Colour Hive have been forecasting and publishing design, colour and material insight for more than 20 years. Each season they launch four design directions in their own publication, MIX Magazine. With engaging narratives and informed colour palettes, these are Colour Hive’s creative interpretations of the how the big-picture drivers will emerge aesthetically. Through creative concept, expert industry panels, and analysis of how drivers and outcomes differ across geographic regions Colour Hive are confident in the business and creative value of their directions.
Colour Hive are returning to Surface Design Show with a dedicated 2025 showcase, featuring exclusive future insights from Colour Hive membership including MIX Magazine, Colour, Material and Finish Directions and Global Colours alongside an edit of one-of-a-kind inspirational objects and materials inspired by their 2025 design direction Hack. In Hack, Colour Hive develop themes that question how the snowballing of advancements in tech could impact creativity. In this environment, we enter a liminal world, where aesthetics are informed by the Metaverse, gaming and AI.
