OPEN SPACE
Universal access to education, information and design has never been easier. Democracy is prevailing and movements for equal rights have strong voice. Cultures have merged and unified - MIX & MATC H – take elements you like, blend, experiment and find your own combination. This freedom of expression causes an unprecedented explosion of diversity. It is difficult to talk about subcultures nowadays, as each individual has develop its own subculture. We are not talking today about the cult of idols, adored and admired by millions. Now, anyone can be a star. For a short while, but still. Everyone has unlimited access to the media. You don’t have to take part in a talent or reality show on TV , because you can create one for yourself using free social media tools. Paradoxically, even nationalist movements are a consequence of the growing freedom and inability of individuals to cope with it.
LESS BARRIERS, LESS WALLS
These changes affect architecture and design. The layout of the rooms and their purpose is changing. This is vivid when you see modern kitchen, which has become part of the living room. It is the heart of home, a place for work, social gatherings, a place to spend time. The same areas are adapted to perform several functions. Less and less walls in our homes, more and more light and openness. Just as we do many things at once, our environment must be prepared to keep up.
How are design trends being shaped in this environment?
Fast! Trends lifetime has reduced. From showing up in one neighborhood to adaptation in the entire world passes weeks or days, not seasons. Everything happens in parallel. We cannot any longer talk about trends in terms of the 20th century. Today it is not about the fashionable color of the walls, but about the philosophy. Our holistic approach to life, the objects that surround us and the environment we live in - these are the places to look for the trends.
