‘Inspiration 2018’ features striking reference photography from a broad spectrum of Icelandic subjects, including nature, architecture, colours, light and street art; touching on core themes that are set to shape commercial interiors in the year ahead.

The book covers diverse topics; detailing the vibrant reds found on the roofs and facades of traditional homes and the colour’s contrast to the rich greens of the landscape, to the coveted hand-crafts that form the mainstay of the country’s fashion and interiors. Revealing Iceland as a wonderful resource for inspiration, INVISTA Antron® carpet fibre has achieved a unique insight.

Stephan Hanke, INVISTA Antron® carpet fibre, expands: “With ‘Inspiration 2018’, we have explored the stunning landscapes and distinctive culture of Iceland, a country that’s incredibly rich and layered and with a complex relationship with its harsh and isolated environment.

“Living at the extremes of climate and at times quite inaccessible, Icelandic communities must look towards the resources of their environment and traditional crafts to prosper. In modern times, as we see a return to Global uncertainty, this appeals to our desire to retreat and surround ourselves with the familiar and trusted. For this reason, we are expecting that Icelandic influences will filter into commercial interiors as wellbeing and comfort become increasingly important.”
