Positive Vibes draws on optimism, lightness and colourful expressiveness. The kitchen towel from Fadenrot reflects this theme in a special way with its unusual motif in striking colours, immediately adding a fresh, friendly touch. The delicate glass vases “Curiosa” by Philippi captivate with their unusual shapes, which exude a sense of cheerfulness and bring the trend theme vividly to life. The “Positivity” card box by Laurence King Publishing fits seamlessly into this world, offering uplifting prompts that brighten the mood at home or on the go. And the small, brightly coloured Vespa by Toynamics conveys pure zest for life – lively, cheerful and wonderfully light-hearted, capturing the essence of Positive Vibes at a glance.
Gentle Elegance focuses on a subtle, high-quality style that conveys calm and works with a natural, understated design. The ash wood bench from the Caritas Association of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising (side by side) exudes a gentle, clear elegance thanks to the simplicity of its design and the noble material. The light summer blanket by David Fussenegger brings a subtle calm to the space with its understated pattern, while also adding a stylish, clear accent. A tasteful home is ensured by the “Glanz & Gloria” candle duo from Bulla-Manufaktur: with the organic shape of the candle holder, it fits perfectly into this cosy trend and emphasises a warm aesthetic.
The Trend Islands also serve as a starting point for hands-on knowledge transfer: visual merchandising expert Karin Wahl offers practical insights into both trend themes every day from 11:30 to 12:00 directly at the Trend Islands, delivering specific ideas for implementation at the POS.
