Top 30 Modern Trends in May

These May 2020 modern trends range from recycled bottle pavilions to kid-friendly architecture challenges.

Standouts include the Concrete Melt Chair by Bower Studios, a unique furniture piece that transforms a stiff and industrial material into a softer and curvilinear surface. Drawing inspiration from liquid, this contemporary chair is not only visually striking and minimalist but also utilizes a common material in new ways that challenge its properties.

The #architecturefromhome project is another notable example launched by British architecture studio Foster + Partner. The series of kid-friendly architecture challenges aims to keep children occupied with creative projects during the COVID-19 pandemic, offering a fun and educational resource while giving parents peace of mind. The architecture challenge series encourages a variety of mediums including drawing, model making and more, ensuring parents can keep families busy and engaged as many juggle working from home, parenting and home schooling responsibilities.
