Mindset. Mindstate. Makeshift.

Colour is a powerful currency in today’s chaotic world. Designers hold the unique ability to translate this currency into meaningful visual language. Every colour decision in product development reflects the Mindset and Mindstate of a brand, product and designer — and it influences consumer preferences and purchasing behavior.

The SHIFT forecast introduces 18 inspirational CMF stylings, thoughtfully formulated for application in Industrial and Architectural markets, offering designers a strategic collection of hues to drive innovation and connection.

In a world where algorithms often write the narrative, freethinkers are elevating the Mindset. By questioning the status quo and valuing truth, they challenge the idea that success is all about money and power. Instead, they invest in what really matters: connection, culture and consciousness. Ready to rewrite your story?
Mindstate is the emotional lens through which we experience the world. Unlike your deep-rooted belief system in your Mindset, Mindstate is all about how you feel right now. It changes moment to moment. Those feelings drive your decisions — how will they affect your decisions about design?
The intersection of Mindset and Mindstate is where we take action — where we MAKESHIFT. How we interact with the people, businesses and systems around us ultimately affects our choices and preferences.
