Watch on demand now: Key CMF trends and expectations

Just as tyres are the only point of contact between car and road, CMF defines the connection between car and driver.

Everything passengers can see and touch has been carefully considered by designers who must blend innovation and tradition, finding new alternatives to tried-and-trusted solutions, or championing natural materials that have been ethically sourced.

Areas of focus include:

• Which innovations are showing promise, and what is just a pipedream?

• How are 2025 forecasts playing out?

• Colour trends that have caught our eye

• How is the role of CMF evolving

• Expectations for Milan Design Week 2026
