The trend is about finding light in the darkness. The phrase « Feeling Blue » is about melancholy, but at the same time, blue is the most hopeful color of all. It is an antidote to negative emotions and also happens to be the color of water. Objects also refer to water. Fragile materials like glass reflect our fragility, while reflective materials make us think about our actions. Flowing shapes symbolize impermanence.
Blue brings hope and calm in times of chaos and uncertainty, and stone represents strength, literally the rock in the surf.
In this theme, we see a range of sophisticated browns and blues. We combine cold and warm tones to create a very different feel. We combine the solidity of earth with the softness and airiness of blue.
