Interpon F - Trend Range 2010
As the world's largest coatings company, no one has more expertise in color and color trends than AkzoNobel. Home to the Aesthetics Centre, our in house color and trend experts, we are ideally placed to anticipate and predict movements in trends affecting color and hence coating choice.
We at AkzoNobel have drawn on the expertise of the Aesthetics Centre to produce this, the Powder Coatings Annual Trend Range.
Our selection is inspired by the Color Envelope # 8 - a tool which describes color trend direction. This is an annual publication developed by the Analogue Group - an international group of designers and architects who meet annually to discuss and predict color trends - and produced by the Aesthetics Centre.
The theme for this year's Color Envelope is 'Enabling' and is demonstrated across seven color moods.
SHARING
At first glance this theme is reminiscent of early 20th century modernism but it unveils an essential shift to braver hues and tones as fresh as the concept "sharing".
