In the main, home living and furniture are influenced by the megatrends of individualisation, urbanisation, digitisation and new work. Alongside these comes a whole range of trends which, although shorter lived, have a pronounced impact on lifestyle and the spirit of the age. Striking a chord with the times is key to business success for kitchen and furniture manufacturers.

Hettich has now sent out a team of trend scouts to look around for the pivotal trends in the furniture segment, having recently made a trip to EuroCucina, the leading design fair in Milan. Initial upshot: it's not always big changes but often details that make all the difference. This is where the spectrum ranges from pastel colours and organic shapes to attributes such as natural authenticity and sustainability as well as technical innovations in electrical appliances. The latter, for instance, is clearly dominated by a trend towards greater practical convenience and multifunctionality. Cooking or baking no longer demands experience but merely a capability of presetting the right automatic programme. On the design front, handles are making a comeback. Not so much as a practical element but rather as a key component in furniture design.

The Hettich team has gathered together these and many other trends for the new trend website. And because trends come and go, this is where there's always something new to discover. Anyone in a rush can watch the latest trends in a video show. Taking a look is worthwhile – time and again.
