Welcome to the world of SCARLET OPUS

Hi!  I’m Victoria Redshaw, let me tell you a little about myself, Scarlet Opus, and how we can help you …

We are Trend Forecasters specialising in the Interiors sector, helping you to:

• make more informed decisions
• inspire your team
• lead with confidence

Getting the right product offer for your customers is clearly paramount, now and in the future.  You must always be looking to the future, seeking those actions that will give you the opportunity to secure maximum short term sales from long term customers.  Scarlet Opus Trend Forecasting IS THAT ACTION!  When you integrate trend forecasting into your total business strategy you’ll reap these rewards:

• You’ll have the right products for your customers at the right time, every time.
• Your products will reflect designs, colours, and materials aligned perfectly with consumer desires.
• Your marketing messages will anticipate, and be aligned with, consumer thinking.
• You’ll align your total business activity with your customers’ wants, needs, and desires.
• You’ll know which designs, colours, and materials will have the best chance of lifting sales values.

Scarlet Opus was a dream of mine from the age of 19.  When I started my degree at The University of Huddersfield I already knew I wanted to run my own company; but first I knew I needed experience in the industry.  After graduating, a design position gave me contact with Buyers at most of the national high street interior product retailers in the UK; in addition to creating designs for them, the Buyers began asking my opinion on future seasons:

• What products and designs would work next season?
• What colours?
• What did I think the major style themes would be in the future?

Over the next 7 years I developed my skills as a trend forecaster for interiors and at 30 felt with complete certainty the time had come to set up on my own.  Now I’m proud to head a small team of talented, passionate, creative individuals with the commitment and energy to really make things happen FOR YOU!

We love our work and our enthusiasm and dedication will shine through in everything we do for you.

Our clients are Product Designers, Interior Designers, Architects, Manufacturers, Retailers, and Distributors.

With our practical and accurate insight into tomorrow’s design trends, together with expertise in product and surface pattern design, your profits and sales will increase whilst your relative costs decrease.

We regularly collaborate with the media to provide opinion and insight to editorial features and, of course, each week we write informative and inspiring postings for our blog where we continue to:

• Explain how we forecast the trends
• Highlight key emerging influences
• Preview future interiors trends
• Discuss the Wants, Needs & Desires of consumers
• Encourage participation and openness!

Where does the company name come from?  Well, I wanted to include the word ‘Scarlet’ – the most passionate of colours – our work involves so much colour and we are so passionate about our work (the Red in Redshaw was just a bonus!).  ‘Opus’ means a creative work, though often associated with a musical composition it essentially refers to an artistic masterpiece – the greatest work of a Creative.  The name of our company is a constant reminder to the team that we are passionate about producing our very best creative work, bringing these qualities to the work we will be doing for YOU.

It’s what we love to do.  So, call me, or one of my team, and discover for yourself the power of our support for you.
