“We’re really excited about the future of organic and sustainable materials like mycelium! The innovation in plant-based matter, natural dyes, and other groundbreaking materials makes this an incredibly exciting trend to watch. With new products emerging constantly, the possibilities feel endless.
“Our focus for 2025 is to continue creating joyful, sustainable interiors for both our residential and commercial clients. We’re eager to experiment with innovative materials and collaborate with the talented craftspeople we’re constantly discovering. Plus, we also have an exciting new product project in the pipeline, more to revealed early next year!”
Joyce Wang
”We have been captivated by the soft Industrial trend, blending the rugged, utilitarian essence of traditional industrial design with warm, inviting, and tactile elements. In particular, we are interested in latex, resin-like materials that can be concocted entirely by hand in a domestic environment. With some advantages over other toxic chemical and byproducts, we are keen to explore how these materials can start to filter light, provide comfort and act as an acoustic skin.
“Looking into 2025, we are excited to expand our reach and influence. Emerging markets such as the UAE present unique opportunities to infuse our designs with regional cultural influences while aligning with their fast-paced urban growth and modern sensibilities. Similarly, pursuing additional projects across America/ Europe to expand our global portfolio, blending diverse cultural contexts with innovative design. We are excited to draw on local vernacular architecture, materials, and craftsmanship, we are always thinking about material evolution – which honours the traditions and identity of the locations we work in but also pushes our material in various boundaries, creating a dialogue between global trends and local heritage.”
Brigitta Spinocchia Freund
“I’m most excited about the resurgence of interiors that tell a deeply personal story – spaces curated with collectibles, art, and design pieces that feel truly meaningful. This trend embraces individuality and celebrates the collector’s journey, focusing on rare and unique items that create a narrative within the home. It’s a shift towards design that reflects one’s passions and identity in a more intentional way.
“My focus will be on championing this approach by sourcing extraordinary pieces for my clients and creating interiors where every detail holds significance. I’ll continue blending my passion for modern craftsmanship with collectible design, striking the perfect balance between timelessness and individuality. The goal is to ensure every space feels as rare and unique as the pieces within it.”
Gemma McCloskey of Cupla Studio
“We don’t focus heavily on following trends from a stylistic perspective, however we strongly believe in the idea that interior spaces should go beyond their basic function which I think is becoming more important in our industry. A well-designed space has the potential to offer so much more, to inspire, connect and engage.
“For example, when is a store not just a store? When it becomes an experience, a place where storytelling, design and interaction come together to create something memorable and meaningful. This philosophy drives us to think beyond the conventional and push the boundaries of what an interior space can be.”
Kate Guinness Design
“I’ve been so delighted to see the rise of vintage lately, and hope that this continues to strengthen in the coming year. We’ve noticed that vintage and antique pieces are being used more and more, and as a result, there are many more second-hand and vintage dealers popping up. Hoping that alongside this trend we will have a rise in furniture restorers.”
Toni Black of Blacksheep
“In 2025, I’m most excited about the rise of independent boutique experiences in the hospitality world. These spaces bring a ‘home away from home’ feeling, creating lifelong or even fleeting but impactful moments that truly stay with you.
“My main focus will be collaborating with local craftsmen and championing smaller creators, as well as preserving old-school craft to bring these unique, meaningful experiences to life.
“As designers, we will also be embracing the use of AI further within the workplace to work smarter, streamline operations, and enhance productivity while staying aligned with creative and meaningful goals.”
