a dichotomy between technology and craftsmanship, rough minerals and a research for tactile, sensual effects.
