AMBIENTE 2016 is where you can observe that the trends show a great deal of creativity and eagerness to experiment. This is based on the high demands placed by an ever greater number of designers, manufacturers and consumers on contemporary consumer goods.
- Artisanal gardening : artisanal processing techniques are cultivated, complemented by found objects and vintage products to form a harmonious whole. Natural materials such as clay and ceramics, wood, bamboo, linen, wool, denim, velvet and suede marry with traditional craft.

- Futuristic couture : the combination of traditional crafts with such technical developments as 3D printing opens the way to a fully unexpected aesthetic interior design.
- Fonctional simplicity : high-calibre minimalistic design renders the essential in its purest form. Sober and honest, inspired by the use of material in sports and architecture, his trend exudes a beguilingly sensual perfection.

- Composing freedom : awild medley of old and new, unconventional patterns, bold colours, materials and design idioms of all kinds with clear traces of street style and the 80s.
