Everyone loves a good collaboration right? It turns out that mash-ups aren’t just for songs anymore. Two popular trends in the world of product design seem to be on a collision course for greatness. Learn how easy it is to incorporate organic natural shapes with intricate and unique tactility into your next product design and, more importantly, why you should consider it.
NATURAL SHAPES
Embrace the curves and say hello to exaggerated forms. There is always going to be a seat at the table for sleek sophistication, but every so often, it’s nice to change it up and play with dimension. Foster a deeper appreciation and connection to the world around us by introducing forms and textures that are seen in nature. Imitate the ripples in a lake and the bubbles formed by ocean foam. Allow your product branding, custom emblem, plastic trim, or functional component to truly stand out within your product design.
SHIMMERING IRIDESCENCE
Gradients and color shifting are front and center in these two trends. Capture the attention of your consumers by incorporating sparkling, glittering, and shimmering finishes. One of the best ways to highlight texture and form changes is to pair them with bold colors and finish treatments. Utilizing our iridescent and color-shifting paints, we give your product design two looks in one! When the color changes based on the viewing angle, consumers are compelled to take notice.
LAYERED DEPTH
These two trends call for a manipulation of materials that seem to defy convention. One of the major benefits of using plastic for your custom name plates is rear-surface printing. The added durability is a bonus, but the aesthetic achieved is the real star of the show. The resulting extra dimensionality showcases such a beautiful layered depth simply unachievable in many other materials.
Shaped by Nature and Experimental Tactility take product design into a unique direction as both crop up within accessories like eyewear and footwear. They've also been spotted in product packaging within the beauty industry as brands look to create eye-catching designs for the influx of online customers. Natural shapes and iridescent finishes can also be found in the home as part of lighting fixtures, appliance accents, and kitchen and bathroom fixtures.
