Since 1997, we have offered design consulting to companies that manufacture or sell products or materials for furniture and interior decoration.

We are the nationwide leader when it comes to design expertise for furniture trends, material and surface finishes. With professional trend scouting for the industry and the resulting annual TRENDFILTER® presentation, we have repeatedly proven that our design forecasts reach the market after three to five years.

Our team behind the founder of TRENDFILTER, Katrin de Louw, comprises graphic designers, interior architects and marketing experts and offers comprehensive and unique design consulting as well as concepts for corporate and product presentations.
