COLORNETWORK is a globally unique business network that takes a completely new, timeless and holistic approach to colour in interior design. Drawing on our leading expertise in industry and trend research within the interior sector, we collaborate with the greatest and most renowned designers of our time to develop colour and material concepts for interiors and lifestyle. In doing so, we take a holistic approach to colour, considering its effect on people as well as its interplay with wood, stone, metall and other materials, used in modern interior design. We place great importance on combining timelessly beautiful colours for furniture and furnishings- our ´Sustained Colors`- with forward-looking materials in a contemporary way. In this way, we preserve value within spaces and in architecture. We inspire architects, designers, planners, interior decorators, fit-out specialists, clients and design enthusiasts all over the world. Our aim is not only to recognise colour as an added value, but also to enable people to experience its effects- in terms of colour and scent psychology, materials, surfaces and tactile qualities- in a particularly holistic way. This enables unique spatial experiences that can have a positive influence on health and well- being. At the same time, we ensure transparancy regarding our products- from their origin to their recyclability- in our `Sustainability Statement`, which our partners make available for download for each product.
Another key focus of our work is networking with companies, with the primary emphasis on people and the key figures within those organisations. Our diverse partners, who manufacture internationally, benefit in many ways from our growing corporate network, particularly in the areas of product development, marketing and sales. We work together to devise customer solutions and offer products as part of a colour scheme or as a design concept. This enables diversity at an industrial level, and small businesses benefit from collaborating with global market leaders, whilst we value their uniqueness within our network. We particularly support eco-friendly start-ups with forward-looking products and services centred on interior design and lifestyle.
COLORNETWORK is an internationally registered trademark of TRENDFILTER- Design Future For Furniture And Materials. Our 30 years` experience in the sector as trends researchers, interior designers and product developers in the home furnishing and material industry form the basis of our network`s unique expertise, from which manufacturers, interior designers, retailers, fabricators and consumers alike can benefit.
Feel free to get in touch! We look forward hearing from you!
Yours, Katrin & Jorrit de Louw
