EDITORIAL
Creative Instinct PAOLO BLEVE | Editor-in-chief
C
itterio Viel, De Lucchi, Dytham, Levete, Heatherwick, Jouin Manku, Norguet, Schrager, Urquiola, Foster&Partners, Yabu Pushelberg: this is the onze de gala, featured inside the Contract Book, 11 stars of design which have proven – as if they ever needed to – their ability to translate their own lines of thought into projects. This edition touches down on all continents, brimming with creations imbued with universal taste, architectures and interiors which break down barriers, the perfect balance of beauty and concreteness which emerges in the skilful measurement of spaces and the relationship with time that can be spent inside them. The SS18 edition opens with the exclusive content of Color Stories, anticipating 2019 colour trends. The ColorWorks forecast constitutes a tangible present for IFDM readers, in terms of research into new behavioural trends on targets, which is then used to develop corresponding colour languages. The Book’s first two stories introduce highly sensitive themes: the first is centred around Control, symbolised by the Ctrl+F button, the act of reclaiming your own free will despite rapid progress in artificial realities. The second, a natural consequence of the first, speaks of the importance and uniqueness of human thought, creative instinct and simple critical sense.
Once more, all 24 projects in this edition distinguish themselves in terms of singularity and formality: veritable jewels of the project world, in every shape and size: from the awe-inspiring Central Embassy, Bangkok, Cape Town’s surprising The Silo, to the sheer elegance of Puro, Gdańsk, or the delicate design of Carlota, Ecuador. In the heart of the book you’ll discover Bulgari Dubai which opened its doors to IFDM, enabling us to capture a glimpse of its rich yet unexplored architectonic and interior design. Projects are alternated by Wonders, independent images of strong communicative impact, rapid advertisements of beauty and absolute surprise, which capture creations and places that require no explanation. As the ColorWorks experts would say: Keep Wonder Alive! Mipim 2018 partner, the Book will also debut in Cannes, in support of the project world and its professionals during the key event for the Real Estate and Hospitality sector.

COLOR STORIES
Trend
Towards the future The color trends stories, told exclusively to IFDM by Judith van Vliet, designer of ColorWorks EMEA and new Color Marketing Group President, are back. In 2019 the focus shifts towards the implications of technology for human life
I
ncreasingly global and increasingly focused on society. ColorWorks®’ methodological approach is evolving in parallel with the world, which it analyzes, recounting its color trends. The Clariant business unit, which is represented by its four centers (São Paulo, Chicago, Merate and Singapore) and annually draws up a ‘guide’ to the color trends for the following year named ColorForward, shifts the focus from “Color Consumer Direction” to “Society | Trends | Aesthetic”. This change greatly expands the scope of its work, intercepting a widespread interest from designers and creatives wishing to learn more about trends and colors, including in areas outside their own, and more extensive attention to different prototypes. The concept has thus expanded from color to aesthetic, from consumer to society. It is this universality that generates trends – those international changes and emerging movements that ColorWorks® experts perceive and identify in their outset, grouping them into four macro-themes (or “Stories” as they are labelled), each of which is translated into a palette of 5 colors, totalling 20 colors that define the ColorForward for the following year. So what awaits us in 2019? While 2018 revealed general disorientation in society, the search for new experiences, including spiritual and sustainable experiences, represented by colors with low saturation that were more ‘dirty’ and neutral, will be accompanied next year by an increase in tones, both in terms of color and, of course, positivity.
“As far back as 2014, while working on ColorForward 2016, we began to see consumers becoming more introspective and even a little fearful about what was happening in their world,” recalls Judith van Vliet, ColorWorks® Designer and a leader of the ColorForward team. “That gloominess, reflected in colors that were muted, softer, darker and even ambiguous, has persisted. Although the palette for 2019 is still toned down and more than a little grey, we see in it a growing sense of resolve and determination to find ways to live happily in our increasingly technical world that also reflects in colors.” Though the inescapability of technology in personal and professional life is nothing new, the awareness of the concentration and above all the control it keeps on users is something different. She talks about these concepts respectively in the Do not Disturb and CTRL + F stories. A control that must be reappropriated, promoting complementarity between humans and technology and stimulating areas of creativity and empathy that are still far from Artificial Intelligence. This is the theme of Made in Human. Specially, but not only, the millenials have managed to combine these two aspects – creativity and tech –, emerging stars of the largest portion of the recent trends. Curiously, the largest population of millenials resides in Africa (they are known as ‘Afrillenials’), a continent that is increasingly inspiring in areas such as music, cinema and color. The fourth and last trend story, Umswenko, is dedicated to Africa. Here are the first two stories.

POSITIVE VIBES She has learned from the great masters and has herself become a model and icon of design over the last decade. Patricia Urquiola is leading the way in design and architecture with an approach that encompasses the two inseparable elements of logic and emotion
U
rquiola’s curriculum vitae speaks for itself. Born in 1961, she studied with the masters – Achille Castiglioni, Eugenio Bettinelli, Vico Magistretti and Piero Lissoni –, and her name appears alongside the leading furniture companies – Moroso, Agape, Mutina, Kettal, Molteni&C, B&B Italia, Kartell, Andreu World and Haworth, just to name a few. She divides her work between design and architecture, while also overseeing exhibitions and installations. Last but not least, she is Art Director of Cassina. Her projects are also biographical stories, revealing the strong identity of their author, who is capable of combining, with supreme delicacy, a logical and rational approach and profound emotional sensitivity. She has a ‘changeable, evolving’ personality much like her conception of objects and space, to which she adapts with extraordinary malleability, constantly overcoming challenges and broadening the horizons of the possible. She has palpable, contagious energy that is polychrome like the palette from which she draws to paint the furniture world.

African luxury Industrial archaeology, art and design coexist in equal measure at The Silo, a new hotel in Cape Town. The hotel has an international feel designed to appeal to a global audience by Heatherwick Studio and the attentive eye of Liz Biden
B
efore its relaunch in 2017, The Silo spent 80 years storing Cape Town’s wheat, playing a key role in the industrial and agricultural development of South Africa. After the building was bought by high-end hotel chain The Royal Portfolio, run by the Biden family, it was converted into the The Silo hotel, with the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (MOCAA) located underneath serving as a stunning home for the largest collection of contemporary African art in the world. The presence of the museum was always going to see some of its talent and creativity rub off on the hotel above. Indeed, The Silo exhibits a range of works by artists both established and emerging, as well as collaborating with private gallery The Vault, which showcases a new range of the most promising African art every six months. This extraordinary feat of architectural regeneration is the work of Heatherwick Studio, a team of 180 “problem solvers” based in London, who were picked by V&A Waterfront, the government-backed company that owns the area. The project focused on preserving the value of this monumental, industrial structure, which was taken to the next level with the addition of huge, original windows.
