Design for All the Senses | Materials & Surfaces A/W 2025.26
In Fall/Winter 2025.26, materials and surfaces reflect a deep connection to sustainability, bio-based compounds, recyclable resources, and multi-faceted forms. Flowing finishes—sometimes with a digital flair—are just as on-trend as granular, mineral, or tactile textures. Crystalline surfaces, marble, bio-based matter, wood, wicker, acrylic, and metal embody the designs’ dual nature: futuristic yet cozy. Surfaces are often fluid or diffuse. Ombré patterns with rainbow effects, shimmering metallics, nostalgic patinas, and tactile shapes transform new products into immersive, interactive experiences.
