Paris, Paris, Paris. The design week in September is usually a busy week with lots of activities in the capital. And slowly but surely the design scene is waking up after two years of corona. I will do an overview…

My colour report from Maison & Objet.https://trendstefan.se/2021/09/21/maison-objet-2021-the-colours/@maisonetobjet #mo21

My spread in sustainability and design for Vego. Writing about local consumption. It has gone up 63% in certain areas!! So of course including local design from Klässbols, Oxenstierna, Finnish wood and Portuguese ceramics. All with a unique and local story. @vegomagasinet #sustainability #sustainabledesign

My third and final report from Milan. Talking about details. Everything available at the link below: https://trendstefan.se/2021/09/19/milan-design-week-2021-the-details/

Trend three - transperency. I am trying to keep this short. Of course there are million of paper lamps. Everyone has it. Of course there is Wood. Lots of leather. More than usual. The 80s office armchair aesthetics is also here.But transparency. Colleagues at @pejtrend is talking about it and it is kind of a reaction to heavy velvet we have seen. It is all lighter and brighter. Favourites are the lamps@at @pleasewaittobeseated and textiles at @kvadrat. #3daysofdesign @3daysofdesign

Trend two - graphical design with stripes. Good buy flowers and hello lines. At Three Days of Design There are 200 exhibtions and I have missed plenty… i know there is plenty of these lined patterns But not in this segment. I know for instance Kristina Dam (@kristinadamstudio) has a lot of nice graphical prints. But not here. Saw them in Paris. Pictures are tagged. @3daysofdesign #3daysofdesign

Three trends at Three Days of Design. I am super late with updating the blog. Not done with Milan and Paris so here is a short summary of the trends for Copenhagen. Three parts. Here is trend number one. YELLOW. I know people are talking about colours like blue or purple but the accent colour of the year is absolutely yellow. And actually any kind. It can be a sort of Easter Yellow, or softer (almost nude). Regardless - Expect yellow in details. I have taggad the pictures so scroll for details. #3daysofdesign #trends
