Forecasting future lifestyles
The 2018 edition of Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles has collaborated with international forecasting firm NellyRodiTM Agency to form a trend committee with different fields of expertise in order to gain latest comprehension of international lifestyle forecasts. ‘Future’ is the keyword of the season and three themes have been developed to illustrate this keyword. The three themes are: Caring Future: A greener, more moral and socially oriented creation that draws inspiration from new eco-gestures and good altruist sense with a new credo – take care of nature and man.
Crazy Future: Plays on whimsical surrealism and petulance, the master of light-hearted insouciance. It plants a seed of madness in creation. Emo Future: Is new nostalgia for the origin of things and reconnects us to the essential. Neo-mysticism consecrates the elements and celebrates spiritual, benevolent nature. It inspires the perpetuation of traditions and rituals our ancestors practiced, in all their wisdom and humanism, to glorify nature
The three themes will be demonstrated and discussed throughout the four-day fair in a series of events, while exhibitors’ products that resonate with the themes will be displayed in the Trend Area. Trend Forum tours will also take place, allowing show attendants to learn and discuss with designers and trend experts about lifestyle trends.
Wide spectrum of products
As the leading home textillle trade fair in Asia, participants can expect to see latest items and discover the forthcoming market direction.
