On her 6th trip to Australia, internationally acclaimed trend forecaster, Milou Ket returned to a packed design crowd at Decoration + Design eager to learn from her global travels and explore the emerging design themes for the 2013/14 home.

Milou shared her inspiring vision of future materials, structures and form in product development, including bedding, bath, ceramics and more.

We took five with the inspiring styling and design forecaster post-seminar to chat further on her latest book; scouring the globe from Paris to Shanghai to source new trends and design content; and her own home that sticks to a minimalist, clean aesthetic.
