Trendshow Outdoor Lifestyle at spoga+gafa

As the worldwide largest Garden Tradeshow spoga+gafa presented the latest trends for outdoor living and staged for the third time the Trendshow Outdoor Lifestyle for pioneering design. Derived from the global megatrends the trend show seeked for future-oriented developments for the design of outdoor spaces.

Which impact will sustainable concepts or the increasing urbanization have on the design of outdoor products? Will there be new solutions for the increasing number of older people or the desire for an individual living environment?

The trend show oriented itself on these global megatrends:

According to the leading theme of spoga+gafa the Trendshow Outdoor Lifestyle put a special emphasize on sustainable products. There had been novelties presented that contribute to save ressources. This could have been both outdoor furniture made of used teak wood or planters from recycled plastic.

Outdoor furniture and accessories stand for a new naturalness when produced from renewable materials such as certified wood or rattan. Even more solar driven techniques, insect-friendly plants or the collection of rainwater will create a sustainable green retreat.

The worldwide urbanization is increasing, so is the desire for urban gardening. The trend show presented novelties for urban outdoor spaces such as balconies and roof top terraces.

Compact and multifunctional furniture introduces design and lightness for the outdoor living room. Small planters or micro greenhouses ease the self-sufficiency with herbs or vegetables. Vertical gardening saves space and offers creative solutions for city gardening.

The Silver Society megatrend describes the demographic change of our society and the desire for a design across generations. The sensitivity for health is increasing, thus the need for relaxation and recovery.

The trend show presented ergonomically optimised and comfortable design that enhances a healthy serenity. These products designed for all age groups will be comprehensible, safe and user friendly.

As an important part of the living environment the green living room represents the personal taste. Therefore, new materials and digital processing methods extent the possibilities for designing and manufacturing outdoor products.

The trend show presented outdoor furniture and accessories that easily can be adapted to personal preferences: flexible and adjustable collections for individual configurations or products offering a wide range of materials, colours and additional features that fulfil the customers’ individual needs.

The Trendshow Outdoor Lifestyle at spoga+gafa 2022 has been curated by brandherm + krumrey interior architecture. The renowned designer Susanne Brandherm composed a trend show selected from the entries of new products from the exhibitors at spoga+gafa - products that stand for the latest furniture and decoration trends for outdoor living.
