Colour Hive will be back at Surface Design Show to present two diverse stories from their Colour Material and Finish Directions for 2025.  

 

Soul 

Here we explore sustainability, wellbeing, and a devotional connection to nature as a response to increased levels of eco-anxiety. Drawing on environmental folklore, there is a bleak beauty to the Soul aesthetic, referencing hostile landscapes, fens and ancient temperate forests filled with fungi, ferns and bracken.  

 

Hack 

With lives lived increasingly online, reality is in danger of becoming subjective. In Hack, we develop themes that questioning how the snowballing of advancements in tech could impact creativity. In this environment, we enter a liminal world, where aesthetics are informed by the Metaverse, gaming and AI. 

 

The seminar will feature the macro drivers, colour palettes and material and finish directions for the season through inspiring products and projects.
