Shapes & Forms
The shapes can range from having a futuristic look to somewhat austere, and then in direct contrast some have an organic shape and form.

Gradient effects are also highly used, as shown in the lilac to white longiflorum lily. Metallic finishes also feature heavily on various materials such as ceramic and imitation leather.
Materials
Many of the materials are highly contrasting, either strikingly matte or extremely glossy. Transparent materials add an extra dimension to this trend as do the metallic finishes, whether these are on materials such as ceramic and imitation leather.
Flowers & Plants in This Trend
Many flowers and plants are perfectly placed within the Cosmic Future trend, where they have their own natural futuristic look. Whether that’s alliums, especially the schubertii varieties, or the shampoo ginger as featured in the mood board, or anthuriums. However, many flowers and plants can be used within this trend as it’s generally the strong interplay between between different elements that brings it to life. The FCH describe this as striking contrast between “light and dark”. This can be achieved with contrasting textures as shown with the plant combination, or Eryngium in a glossy glass vase — but also through colours as is also evident with the images on this page.
