What is the Harmonious Design trend?
Harmonious Design: As environmental concerns continue to influence consumer spending, many designers and architects are blurring the line between natural and man-made in their work.

Related to fears around climate change and the wellness movement, this progression highlights a growing awareness of the role people's surrounding's play in determining quality of life.
