>>TREND RESEARCH IN DESIGN: EMPATHY, SUSTAINABILITY, AND BIOPHILIC SOLUTIONS FOR A CHANGING WORLD We live in an era of immense challenges: environmental, social, and economic crises are reshaping how we view our cities, living spaces and homes. In response, design is evolving, offering solutions that prioritize human needs, and the planet and its habitants. For many years, I have been involved in trend research, and at this very moment, I find myself wondering what the KEY DESIGN TRENDS FOR THE COMING YEARS might be. Emerging trends point to a future of conscious and meaningful creation: _CRAFTSMANSHIP AND AUTHENTICITY: In a world dominated by technology, handmade work takes center stage. Woven textures, tactile details, and meaningful natural designs connect us deeply to Nature and Culture around us, blending beauty with purpose. _MULTIFUNCTIONAL SPACES: Homes are adapting to dynamic lifestyles. Kitchens transform into hubs of social interaction, bedrooms evolve into multifunctional suites, and traditional rooms find new purposes, such as studios or creative spaces. _A CREATIVE LOOK TO THE PAST: Vintage and last century original designs are resurging—not only for their aesthetic appeal but as sustainable choices. Iconic pieces and repurposed materials tell unique stories while reducing waste. _SUSTAINABILITY AND CIRCULARITY: They are becoming central in design trends. The growing focus on reusing and restoring vintage furniture is an eco-conscious choice that helps minimize the environmental impact of producing new items. Investing in the renewal of older pieces aligns perfectly with the increasing demand for environmentally responsible solutions. _NATURAL AND SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS: Wood, ceramics, raw textiles, and organic forms are taking the lead, promoting healthier environments and fostering a true connection to Nature. _EMOTIONAL DESIGN: The goal is to create spaces that enhance psycho-physiolocical well-being —warm, inviting, and inspiring creativity and connection. _RECONNECTING WITH NATURE: Biophilic Design is set to grow in the coming years. With a rising focus on creating spaces that connect people to Nature, this approach aligns with global efforts to counter urban stress and foster healthier, more inspiring environments. Its appeal lies in addressing both aesthetic desires and deeper psychological needs, making it a natural fit for evolving lifestyles.
