“The enormous creative potential and the international expertise of the members of the Trendtable are also of great importance for the reorientation of our trend presentation. We are really looking forward to the big ‘Theme Park’ project at Heimtextil 2015”, says Olaf Schmidt.

The design studios involved in the preparation of the trend themes for the 2015/16 season are:
Stijlinstituut Amsterdam (the Netherlands) and its managing director Anne Marie Commandeur will take the lead in the development of the new trend themes and the ‘Theme Park’. She heads a team and network of multi-disciplinary designers who work in the fields of textile innovations, prognoses, colour trends and strategic design concepts. 
 
Tokyo-based Dan and Gen Namura from Dan Project (Japan) are young designers whose artistic origins can be traced back to the renowned ‘yuzen’ handicraft of dying and weaving kimono fabrics in Kyoto. Their work ranges from designing furniture fabrics, via bags and clothing, to premium textiles and colourful graphic prints. 
 
Mayouri Sengchanh, CEO of Exalis, represents Carlin International (France), the world’s longest established trend agency and one of the top five of the sector in Germany, Switzerland and Russia. Carlin International offers services in the field of style marketing, brand development and consulting, trend scouting, sector-related trend books and the individual preparation of colour and trend worlds in special workshops for clients. 
 
Felix Diener, textile designer and engineer (Germany), founded his own design studio in 2008. He designs carpets, curtains and home accessories. His creative work forms an interface between art and technology, and is distinguished by the use of colours, materials and textures. As reflected by his portfolio, his individual design philosophy transcends colour and form with the emphasis on the search for innovative structures, surfaces, compositions and production techniques.
 
Kate Franklin and Caroline Till of FranklinTill Studio (Great Britain) have over 20 years’ experience in research, trend forecasting and design strategy. The wide range of projects carried out by the multi-disciplinary agency includes trend reports, colour prognoses, design realisation, brand developments and fair and exhibition curation. Caroline Till is also responsible for the world-famous Textile Futures course of study at Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design in London.
 
As Creative Director of Homebuildlife, a subsidiary of the WGSN Group (USA), Lisa White and her team have created the only B2B trend-forecasting website, which specialises in interior and product design and analyses the latest lifestyle, industrial design and decoration trends. Additionally, Lisa White is Director of the WGSN Think Tank, which analyses long-term consumption trends.
