In recent years, the residential space of the contactless era has been transformed into a space containing various values, unlike in the past. It has changed into a space where family members have to live together and do various things while seeing each other’s faces all day long. Many changes have occurred as the interior design of the residential space is needed.
Moreover, the market for interior surface product design has increased in that the residential space should be wider than before, more individualized, and changed into a space where you can meet nature. However, unlike these changes, the design suitable for consumer needs is insufficient. In addition, it is often said that it is necessary to focus on developing various interior product designs that reflect consumer trends and apply design trends. Therefore, this study aims to identify and reflect the trends presented at Heimtextil 2023-2024 to help the interior product industry and related design industries as basic data by developing designs suitable for consumer needs.
The scope of this study was selected as a range of four trend-themed Make and Remake, Continuous, From Earth, and Nature Engineered presented at the Heimtextil 2023-2024 Fair, and interior design products for bedding, mural walls, and sofa carpet designs were developed.
The research method was investigated and analyzed focusing on literature such as domestic and foreign prior research papers and professional books to consider the definition of design trends. In addition, the presentation of surface product design for interior was presented by constructing and converging abstraction and geometric figure alignment, and visualizing the design using Procreate and Photoshop.
As a result, the following conclusions were drawn through the development of surface product design for interiors reflecting the 2023-2024 Heimtextil design trend. First, the subject of bed design reflecting Make and Remake is ‘the shape of leaves.’ Cotton was used, and the bedroom was designed incorporating abstractism and geometric shapes to express minimalism, and the image of circular economy and sustainability was naturally created to top off the residential space. Second, the theme of the mural wallpaper design reflecting Continuous is ‘flowers in full bloom.’ Silk was used to pursue practicality, simplicity, and waste-free design, and a simple mural wallpaper design was developed by combining abstractism and geometric shapes. Color and closedloop recycling possibilities are well reflected. Third, the theme of sofa design reflecting From Earth is ‘the line of the natural world.’ The design emphasizes natural colors and materials, combining abstractism and linear composition to express the lines of the natural world.
The sofa design realized the aesthetics of natural colors through the arrangement of lines. Fourth, the theme of carpet design reflecting Nature Engineered is ‘the world of curves.’ The nylon material, which redefines ‘natural’ and is processed as an organic material through technology, is applied to the carpet due to its durability.
In addition, the curves intersect each other to form a new surface and a section. The design feels close to nature by extracting colors closely related to the earth and soil. The durability of the carpet is improved, and cleaning is easy. The roof pile is designed using the manufacturing method of the level loop.
Therefore, design trends by consumer needs are critical in the design development of surface product design for interiors, so if one identifies design trends that change every year and develop surface product designs for interiors, it will help to strengthen competitiveness in the development of the interior design industry and increase sales. This study hopefully will inspire more designers and serve as a reference for research on interior design trends
