2017 has been quite exciting for furniture designers! A shift towards sustainability and eco-friendly designs have given an opportunity to design makers to be more creative — as the buyers are moving away from mass-produced furniture with imitated designs.
At AIFF, We’ve dug out what’s made the hit list for interior design in 2017, as well as some great practical examples from the exhibitors of AIFF.
Wanderlust
As hinted by Sibella Court during 2016 Int’l Seminar Series at AIFF, ‘Wanderlust’ is all about being a globe-trotter and exploring the beauty of diversity, heritage and local craftsmanship.
The collection of Gorsia Handicrafts & Design is the ultimate fruit of wanderlust inspo. As Architect Jay Gorsia and Spanish industrial designer Alex Caparros explore furniture designs in a modern format which is inspired by the fusion of Indian & Spanish cultural legacy.
Woven Baskets
Woven baskets are the perfect example of how particular lifestyle demands a shift in interior trends. Urban living and lack of space demand storage solutions – and 2017 is the year of sustainable living. Now guess, what can be a sustainable storage solution? The answer is simple – Woven Baskets.
