Biography
I have been in the field of CMF Design forecasting and consulting for over 15 years. With a degrees in Product Design (Art Center) and Marketing Management (Webster Uni) I have come to realize that forecasting of CMF design is also about finding the source of the trend and telling the story that goes with it in relation to the clients product.
The presentations are dynamic and useful for any industry that creates products that need to be updated regularly. I am currently consulting in the fields of automotive, transportation, sports products, telecommunications, audio visual and fashion accessories.
Information is presented in collage form that is easy to understand for designers, product planners and marketeers.

This coming Monday, on the Expert Talks stage at IFA Global Markets, Anouk Groen – CMF Design Forecaster will deliver her Design Inspiration Forecast – what she describes as a “visual journey through the latest design trends with a focus on CMF (colour material and finish), customer motivation and the social trends that drive them”. We asked her to tell us more about current trends. 2019 marks the centenary of the Bauhaus Design Movement; the birth of modern design. The movement encouraged functionality, simplicity and beauty. Fast forward to the 2020 design forecast, and we see the importance of “desirability” or “functional beauty”.
