PHYGITALFUTURE

This year the various exhibitions depicted a truly Phygital future. One in which the digital and physical worlds are so tightly interwoven that is hard to distinguish one from another.

We recognise that this new era will be characterised by technology which seamlessly blends into the home environment and becomes part of our daily life.

DIPPED MATERIAL

Our designers are consistently looking for new and innovative ways to embed information-sharing and entertainment into our immediate surroundings removing the need for standalone mobile devices and computers.

They are bringing a sense of digitalization into previously passive household objects including sofas, tables, chairs and even entire living spaces, such as the garden, the kitchen and bathroom.

INVISIBLEKITCHEN

Numerous brands presented new concepts and projects, designed to create an easy and intuitive cooking experience, bringing joy to the consumer while allowing them to save time and effort.

There is clearly a desire to bring some natural and realistic feeling into a daily space such as the kitchen with natural dark woods, marble table tops and warm metals with a vintage touch used throughout.
