Heimtex trends 4 - "Wellbeing 4.0 - Enrich"

Enrich is about "opulent me time", about indulgence and luxury. The source for this theme can be found in the society's trend to value oneself, to do oneself good, to feed one's senses to the max …  and this means to invest in one's surroundings, to buy quality products that will last a longtime.

Think classy, eye catching, shimmering materials. Lots of metallics, and highly decorative elements. For this theme, more is more!

Patterns come on strong! They are opulent, decorative and ornamental. Oriental influences are important. Based on cultural references designs play with classic patterns, sometimes staying close to the original, sometimes doing their own modern interpretations.
