With its
evolution into a lifestyle space, the bathroom is experiencing the return of
colour as well. Bathroom planners and the industry are responding to the
desire for individually and boldly designed bathrooms with an ever growing
variety of finishes and unusual arrangements.
Frank A.
Reinhardt, proprietor of a content development and communication agency, has
spent over 20 years bringing design and brands together. He analyses the
transformation of a product through different media, consumers and the
zeitgeist. A graduate with a Diploma in Product Design, he has worked as a
Product Manager. His articles as a journalist and freelance editor on bathroom
design, homes and lifestyle, marketing, and product and communication design
have appeared in numerous trade publications. He was also quick to publish
consumer research studies. Today his agency in Cologne advises industrial companies,
trade associations and trade fair organisers, and provides them with concepts,
images, events, videos and copy.
Diversity is the order of the day when it comes to
materials too: besides wood, marble is also playing a prominent role, as are
new kinds of metallic finishes for fittings, furniture surfaces and
accessories. As a result, bathroom planners now have the scope they need not
just to play with matt and glossy surfaces but to use totally new design
elements as well. In his lecture the design journalist and trend expert Frank
A. Reinhardt will be showing what opportunities the current colour trends in
interior design are opening up for the sanitary sector. Twelve colour trends,
identified by him, will be particularly influential in bathroom design.
