EXHIBITION

Curated Collections by Obsessionistas & WGSN-Homebuildlife

Interiors UK, NEC, Birmingham - 22-25 January 2012

Obsessionistas teamed up with WGSN-Homebuildlife, the global leader of online trend forecasting for the home and interiors markets. The unique collaboration was showcased at Interiors UK where a series of curated collections interpreting the three key Macro Trends from WGSN-Homebuildlife for the interiors market in Spring/Summer 2013 were exhibited.

Supported by a digital presentation of the latest trend information, the collections identified key concepts, colours, patterns, shapes and materials. The exhibition also invited visitors to consider how the categorization, display, history and narratives of collected objects can act as an inspiration for product developers, retailers and visual merchandisers.

This exciting collaborative project was located within the creatively driven hub of the Design Village hosted by Designersblock.
