Orbit Revive: where the future meets the past – Horticulture Trends 2026
Every year, Plants & Flowers Foundation Holland develops several style trends for the horticulture sector, collaborating with the sector organisation Tuinbranche Nederland, iBulb, INretail, and Bureau Nijman + Van Haaster. The Horticulture Trends 2026 consist of four inspirational style trends for flowers and plants. In this article, we explore the Orbit Revive trend, which looks both forward and backwards at the same time – also known as vintage futurism. Read on and get inspired!
Orbit Revive
Technological progress is here to stay and is drastically changing how we live and work. Just like the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s, we find ourselves on the eve of technological breakthroughs. This gives us a sense of looking into the past as well as the future. This ‘vintage futurism’ can be seen in interiors in a combination of retro Space Age and modern organic design. Iconic design classics have returned, and James Bond himself seems to have had a hand in the decadent, luxury interiors.
Key values of this trend are: the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s retro design, Space Age, organic and luxury.

Orbit Revive in interior design
In the Orbit Revive interior, we see a lot of round shapes, fluffy textures and a smattering of metallic catches the eye. Futurism and retro feature strongly in Orbit Revive products. Shapes are often organic and extra voluminous. Material usage is highly diverse, but we see lots of products with an industrial look & feel. Shiny surfaces and chrome are also frequent features. Designs in this trend have geometric compositions, dégradé effects and organic spot patterns.
In terms of flowers and plants, the ‘80s are the main source of inspiration. This means bouquets that are one-sided, with a clear height difference. This trend also includes dried flower arrangements. Plants often have colourful, dark or shiny leaves. Botanicals are combined with various leaf colours in plant dishes.
Colour Palette
The Orbit Revive colour palette is dominated by natural shades, from light nudes to warm brown. Various shades of green, from yellowish green to olive green, offer a fresh contrast. Colours like deep pinkish red, orange, silver and chrome provide a surprising accent.
