Is it important to follow the trend? One might ask. Some people like me don't like to follow trend. But, you can't deny the flow, especially when you are drowned with the same pattern over and over. As though you are forced to accept the concept, and until you feel that it is normal to have such pattern. Fortunately we are living in a world now which emphasizes individualism. It is okay to have certain way of flow, although it might be off from the main stream.
What is the trend currently? Simple, clean, spacious, minimal, back to nature.
A coincidence, the current trend is my favourite. Extremely organized (maybe not, depends), simple, minimal, straight to point. With the technology , the designers can now reach what would be impossible a decade or a century ago. When I say design, it includes all areas - fashion, graphic, interior, architecture, etc. The designers are jumping on the technology 's bandwagon to take their creativity to the next level.
Back to nature. Capitalists have literally destroyed the environment we lived a century ago to what we see now. Green technology , sustainable design, renewable material, etc. are everywhere and overloaded. However, let's look at the bright side, it is good to have awareness here and there to remind us (hopefully to warn us) to save our mother earth.
Quiet, peace, private, in a chaotic, busy, public place - is now the excited and challenging trend.
An interesting video. Hope it inspire you.
