Design 2019: trends to watch
4 top local designers reveal their tips + predictions.
We’ve asked some of our favourite local designers – Pallavi Dean, Cecilia Morosi of SUPERFUTUREDESIGN*, Ellen Søhoel of XBD Collective, and Duncan Denley and Romit Chakravarty of desertINK – what they foresee as the year’s top trends. Their predictions? A love and respect for natural, brilliant saturated hues and an renewed interest in nature, biophiilia, and sensory – specifically audio – experiences. This love for nature-inspired beauty and cultivating our higher sensibilities will have us re-imagining our indoor spaces and outdoor spaces – as well as the way we treat the planet and one another.
