Pantone Inc, the global authority on color and provider of professional color standards for the design industries, unveiled PANTONE VIEW home + interiors 2009, the eight most directional color palettes for home furnishings and interior design for 2009.
“Time and again, contemporary issues and trends are mirrored by the themes we choose for our homes and the products we buy,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. “Eco-awareness is a resounding theme as consumers continue to be more thoughtful about what they are buying and the impact their choices will have on the world.
Today's consumers find innovative ways to recycle, reuse and re-purpose. At the same time, there is also a need to relax, rewind, renew and hopefully, refurbish. The 2009 palettes address these trends, which will be reflected in designs and products for the home in the coming year.”
PANTONE VIEW home + interiors 2009 is a forecasting tool that provides color and trend inspiration, enabling designers to select the right shades and combinations when creating products for the home and interior spaces. PANTONE VIEW home + interiors 2009 contains 4” x 1” swatch cards of each of the 69 forecasted colors – along with visual inspiration and color harmonies for each of the individual palettes – in one convenient binder.
The tool also includes the PANTONE FASHION + HOME digital color library for incorporating PANTONE Color palettes into various design software programs. CMYK printing equivalents are supplied to accurately reproduce the forecasted colors in marketing materials, in-store signs and packaging.
