GERMANY – As it has become a much-expected yearly event in the woodworking industry, Interprint is presenting its new decor collection: the Six Pack 2018.
The Arnsberg décor printer sees special, international market potential in the six selected surfaces for furniture design and interior design. The look of the six on-focus décors covers a wide range of materials: wood, concrete, stone and steel.
“With the Six Pack 2018, Interprint has launched a new collection that is incredibly flexible,” summarized Salvatore Figliuzzi, Director of Marketing & Design at Interprint. “It shows authenticity and naturalness just as much as the smart materiality of the future. We are pleased that the collection allows us to present six design statements for current home trends to our customers and partners.”
Follows the details of the Six Pack 2018 collection as described by its creators:
DELIOS
An old larch from the Alpine region. Smoked, rough, cracked and planked. The white oil treatment creates a unique color effect. Natural and handcrafted influences give it recognition value.
ARTISAN OAK
Material: Timber framing wood. The goal of the technical reworking was to obtain the character of old wood. A warm and authentic contrast to the cool, industrial look.
HANSEN
A blond wood in the Nordic style. A typical Scandinavian feature is that the material has been reduced to the essentials. Cut flowers and variable striped parts support the simple look.
GARBO
The walnut interpretation of a fruitwood. Soft core and sapwood elements give the decor its elegant look. Timeless and universal: harmonizes with styles ranging from modern Nordic to traditional Italian.
AURORA
Following the metal trend: A cold-rolled steel plate with traces of the grinding process. Metallic effects with a cool look reminiscent of the northern lights. Smart materiality, also available in a brass look.
GRID
A material mix with the look of concrete and stone. The geometry of the grid reveals floral details up close. A flexible design in both function and style: can be cut any way and used anywhere. At home in urban spaces.
In order to arrive at this selection for Six Pack 2018, the Interprint design team first identified the four defining trends for the year to come.
- up/cycling – The second life.
Natural resources are more valuable than ever. Sustainability matters. It’s great when materials experience a second or even a third life cycle. Up/cycling means appreciation: not only for people and the environment, but also for diversity and creativity.
- co-everything – The strong WE.
The trend is still going strong: co-everything – living and working in creative cooperation. Co-working, co-creation, co-living are the buzzwords of a world in which ‘together’ creates more value than ‘alone’. A free exchange of skills and knowledge.
- non-conform–Imperfect by design.
Imperfection rather than perfection. With everything being digitized, we want things left imperfect. Even industrially made furniture and accessories appear ‘made by myself’ and show individual traces of use. Interior design and furnishings remain imperfect on purpose.
- smart-material – The new materiality.
The fascination of the surface. Whether fashion, industry or living – smart materials are shaping our lives. Specific features like changing colors, intensive feels or special effects create a unique look. New materials are emerging from new technologies.
