Launched in 2006 and new to ESP Trendlab, 20/20 Vision is the result of a collaboration between Liesbeth Oltmans and Els Van Niekerk, founders of Oltmans van Niekerk. Oltmans and Niekerk look beyond seasonal and ephemeral trends. In their annual forecast book, 20/20 Vision, Oltmans and Niekerk present a clear and well-organized overview of worldwide cultural, technological, economic and social trends. 20/20 Vision is an essential source of information and inspiration for anyone who's involved in long term product development, marketing and advertising. As a result of their analysis, the authors predict future trends in lifestyle, fashion and interior design. Oltmans van Niekerk's predictions are based on thorough investigation, scenarios, common sense, powerful intuition and many years of experience in fashion and interior design. Oltmans van Niekerk is visionary but concrete. Both Oltmans and Niekerk studied Textile Design at the Royal Academy of the! Arts in The Hague and have worked for internationally known companies. www.oltmansvanniekerk.nl
