Future perfect: Designer imagines the home of tomorrow

16 : 01 : 2014 IMM Cologne : Das Haus : Home

Cologne – Each year at the design trade fair IMM Cologne a designer is commissioned to create Das Haus, their vision of the ideal future home.

For the 2014 fair, Dutch designer Louise Campbell created a home that was filled with Minimal Harmony, using neutral colours, soft lighting and a layout that flows harmoniously.

Campbell’s installation is a shingle-sided house with no interior walls. Instead there are soft fabrics that can be rolled up and down when dividing space is needed. It is a home ‘for him and her, for slow and fast, soft and hard, light and dark, colour and material – with a tranquil space in the middle where everything fits together with some quirks, but no conflicts,’ says Campbell.

Check out LS:N Global’s Future Family macrotrend for our own vision of the future home.
