EVEN THE FUTURE
HAS A PAST
It all began about 15 years ago, when the AkzoNobel Group Global Aesthetic Center invited
international design experts and trend watchers to define a palette of colours that would be relevant for the future.
As AkzoNobel became aware of the added value they could offer clients by focusing on design trends, the
Group invested in developing these activities and published their colour predictions in a book for the benefit of
the wider public. Each year, colour trends are traced, analysed and compiled in the colour palette of the year.
Both the Zweihorn® and Sikkens Wood Coatings brands benefit from the prediction of future colour trends and
combine current research findings with their own analyses at furniture fairs every year to determine the colour and
wood trends for the woodwork industry. Discover the colour and wood trends in WoodFutures 2016
with Zweihorn® and Sikkens Wood Coatings.

This motto illustrates the colour and wood trends of 2016. We are at a crossroads in time.
We are at a very interesting point where we can see the advantages of both tradition and modern innovation. We
need the inspiration of the past to shape the future. Even the main wood designs we have identified for the next
12 months should be considered in relation to each other - in their relationship with their opposite. Opposites
produce tension and allow things to appear differently and, often, give them greater value. Technology has
become such an important part of our life that we once again enjoy printed books or paper and pen. Wood and
glass, wood and metal, wood and stone are very different materials, yet when tastefully combined, they both gain
in value. Opposites can be seen in all our trends:

WITH COLOUR AND WOOD TRENDS
Colours and colour schemes play an important role in modern interior design, to express
individuality and to improve well-being. It is therefore useful to know which colour and wood trends are currently
setting the tone. With the help of ColourFutures™, WoodFutures and the template, you can try out different
wood and colour combinations for yourself. This is how it works:

This allows you to evaluate the colour and wood sample effect perfectly. The grey side has a neutral effect on the colour
combination, as it does not distract the eye. The black side gives an impression of the combination in relation to existing
dark colours.

There is also a trend for windows and house doors to be as
natural as possible whilst at the same time providing excellent
protection against the weather. This can be achieved with
Sikkens Wood Coatings natural effect coatings, such as
Cetol® WF 980*. For windows and house doors made of
wood, we recommend our Cetol® WF 945, which provides
a matt appearance.

The ochre gold shade has a significant effect on ash when
stained with Aqua Creative Stain ACB in the 20YY 36 / 370* /
Colour of the Year shade. Woods such as smoked oak, walnut
or light oak are also well suited when treated with colourless
varnish. The best soft matt effect on colour varnish or wood is
achieved with Crystallit® Dead Matt CL-TM or Variocryl® Dead
Matt VC-TM.

On our quest to to find the wood trends of 2016, we found the combination of wood and
gold was popular everywhere in the world of design. Wood and gold have very different characters and yet they
complement each other perfectly. We have called the colour that connects the main 2016 trends ‚ochre gold‘:
light enough to reflect the lustre of the gold but also delicate enough to recall the natural tones of earth and wood.
When we translate the colour palette of the year into wood and wooden composites, light woods, such as oak,
ash and spruce, come to the fore. In this way, attractive opposites can produce an exciting tension. The
expressive natural appeal of natural woods is combined with soft, coordinated, contemporary, elegant, matt
varnish shades to create a very special emotional connection.

Strong shades of brown or warm pastel shades are the most
favourable for this colour scheme. They can be produced on
house doors, for instance, by using Cetol® WF 382 or WF 387
plus WF 990, or on wooden/aluminium doors and windows by
using the product Cetol® WF 980. The matt product Cetol®
WF 945 is ideal for wooden windows and house doors.

Aqua Creative Stain is ideal for the application of shades of red
onto woods. It is available in all shades of transparent wood and
opaque hues. Perfect high gloss surfaces are best obtained with
the pigmented topcoat Wigranit® Novacolor WNC, with the clear
Crystallit® High-Gloss topcoat CL-H or the water-based alternatives,
the pigmented topcoat Variocryl® Color VCC and the clear topcoat
Duocryl High-Gloss DC-HG.

Vintage and antiques references stand in contrast to our modern way of life - or support it.
When we appreciate our own history, we learn to build values and are therefore better placed to shape our future.
When we translate these thoughts into wood treatment, we see the red stains that represent our rich heritage,
coordinated with lighter shades to suggest wear. We also find techniques to age woods and panelling in artistic ways.
These shades of red in a warm orange have a pleasant and beguiling effect. The vivid colours make spaces more
expressive. When we combine the shades of red with the brown and pastel shades of the colour palette, we
create a pleasant, calming atmosphere. The opposite of antique and original materials, such as natural massive
woods (e.g. wild walnut), can be convincingly combined with a coordinated red high gloss varnish for this setting.
Unstained woods should be coated with a very matt coating.

The untreated surface effect also lends this colour scheme its
charm. This precise effect can be obtained on natural woods
or pastel-coloured stain shades when using the clear topcoat
Crystallit® Dead Matt Varnish CL-TM or water-based Variocryl®
Varnish Dead Matt VC-TM. Aqua Creative Stain is an ideal stain
with its shades ranging from transparent to opaque.

In China, the art of traditional oral story-telling is back in fashion. This trend is also
increasing in popularity in the Western world, as we can see by the use of writing in interior decorating, for
instance. The colour palette combines deep dark blue and graphite grey wood stains with soft hues, such as
eggshell velvet and pastel green. This produces a graphic, high-contrast effect. The deep, dark shades come
into their own on deciduous woods and achieve a very natural effect when the wood is stained first and then
varnished with a clear deep matt varnish. Untreated wood and bonded panelling complete this colour scheme
and give it a natural appearance - with a light Scandinavian touch.

We can also apply the world of light and dark to windows and
house doors. If the walls are darker, wooden doors and windows
can also have a dark design, or a bright point of contrast can be
created by inner wooden/aluminium elements. For light shades
with a matt appearance we recommend Cetol® WP 566 and
Cetol® WF 980*; for wooden windows and house doors in dark
colours, use Cetol® WP 566 + Cetol® WF 960 / WF 965.

Bright colours are suited to applications with the water/
alcohol-based Spray and Brush Stain S9900; powerful shades
are best with the Aqua Creative Stain ACB. Contrasts can be
produced with high gloss colour varnish surfaces coated with
Wigranit® Novacolor WNC plus Crystallit® High Gloss Varnish
CL-H and very matt natural woods treated with the clear
topcoat Crystallit® Dead Matt or Variocryl® Dead Matt.

For a long time, we focused on light, and now we realise that we also need darkness for a
healthy and balanced life. Use contrasts to create a special mood. By using naturally dark woods and stains,
we create a unique contrast to the gold of this colour scheme: shades that recall the „golden hours“, the hours
after sunrise and before sunset. The dark, masculine shades combine well with light woods such as maple, ash
or oak with a rough structure. By choosing light, colourful shades with smoked oak or dark-stained woods,
we obtain lovely light-dark contrasts.

WF 960 and WF 952 products. For wood/aluminium, we
recommend Cetol® WF 980*.

Natural wood veneers combined with varnishes of trend
colours have a confident and creative effect - a style of the
future. After staining, we recommend using clear matt topcoats
such as Crystallit® Dead Matt or Variocryl® Dead Matt for all
pastel shades. For powerful colours, simply use the varnishes
named above in silk-gloss levels.

The modern, urban lifestyle yearns for controlled chaos. Using organic shapes in product
design shows how creativity can unfold without the restrictions of a fixed grid. However, we need limits in our life,
even when we long to rebel against them. Freedom is only understandable within the context of a framework.
Round wooden panels create this stable framework whilst leaving space for new interpretations. The colour
palette reflects the contrast. The colours are playful, but are kept in check by the black and white of the grid. Allow
spaces to speak, and demonstrate the freedom of enhancing the wood effect with modern stain shades.
