100% Design is the UK’s largest design trade show and it took place at Olympia London once again this month. My pleasure to represent Accolade and great to be staying ahead with -new developments in the interiors industry. Some interesting trends and products on display that you need to know about…

Living Wall

This trend’s still on the rise with designs getting bolder to make that wow statement in your reception or boardroom.

Booths

We all still need some sort of privacy in open plan offices and the iconic ‘framery’ pods, shown in the latest colours, were faithfully on show. What an inspirational background below!

Wooden Legs

Along with the resurge in popularity of Charles and Ray Eames, Retro styling is big at the moment with mid shades of table board and tapered, wooden feet. The moody tones are all about making the office ‘home from home’. Check out that veneer on the round table!

Agile to the next level

Your personal pouf, complete with carry handle.

Pods

Facilities for staff taken to the next level. No wasting time to hunt for power and data and certainly no need to pop off for refreshment mid-morning with drinking water on tap. Good for productivity but does this take it a bit far?

Surely we all need a few moments to recharge and there’s no harm in a bit of collaboration while we’re socialising with colleagues in the breakout area! On another note it’s nice to see aircharge wireless charging on display – one of the solutions we offer to keep your staff working productively.

Just while we’re at it

Wouldn’t mind working out on one of those bikes!
