Exploring the SUPER NATURAL Theme: Bringing Nature to Life through Fabrics

Today, we embark on a journey into our SUPER NATURAL theme, a concept designed to bring the essence of nature into our lives through curated textiles. This theme is more than just an emerging trend in fabrics; it’s a celebration of the profound connection we share with the earth. We see it brought to life through a rich, dark colour palette and authentic design elements.

Embracing the Earth’s Rich Palette

SUPER NATURAL is a strikingly dark theme, colour-wise, containing essential greens and richer tones. It’s defined by projects and products that reflect the uncomplicated reality of the world we’re in.

This palette reflects the true essence of nature, capturing the diverse beauty found in the world around us. It draws inspiration from the dense, lush forests where towering trees create a canopy of green, and the ground is carpeted with moss-covered stones that exude a sense of timelessness.

The palette of SUPER NATURAL also embraces the richness of fertile soil, teeming with life and potential, a foundation for growth and renewal. Each element of this palette is a tribute to the natural world's complexity, inviting us to incorporate these elements into our own spaces.

Inviting Nature into Our Projects

Textures play a big role in SUPER NATURAL too, working to create an environment that feels grounded. Here we see unrefined surfaces made from stone and wood, furnishing fabrics with tactile, linen-like hand-feels.

Nods to the patterns of nature are everywhere here too. For example: the flowing architectural lines of mycological systems, which mimic the complex networks of fungi that spread beneath the forest floor, creating a hidden yet vital web of life. Another example lies in the silent, perfectly contained worlds of tide pools

Bringing SUPER NATURAL to Life with FR-One

How is this trend manifesting at FR-One, and what are the key insights we, as a textiles company, can derive from it?

Here are the main insights so far:

ONE: Textured surfaces. In an era where the balance between nature and humanity is vital, this design theme highlights the dominance of raw wood surfaces and the unfinished look of concrete ceilings. Interiors are rich in texture, featuring elements like bouclé, where fabrics made from natural materials and blends are paired with the appearance of linen, cotton, and wool.

  1. TWO: More than just a 'mood'. As a theme it highlights the fact that our connection with the earth is more than through ‘natural’ materials or ‘organic’ shapes: instead, it’s a fundamental part of us and not so easily explained away.
  2. THREE: What are the key colours for this trend? From the Pantone colour system: Moonless Night, Amber Flow, Sequoia, Pea, Bristol Blue, Puce, and Eden.
