After two years living in exceptional times, the signs are definitely pointing towards a new start. At long last, the experts from stilbüro bora.herke.palmisano were able to go out and about again in search of the most important ideas for design and creativity. They found powerful lifestyle themes that respond to the pressing questions of our time in very different ways. What they all have in common, though, is a close connection to people, their feelings and their experiences. The Ambiente Trends 23+ pick up on developments of previous years and at the same time confidently take them further. In particular, the themes of sustainability and research into relevant materials, new aesthetic solutions, artisanal skills and digital innovations have been actively advanced by designers and product developers. Instead of escapism, the aim is to create new approaches and perspectives.
