How lucky to be part of an industry that inspires, stimulates, creates, is innovation at it's very best and embraces new talent and ideas without prejudice.
Welcome to the First Edition of Muse! This visually creative and written reference for forthcoming trends should do just one thing; provide a constant point of inspiration which will be a useful working tool for the designer.
The included trends in Muse span interiors, fashion, colour and product and have been compiled and collated by the leading industry specialists such as The Mix, Bureaux, Ready Made Colour, Residences, Viewpoint and Perceptions.
The themes explored from The Mix Interior include Exuberant, a world of contrast with a style that is bright, tactile, stimulating and optimistic. Epicurean takes you to a place of fine wines and sparkling cut-glass, crisp monogrammed linens and dark glossy wood. Symbolic is compelling and modern with a strong awareness of history.
A few industry profiles and articles are interspersed throughout the book to lend a practical and welcome balance to the visually stimulating pages that unfold into Muse.

| 2005 Trends |
VIGOUR
Electrically charged storms and tropical heatwaves bring a magical twist to a perennial summer theme. This colour story takes energy from the rainforest, where primeval and pagan forces morph exotic flora and fauna into fantastical predatory beasts in clashing, liquid, after-the-rain brights of kiwi, parrot, lagoon and tangerine. |

| The power of colour |
ALLURE
Etiquette and ‘poshness’ make a comeback in a matt colour story that is perfect for ladies and gents who lunch. Manners maketh man and refinement, elegance and style that was lost is found again. This powerful colour look is polished, manicured and full of confidence. |

| True elegance |
SYMBOLIC
Ancient materials such as bone, ivory, marble and parchment are reinterpreted in a dramatic colour story that embodies paradox and contra-diction, and represents a uniquely exciting homage to minimalism. In this startling pairing of mineral whites and blood reds, erotic and religious associations take second place to textures in an idealized, unattainable world. |

| Dedicated to the worship of the body |
EPICUREAN
Crisp monogrammed linens and dark glossy woods complement heirloom silver and stylish bone china to create the ultimate aspirational setting for a family celebration, when nothing but the best will do. Colours are greige, lilac, bay leaf, set against midnight blue and oyster shell. Chic masculine shades these may be, but the mood is far from stern. |
 |
| Discreet, unhurried luxury |
EXUBERANT
Lacquer red paired with citrus greens, translucent blue and holographic rose: this thrilling colour palette shouts exuberant youth and is ideal for the young consumer – but the young at heart who love the buzz of city life will also find it hard to resist. |

| An extremely versatile colour scheme |
