The Design Age

The Design Age is dawning. We desire the unique, the bespoke, the individual – seeking products that will add a sense of luxury and distinction in our lives. A new industry of customisation is being created by the makers, the designers, the creators – producing handcrafted products that connect with us and focus on the importance of design more than ever before.

To celebrate the dawn of the Design Age, Dulux has carefully selected influential makers to create bespoke products, each representing one of the four trends of the Dulux Colour Trends 2016.

Watch the film

Bio Fragility

Bio Fragility is inspired by natural and living matter – flesh tones, lichen, moss and stone influence the subtle hues of the palette.

Future Past

Future Past takes its cues from steampunk merging with modern design – creating a new version of the old.

Retro Remix

Celebrate the lighter aspects of the new retro movement where colour combinations lead to acid brights clashing with faded muddied colours.

Infinite Worlds

Dark colours form the majority of the Infinite Worlds palette, juxtaposed with flashes of brilliant reds, pinks and coral and space age metallics.
