TRENDBARK expands its research and membership offerings for 2026–27 with a continuous Research Desk, an archive of past trendbooks, a new Color Directions 2028 release, extended fieldwork beyond Milan and hands-on mentoring for members.
A Trendbook Archive gives members historical context alongside new forecasts, supporting cyclical reading of trends.
Color Directions 2028 focuses on colour behaviours for interiors and is included for Studio members.
Field research extends beyond Milan to cities such as Seoul, and Studio membership includes direct mentoring with Elisabetta Rizzato.
TRENDBARK has added several concrete resources for its international group of members—interior designers, architects, in-house product professionals and independent practitioners.
Fieldwork remains central. Milan Design Week continues to be a key research moment resulting in an annual Milan Design Week Trendbook and seminar. Research has broadened to include other cities and markets, with explicit mention of extended work in Seoul and future Seoul-specific content for Studio members. This reflects a method that compares how ideas develop differently by place, culture and market.
TRENDBARK Studio is aimed at professionals working with spatial design, product direction and market-facing work. The combination of continuous research, historical archives and mentoring is presented as useful for people who need both forward-looking guidance and grounded context. TRENDBARK Studio 2026–27 is open for new members, and the post includes a link to explore membership.
Designers and product teams who rely on trends for specification, colour decisions or product direction can use the Research Desk for ongoing signals rather than only end-of-cycle forecasts. The Trendbook Archive supports decisions that need historical continuity. Color Directions 2028 supplies applied colour thinking across residential and contract contexts, including palettes and combinations. Direct mentoring makes it possible to adapt research to a given brief or market.
