ARE Trend No. 1: Brass, plush, and a tame gorilla for the living room

After years of restraint in every imaginable shade of grey we believe that furniture, lamps and accessories can now let their hair down a little. In other words, those who feel like showcasing their apartment movie style will feel right at home with KARE’s new “GLAMROCK” furnishing world. This contains extensive elements of gold and brass, combined with discrete grand hotel glamour which ensures that the ambience has the right dose of glitter. This furnishing trend combines references to furniture design from the Fifties to the Seventies with the matt reflections of console tables and sideboards, deep velvety armchairs, retro sofas and Plexiglas footstools covered in synthetic fur. Surprising touches are provided by striking decorations such as ‘Jane’, the seated plastic gorilla, or the colourful pair of XXL parrots called ‘Sissi and Franz’.
KARE Trend No. 2: Strength from nature – living with wood, stone and iron

The longing for nature within our own four walls remains a major trend in 2017. With the new ‘Elements’ furnishing world KARE places roughly hewn materials in an elegant context. ‘Elements’ generates associations with archaic landscapes, while inspiration is provided by natural experiences such as the calm of a Swiss mountain lake or the wildness of Scotland’s rocky coastline. In the process the designers play with the exciting combination of wood, glass and metal. For example, the ‘Fundy’ side table features a lake of greenish glass in its solid wood top.

In the ‘Vulkano’ furniture series amorphously shaped, dark slabs of slate rest on rough metal legs, while a mighty, weather-beaten root forms the base for the ‘Roots’ console table. Solid wooden furniture remains a central theme, but the design varies. An important role is played here by harmoniously rounded edges, as in the KARE ‘Brooklyn’ series, and by handcrafted details such as simple, decorative carvings as in the Puro collection, which tell of traditional craftsmanship.
KARE Trend No. 3: Playful and humorous

Mirrors from a fairy-tale world of enchantment and amusing small articles of furniture add playfulness and an element of humour to the home. Few brands can match KARE when it comes to furnishing design with a touch of fun. At the Cologne furniture fair visitor favourites are, for example, our animal umbrella stands for the hall. The White Rabbit from “Alice in Wonderland” looks out from the upholstery of a neo-baroque armchair, while a cat wearing the expression of the famous ‘Grumpy Cat’ serves as the base for a table. Dressers from the ‘Fun Factory’ series consist of lots of different colourful elements, as if thrown together by goblins.
KARE Trend No. 4: The bar trolley makes a comeback

Bar trolleys are now revealing themselves to be stylish and functional items of furniture: as a side table for your favourite books and pot plants or as a decorative all-rounder for candelabras, for example, and of course as a place to keep your favourite brand of gin together with elegant carafes and glasses. It’s sure to fit into any corner: just place a small table lamp on top – perfect!
KARE Trend No. 5: Green is the colour

Why do we need a vitalising touch of green in every room? Green represents life and nature and generates positive feelings such as calm and security. In other words, it’s a perfect match for the major furnishing trend of 2017. In “Greenery” Pantone has crowned a spring -like shade of green “Colour of the year”, and with their green fingers our KARE creative spirits demonstrate that they have just the right flair for the new 2017 trends.
