/ Japanese Design & Style

 

Although I wrote about the Japan style back in 2017, the trend is still here to stay. In fact, other than being a style inspiration for many settings and furniture pieces, Japanese design was also one of the highlights of this year’s Rising Talents Award. In fact, it was fully dedicated contemporary Japanese design, with a selection of 6 emerging designers hand-picked by architect Kengo Kuma and other leading names in the world of Japanese design.

Trend 2

/ Retro Futurism \

5 Top Design and Decor Trends for 2023 from MAISON & OBJET 2022

 

There was definitely a lot of vintage and retro in this edition of Maison &Objet, that is not a new thing I know. But what’s new is that retro atmospheres were often paired with a futuristic aesthetic, inspired by the Metaverse and digital art, creating new designs and settings with a very interesting new style. From the exhibit to the Designer of the Year Franklin Azzi –  actually named exactly RETRO FUTUR – to many other news, back to the future is definitely a mood to keep in mind now.

Trend 3

/ Happiness and Conviviality \

 

After two years of pandemic and in the middle of a global crisis, home decor become even more a space where to find creativity and joy. Colourful designs with fun shapes, creative patterns, rounded edges pop up everywhere as a reaction to the years of minimalism and grey/beige. Furniture design embraces conviviality thanks to new combinable solutions, like the coffee tables designed by Uchronia to be combined together in an infinite length.
