The annually published “Influences” trendbook deciphers major societal and consumption trends over an 18 to 24-month horizon. This year, Francéclat decided to split its study into three distinct trendbooks, each dedicated to a specific sector: watchmaking, jewelry, and tableware. This segmentation aims to offer more relevant and targeted analyses and inspirations.
Themes 2026: Four Key Directions
The themes explored in the Influences 2026 notebooks include:
Metamorphoses: In the era of digital and environmental transformations, this theme explores the symbiosis between nature and technology, creating new and aesthetically unique evolutionary theories.
The 9th Continent: This theme proposes an odyssey celebrating mixtures and syncretisms, reinventing folklores through the hybridization of traditions and extravagant forms.
Inner Fortresses: Amid external turmoil, this theme values interior spaces as havens of peace, capturing the poetry of ordinary life and redefining everyday objects as extensions of the soul.
Modern Laboratory: The convergence of technology, science, and design, this theme highlights innovative sobriety, creating recreational utopias and redefining our lifestyles creatively and enrichingly.
To enrich these perspectives, Francéclat collaborated with the foresight consulting firm Leherpeur Paris and a team of stylists and designers specialized in each sector. Additionally, six students from École Boulle contributed by transforming anticipated trends into concrete and innovative creative directions.
